Summary from Vendor: Findings is an electronic lab notebook mostly targeted at researchers and scientists. It is meant to address a fundamental part of the scientific workflow that was traditionally the job of paper notebooks. Findings' ambition is simple: make your Mac, iPhone or iPad a better tool than paper to run experiments and keep lab records.
Findings 2.0.2 – Lab notebook app for scientists. Findings is a notebook app for scientists. When running experiments in a lab, it is crucial to keep. Findings is your lab notebook, reinvented. With Findings, you can easily keep track of your experiments and your research: your lab notebook is always with you and always up to date, be it on the field, at the bench, or at a conference. Findings helps you browse your results, reproduce crucial experiments, and assemble and publish your discoveries. Dec 15, 2014 A loss of research documents to a 'lab fire' or 'lab flood' is inexcusable in the modern age. Speaking of the modern age, since the day I first started doing lab work, I have sought to find a good electronic lab notebook (eLN) solution. When I worked in the pharmaceutical industry, we had an eLN that was alright–not great, but alright.

Before adding a specific vendor or product to LIMSwiki, please review the LIMSWiki:Vendor page and LIMSWiki:Product page articles respectively. They explain the general guidelines that should be followed when creating such pages. |
An ELN vendor is an entity (business, company, corporation, etc.) which provides electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) software or software packages. The ELN software may be very generalized to handle a great number of laboratory situations, or it may be very specific to handle the needs of a certain field of study.
Note: The columns on all the following tables are sortable for your convenience. Simply click the small arrows in the title of each column to use this feature. Symantec endpoint protection 14. Additionally, if you wish to sort by column X and then column Y, simply left-click the desired arrow for the first column to sort by, and then hold the Shift key and left-click the desired arrow for the second column to sort by.
