Labguru

Labguru is an all-in-one laboratory management platform designed to replace disparate notebooks, spreadsheets and point solutions with a single, searchable digital system. Built by scientists for scientists, it combines an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), inventory and equipment management, automation tools and informatics modules into a cloud-hosted solution used by tens of thousands of researchers. The platform emphasizes secure data hosting (SOC-compliant AWS data centers), audit trails, electronic witnessing and support for FDA CFR 21 Part 11 workflows so teams can manage both discovery and regulated work in one environment. Core capabilities center on organization, reproducibility and automation. The ELN provides structured project and experiment pages, protocol templates and a Protocol Converter that can turn Word, PDF, TXT and spreadsheet content into Labguru-ready protocols. Experiments and results are time-stamped and linkable, enabling robust audit trails, annotations and signed witness workflows. The LIMS functionality tracks samples and large collections, maps storage locations, manages orders and centralizes requests—reducing duplicate purchases and preventing sample loss. Inventory features include smart shopping lists, barcode/QR label generation with a Label Wizard, low-stock alerts and visual reporting to keep consumables and reagents under control. Labguru also provides practical lab management tools that reduce friction in day-to-day operations. Equipment scheduling and maintenance tracking prevent conflicts and downtime; dashboards and built-in reports visualize assay results, throughput and resource utilization; and an eBR (electronic batch records) module digitizes production records for manufacturing environments. Automation features let users build custom workflows with triggers, rules and predefined steps; Lab Scripter and RESTful API access enable instrument integration, data import from lab devices and scripted automations to eliminate repetitive data-processing tasks. A mobile app (Labhandy) brings task lists, inventory checks and experiment access to the bench, supporting remote collaboration and on-the-go lab work. The platform is designed for broad adoption across academia, biotech, pharma, CROs, agritech, food and chemical labs. Typical use cases include consolidating decades of paper notes into a searchable ELN; running regulated studies that require electronic signatures and audit trails; scaling sample- and sequence-centric workflows (for example, NGS operations); or integrating instrument outputs directly into a centralized dataset for downstream analysis. Labguru highlights industry-specific bundles and preconfigured workflows to reduce implementation time, and its team of PhD application scientists provide onboarding support and customization to match lab practices. Integration and extensibility are core themes. Labguru supports common cloud storage integrations (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox), works with electronic signature systems, and exposes developer tools plus a RESTful API to connect instruments, LIMS add-ons and third-party analytics. Add-ons such as Dashboards centralize metrics and charts, while label printing, barcode scanning and Titian Mosaic sample management are call-outs for sample-centric operations. Labguru’s approach—combining ELN, LIMS and informatics—aims to give labs a single source of truth that reduces manual search time, lowers human error, improves reproducibility and streamlines regulatory readiness, all while keeping customers’ data ownership and access control firmly in their hands.
