Illustrator AI
The new Illustration Editor in LabCollector ELN enables researchers to create publication-ready scientific figures without leaving their electronic lab notebook. Users can either generate illustrations from natural language prompts using AI or assemble fully editable diagrams from a library of science-specific stencils. By keeping figure creation directly within the ELN, the feature eliminates the need for external design tools, maintains the connection between illustrations and experimental data, and streamlines scientific documentation. This integrated workflow saves time while improving the clarity and quality of research communication.
- Generate publication-ready scientific illustrations from simple text prompts using AI.
- Build editable figures with a comprehensive library of science-specific stencils.
- Create and modify diagrams directly within the LabCollector ELN environment.
- Keep illustrations linked to experiments for easier documentation and traceability.
- Improve productivity by reducing reliance on external graphic design software.

Manual
Time Stamp Authority
Provides a digital seal of data integrity and a trusted date and time. Recipients of documents with a trusted timestamp can verify that the document or code was not altered after the date the timestamp vouches for.
LabCollector ELN is compatible with RFC 3161 trusted timestamping and eIDAS-oriented signing workflows, allowing signed PDF exports to be processed with an RFC 3161 timestamp token and, where applicable, an eIDAS-qualified trust service provider.
Electronic Signature
LabCollector ELN includes an easy-to-use electronic signature validation system that verifies data integrity (based on CFR 21 Part 11 and patent requirements). Notebook pages can be signed by both authors and administrator users. Electronic signatures provide proof of the validity of the content at the time of signing.

ELN for Chemistry
The Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) for Chemistry provides a centralized and collaborative platform for managing research activities, reaction development, and experimental documentation. Designed specifically for chemistry laboratories, it streamlines R&D workflows by integrating reaction management, chemical inventory tracking, and data traceability within a single environment. Researchers can efficiently document experiments, manage chemical information, standardize procedures, and ensure compliance while maintaining full visibility of materials, reactions, and results throughout the entire research lifecycle.
- Centralized management of experiments, protocols, and research projects in a structured electronic notebook.
- Creation, editing, and documentation of chemical reactions with fully editable reaction schemes.
- Create links to the exact chemicals in your inventory
- Direct integration between reactions and chemical inventory for complete reagent and product traceability.
- Advanced user permissions for viewing, editing, approving, and electronically signing records.
- Reusable reaction templates to standardize procedures and accelerate project implementation.
- Easy import of chemical data through ChemDraw (CDXML) files and reaction SMILES formats.
- Automatic real-time stoichiometric calculations, including molecular weights, concentrations, limiting reagents, and reaction yields.
- Synchronization with chemical structure databases to maintain a complete history of materials and experiments.
- Increased research efficiency by reducing administrative workload and supporting scientific innovation.
- Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing through centralized and searchable experimental data.
- Enhanced inventory monitoring and reagent tracking across laboratory activities.
- Stronger compliance, data integrity, traceability, and audit readiness.
- Web-based solution requiring no additional software or browser plugins.
- Powered by the ELN Chemistry / ChemTools module and the integrated MolEdit engine.
- Legacy reactions remain accessible in read-only mode, while new reactions benefit from enhanced editing, inventory connectivity, and traceability capabilities.
