Modules
Six modules, one data core
Each module works on its own. Switch on more and they share the same samples, methods, instruments and people — no export, no second list.
Data core
Captured once — usable everywhere
Samples, reagents, equipment, methods and people are shared master data. A calibration that expires in the equipment log shows up instantly in the test report, in QC release and in the audit — no export, no second list.
- Every change recorded with time, author and signature
- Modules switched on individually, rights per role and department
- Open interfaces: REST API, webhooks, CSV/Excel import
One order, six modules
From the delivered sample to the signed test report
Drinking-water sample PB-2026-0184, anions per DIN EN ISO 10304-1 — one record, six modules, nothing retyped.
- 1PB-2026-0184
Sample arrives
Intake with order, due date and storage position, QR label printed right away.
Sample management - 2WL-2026-118
Onto the worklist
The test plan pulls in method DIN EN ISO 10304-1, instrument IC-02 and the analyst.
QC & analytics - 3IC-02 · AW-03
Instruments are demonstrably fit
Calibration of balance AW-03 valid, maintenance of the ion chromatograph on record.
Equipment & calibration - 4EXP-2026-231
The work writes itself down
Preparation, dilution and observations in the journal, linked to the sample and signed.
Lab journal - 5BA-031
Worked safely
Risk assessment and operating instruction for eluent preparation are approved and acknowledged.
Lab safety - 6Nitrit 0,62 mg/L
Result, action, report
Limit 0.50 mg/L exceeded: OOS investigation, action with effectiveness check, report signed.
Quality management

LabNote.Light supports these workflows. The software itself is not accredited or certified and replaces neither your assessment nor your quality management system.

Functions that run through every module
Not tied to one module — available wherever the daily work happens.
Inbox and tasks
Approvals, signatures and due dates collect in one place instead of in email.
AI assistant with dictation
Dictate notes, get drafted text, search entries and samples by asking.
Customer portal
Clients see status and report themselves and ask questions inside the case.
Labels and QR scanning
Scan a sample, container or instrument on the bench and open the right record.
Due-date overview
Calibrations, maintenance, document reviews and follow-ups with advance warning.
Training and authorisation matrix
Who may run which method, how long the authorisation holds, who needs refreshing.
For every role
Built for every lab, every role
Focus on discovery, not paperwork
- Centralized experiments with version control
- Compliance runs in the background — no lost data
- Clear workflows for reproducible science
Modular and scalable
From startup to enterprise, from research group to university-wide
Activate modules individually, separate teams and departments cleanly, expand later — without re-implementation. One platform that grows with you, from a single research group to a multi-site organization.
Startup / Research group
Start small
Activate only the modules you need today — for example ELN and inventory. One department, one team, one invoice.
Scale-up / Institute
Add modules as needed
Add bioprocess, QM, chemistry/EHS, or QC analytics when needed. Departments, visibility, and roles per site.
Enterprise / University-wide
Roll out organization-wide
Multiple faculties, sites, and subsidiaries. SSO (SAML/OIDC), custom roles, dedicated schema, or a dedicated instance on request.
- Modules selectable per organization — from inventory-only to full stack
- Department and team visibility with granular row-level security
- Custom roles and capabilities from Enterprise upward
- Shared pool, dedicated schema, or dedicated instance
Open ecosystem
Data — import, export, and API
LabNote.Light is not a closed data silo. Samples, reagents, experiments, and documents can be imported and exported at any time. The REST API pushes data into other systems or pulls data from them. On request, we build custom interfaces.
Excel and CSV in seconds
Migrate reagents, locations, equipment, and samples via Excel or CSV wizards — with preview, column mapping, and undo until inventory close.
Out again at any time
Download every master record, experiment, and audit trail as structured exports (CSV, JSON, PDF). No vendor lock-in.
Push and pull to other systems
Full REST API with OAuth 2.0 and personal access tokens. Sync data to ERP, LIMS, or other lab tools — bidirectionally or event-driven.
Real-time events
Inbound webhooks with HMAC signature: instruments, ERP, or your own agents send measurements and stock changes straight into LabNote.
Interfaces on request
Special integrations — for example Düperthal, Clustermarket, your existing LIMS, or an in-house ERP — are built to spec on request.
JSON, BibTeX, RIS, AVV
Exports and imports use open formats: literature via BibTeX/RIS, waste by AVV, substances with CAS and GHS data.
API docs and webhook examples in the developer documentation. Custom interfaces on Enterprise request.
Security & Compliance
Built into every plan, not bolted on
GDPR, ALCOA+, and the hash-chain audit trail ship with every LabNote.Light plan — no add-ons, no surcharge, EU-hosted.
