One of the main challenges for modern life-science laboratories is dealing with data in large amounts and varied forms. Most research projects involve large teams, multiple sample types and instruments and complex, evolving experiments. In order to become data-driven, labs must derive comprehensible and reliable information from all these sources, analyze it and use it for decision making.

In 2021, security is a major concern for research organizations. With the ever-decreasing cost of drug development and the race to reach market, it is important for organisations to make sure their data is secure from competitors and backed up to prevent losses. 

As a contract research organization that provides services for different customers, maintaining high standards for all organization’s procedures, products and results is key. One way that can help CROs achieve these high standards is by using an electronic lab notebook.

On the verge of 2021, it is by now pretty obvious that pen and paper are for stone age labs. Developing your own LIMS is so 2010. However, lab managers that want to take their lab into the future and become a smart laboratory, should look for solutions that will help them get there. No doubt that more and more organizations both academic and industry labs understand the need to invest in data...

The importance of BioBanking Biobanking has become an important factor in research, supporting mainly genomic and personalized research. Biobanks allow researchers access to data representing a large number of people. Samples in biobanks and the data derived from those samples can often be used by multiple researchers for cross purpose research studies. The advantage of biobanks is huge as it...

Getting There Faster As the year 2020 comes to an end, we can be certain this year will be remembered as the year COVID-19 shut down the world. However, another development occurred as a result of the pandemic: the need for accelerated research. The COVID crisis kickstarted a global race toward approvable medication, vaccines and diagnostic tools, all fueled by the urgent need to overcome...

  Meet Gal Haase, our Product Manager. Gal Joined Labguru almost five years ago and quickly became a main pillar of  Labguru. We asked Gal a few questions to help you get to know him better:

Maintaining data integrity is obtained by using audit trails tracking of all lab activities be it experiments, sample management or instruments usage. Keeping organized records and tracking all activities makes it much easier when an audit is executed and data requested. Using a lab information management system combined with an ELN and informatics solution facilitates maintaining data integrity...

As technology progresses and new smart technologies are developed, research labs face the need to keep up with progress. Continuing working with a paper notebook to document research data is the easy solution, however, it comes with obvious disadvantages; It is not searchable, you cannot share your data easily with collaborators and it comes with security risks since it is more prone to human...

The ELN market has been growing steadily over the years. Biodata was incepted in 2007, to help academia and biotech companies move from pen and paper into a software solution. There is no doubt that 13 years later, we are in a different era when it is clear that labs should work with a research data management solution–  be it ELN, LIMS software or a combination. Manually recording data can...
