How to select an ELN for biology R&D

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have become an indispensable tool for life science R&D. Implementing an ELN-centric informatics solution is an integral part of ensuring that an R&D organization runs at full efficiency. If the wrong ELN is adopted, however, it runs the risk of creating inefficiency through a lack of scientist adoption and insufficient integration with other systems.
In this guide, we present best practices for:
  • Assessing the need for an ELN solution, along with the various types and benefits 

  • Sourcing the best ELN solutions through consultants, requirement analysis, and research

  • Evaluating, selecting, and adopting an ELN
