How to use Electronic Lab Notebook
Experiments, protocols and inventory in one record
Record each experiment with a hypothesis, protocol and timestamped procedure log, track reagents, samples and equipment, and export an open, auditable report.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open Electronic Lab Notebook
From the workspace sidebar choose Electronic Lab Notebook. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Electronic Lab Notebook.
- 2
Set up your inputs
Record each experiment with a hypothesis, protocol and timestamped procedure log, track reagents, samples and equipment, and export an open, auditable report. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: hypothesis, protocol, results and conclusion per experiment.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: timestamped procedure log you append as you work; inventory with quantities, locations, lots and expiry alerts; markdown experiment reports and csv inventory export.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
