====== LabInform ======

LabInform is the modular //Lab//oratory //Inform//ation and management system (LIMS) for the scientist, who has neither money nor time to familiarise themselves with complex, large solutions for electronic data acquisition and storage. It is a collection of best practices from almost fifteen years of personal experience in everyday laboratory work.

All components are based on free and open source software, the core idea is simplicity and scalability. The system should fit as easily as possible into existing processes, offer the user maximum freedom, but at the same time help to maintain an overview (or get a new one) when the data volumes grow and the group grows. 

A description of LabInform is available as preprint via ChemRxiv:

===== LabInform ELN =====

One essential component of the LabInform infrastructure is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN). For both, a detailed discussion of ELNs in general as well as a description of the LabInform ELN, see the following preprint on ChemRxiv:

  * Mirjam Schröder, Till Biskup\\ LabInform ELN: A lightweight and flexible electronic laboratory notebook for academic research based on the open-source software DokuWiki.\\ //ChemRxiv//, 2023 [[https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-2tvct|doi:10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-2tvct]]

Besides this preprint, the LabInform ELN is extensively documented. For more information, head over to the documentation available online at https://eln.docs.labinform.de/.

**A note on the logo:** The “L” originates from the Computer Modern Roman font originally designed by Donald E. Knuth for his TeX typesetting system. As such, it represents science and the scientific method. Harbouring the “i” representing the information bit puts things right: Proper and reproducible science is the solid support for all the information we can retrieve.
