Comprehensive and flexible ELN system. Powerful rodent features

We have put Labguru at the centre of our day to day labwork, both for lab management and to organise experiments and data. We migrated our consumables, mice list, etc using their template files and use it daily to log experiments, data and protocols.

Functionality

Pros:

It allows to effectively organise your stocks, whether they are cells, reagents or rodent specimens. Allocate them to locations (rooms, racks, boxes) and consume reagents in the experiment records helps keep track of what needs ordering. The experiments can be created, organised, moved and even saved as protocol templates which allows flexibility, as it does the option to link resources. To import and export list of any stocks is very easy and fast using the excel templates. As a manager, is very easy to distribute roles and access to the different users.

Cons:

Sometimes the local edit plugin function to edit a document embedded in an experiment doesn't work properly and requires manual editing, which is more time consuming. Overall it requires to spend time learning how to use it, but this is because it's very comprehensive and has many functions.

Reasons for choosing Labguru

It has many relevant features like the rodents, stock and ordering organisation. It's easy to import existing data using excel templates, which made the migration seamless from our existing records. It's conceived with great flexibility yet has pre-defined fields so you don't have to create every record from scratch.

Functionality

Pros:

We most liked how customizable most features in this ELN are. We can edit the existing inventories, create our own inventories, customize equipment maintenance, and protocols. This has made it easier to easily log and search for scientists' work. It has also made setting up consistent workflows easier.

Cons:

Uptake has been difficult especially with lab members who are not comfortable with adapting to software that requires a lot of clicking and many different steps to setup features. We also wish there was a way to integrate our purchasing with automatic inventory updates. For now, we have to manually enter new inventory stocks.

Reasons for choosing Labguru

The LabGuru reps seemed more knowledgeable and excited by their product and the solutions their product could provide for us. The LabGuru reps seemed much more interested in helping us implement solutions for our problems. Otherwise the two systems were very similar.

A great all in-one data management platform for Biotech

In a nutshell, Labguru allowed us to conduct scientific activities quickly and efficiently. The entire platform is made to offer a customized experience based on the needs of the company. It’s really interesting for young startups like Equaly to start with LabGuru, since it can evolve and adapt to our changing needs along with the development of our company.

Pros:

We particularly appreciate the Excel spreadsheet tool and the possibility to connect an experiment to any other element inside LabGuru with the Linked Resources option. In only one year of use, we experienced the platform evolving.

Cons:

The text processing is tricky, and sometimes the program crashed while working, but this last issue seemed to be solved now.

Cannot live without it

Amazing experience. Tracking and usage of antibodies and when any reagents are consumed. Help us to keep track of consumables and when to order items in good time. Labguru helped us to keep track of when to clean, calibrate, service and audit (etc) equipments so we don't need to rely on the use of google calendar for example.

Functionality

Pros:

Labguru is very user friendly. Although there are still minor things to be tweaked, I like the appearance of the LIMS as a whole and how easy it is for our internal developers to use API and customise the LIMS to fit our needs. It is great with integration with our other sample collection system. It is very easy to import in samples and link experiment and reagent usage to each sample. All actions are tracked and there is a trail log which is super useful if needed for troubleshooting and also for the purpose of auditing and eventually accreditation of our lab. I like that we can customise to get notifications when reagents are running low and when items have expired in addition to when and what maintenance are due for each equipment. Not forgetting it is easy to set up label template and print labels to stick on our lab tubes/plates during our choice of label printer.

Cons:

At the moment it seems that moving items between storage location is not very specific but this is on their list of things to do to make it better. When we have documents to upload for certain equipment, we cannot yet upload them to specific service date that is logged but only upload to the main equipment inventory page, which is ok but would be great to associate documents to corresponding maintenance event. It would be useful to get notifications at a specified time (i.e. 1 month) prior to reagent expiring and not just when the reagents have expired. Our developer had sorted out customised emails for this (again indicating how easy to customise Labguru to suit our needs) but if this setting could be implemented in Labguru it would be very useful.

Reasons for choosing Labguru

SENAITE does not have half of the functionality that Labguru has and also it is much more user friendly and organised and easier to customise to fit our needs.

Labguru: It wears many hats at the same time

I feel Labguru has its own set of advantages but at the same time, it has some risks associated with it. So, I believe the company should bring about some changes in its data backup policies, most importantly, to be in the competitive market.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

Our laboratory has purchased several licenses for Labguru and we have been using it for several years now. 1. One of the biggest advantages of Labguru is that one gets to consolidate all data all content and written matter in one place. So that allows people to be more organized. 2. Besides, most people can then access other's content as well. This may sound bad but is not really, because say I need a protocol for an experiment from my colleague, he tells me exactly what to look for and from which experiment on his Labguru. I simply go and take a look at the protocol instead of bothering him for his notebook or his time. 3. Labguru can be used to maintain instrument usage, bookings, and service which was particularly useful for us during the COVID no contact protocol. 4. Also, maintaining Labguru records allows the authorities/Professor to keep a tab on the progress of their students/staff.

Cons:

The biggest con of this software is that it does not have a backup policy. You can physically store the pdf of the Labguru virtual notebook but what do you do for the data? The moment my lab or research group decides to quit Labguru, all the data will be lost. There are generations of work in Labguru that were saved by my other colleagues, all that would be gone. The second aspect of using Labguru or any similar platform is the heavy reliance on the internet. Labguru is certainly not solely to be blamed solely. If someone has a bad internet day then he/she will not be able to work on Labguru at all.

Pros:

Easy access to all of our laboratory information and research results online.

Cons:

The inventory search feature would benefit from a "search all fields" option, but it's an easy issue to work around.

Reasons for choosing Labguru

I’ve been using Labguru for over five years to manage my academic lab. We currently have 10 accounts. Labguru is very flexible and accommodates our group’s needs easily. There are a ton of feature and there’s a consistently shallow learning curve. Labguru makes it extremely easy for me to keep up on people’s progress. Having all of our group’s research at my fingertips has been a life saver for preparing manuscripts, reports, and presentations. No more leafing through paper notebooks or waiting for group members to e-mail me data. The inventory system allows us to keep track of our strains and stocks easily. Because Labguru is web-based I have easy access to all my lab’s information even when I’m home or away at a conference. The Labguru calendar was instrumental for us to coordinate and schedule lab access as part our COVID-19 research resumption plan. If you’re starting a new lab or looking to make the switch over to an electronic notebook and LIMS system, Labguru is worth the investment.
