What are Electronic Lab Notebooks?

An Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is a software tool that allows users to digitalize what has historically been recorded in a paper lab notebook.

From within an ELN, researchers can design experiments and capture their results.

Introducing L7|ESP’s Notebooks Application

L7|ESP’s ELN application, Notebooks, is a customizable document editor used for capturing data while executing unstructured experiments for research and protocol/method development.
