  • Herbie
    Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon
    The semantic ELN Herbie Herbie helps laboratories document recurring or standardized processes clearly and consistently. It transforms any ontology or vocabulary into well‑structured input forms, so that users can contribute to a semantic knowledge graph without needing RDF expertise. Data becomes fully semantically annotated, comparable, traceable, and easy to access. Through the semantically interconnected entries, the full lifecycle of a sample or experiment is visible at a glance, allowing for complex queries across the whole lab. Thanks to its semantic design, Herbie can be adapted to a wide range of scientific domains and integrates smoothly into existing software environments, making it an ideal choice for interdisciplinary labs.
  • IGOR - Your Personal Lab Assistant
    Wildfell Software; Wildfell Software is a North Carolina–based life sciences software company that brings together lab scientists, software engineers, and data scientists to build practical, modern tools shaped by real laboratory needs. The company's focus is on translating complex research workflows and functionality into simple, intuitive software that scientists can use every day without unnecessary complexity. A core principle in their product design is flexibility, giving teams the freedom to adjust and configure their workspaces over time without needing coding skills or vendor support.
    IGOR is a modern, cloud-based lab data management system that helps research teams stay organized, reduce administrative work, and maintain research continuity over time. It brings together an easy-to-use Electronic Lab Notebook with inventory and sample tracking, secure file storage, SOP management, experiment templates, collaboration tools, and project management in one platform. This makes it easier for teams to document, organize, and share their work. The full context of every experiment - from materials and conditions to results and conclusions - is always easy to find. With its integrated LIMS capabilities, IGOR gives scientists full control over their lab inventory. Teams can customize repositories and storage structures to match their physical environment and daily workflows, and adjust them as needs change - without vendor support or coding skills. With a single click, teams can see where materials are stored, where they’ve been, who used them, what they were used for, and how they relate to other samples or experiments. IGOR’s interactive sample family tree makes these relationships easy to explore, enabling teams to track sample lineage across projects, departments, and generations while keeping complete records - metadata, history, locations, and linked experiments - immediately accessible. IGOR’s project management tools help teams coordinate tasks across researchers and departments, track milestones, dependencies, and priorities, or share updates in real time. Gantt-style project views provide clear timeline overviews, while direct links between tasks and experiment results in the ELN ensure traceability and context at every project stage. Above all, IGOR helps research teams preserve what matters most: their knowledge. Work completed months or years ago stays organized, searchable, and connected, even as team members leave and projects change. SOPs, experiment templates, metadata capture, and approval workflows support consistent, standardized practices across both academic labs and biotech organizations. Behind the scenes, IGOR provides the structure growing labs need to keep research organized and trustworthy, with built-in metadata tracking, detailed audit trails, version history for entries and files, granular role- and permission-based access controls, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant digital signature workflows - all without disrupting everyday work. IGOR was built by fellow scientists who understand day-to-day lab work. The result is a lab data management software that’s simple to use day to day, yet robust enough to meet the expectations of fast-paced and regulated research environments.
  • Limsophy LIMS
    AAC Infotray AG; Technology platform and consulting expertise from Winterthur: AAC Infotray relies on expertise and flexibility to offer information management systems tailored to every customer need.

  • PASTA-ELN
    Forschungszentrum Jülich, Institute Structure and Function of Materials (IEK-2); The ELN is developed by Dr. Steffen Brinckmann at the Institute Structure and Function of Materials (IEK-2), Forschungszentrum Jülich.
    PASTA-ELN is a free and open-source desktop software that facilitates transparent and consistent research data management in experimental science. Keeping the raw scientific data at its source, e.g., on the hard disk of the researcher or the respective microscope, is one of the core principles of PASTA-ELN. The local storage of the data ensures its accessibility with conventional analysis software while maintaining its confidentiality and security. At the same time, an adaptive CouchDB document database is used to store metadata, including the hierarchical structure of the project. PASTA-ELN extractor scripts process the raw measurement files while scanning the working directory. As a result, thumbnails, data, and metadata are automatically captured and integrated into the project. Scientists can create new or modify existing extractor scripts to tailor the data and metadata extraction to their needs. In addition, PASTA-ELN facilitates seamless data exchange through a compatible (.eln) file format that conforms to the RO-Crate standard. This feature promotes effective archiving and migration of data and metadata across platforms, supporting collaboration and data interoperability.
