Laboratories across the drug development lifecycle are facing growing pressures to streamline workflows and increase output. The traditional method of maintaining paper-based records is no longer sufficient to meet these demands. As a result, laboratories are increasingly adopting electronic laboratory notebooks to accelerate research processes.

However, simply digitizing paper forms is not enough. A successful electronic laboratory notebook implementation must go beyond “paper on glass” to truly harness the power of digital tools—streamlining workflows, ensuring compliance, integrating with external systems and enhancing collaboration across teams.

This webinar will outline how laboratories can be transitioned from paper to digital with ease and efficiency using Logbook™. The expert speakers will demonstrate key benefits and challenges laboratories face when transitioning from traditional record-keeping to a digital environment. They will discuss how a modern electronic laboratory notebook enables labs to move beyond static data entry to dynamic, structured and integrated data management. By eliminating the reliance on paper-based records, an electronic lab notebook empowers researchers to focus on science, not administrative tasks.

Throughout the webinar, the expert speakers will explore the following essential aspects of electronic laboratory notebooks like Logbook and their role in digitizing the laboratory environment:

  • Enhances Data Integrity and Accuracy: By minimizing the risk of recording or entry errors and preventing data loss, electronic laboratory notebooks enhance accuracy and strengthen data integrity
  • Saves Time: With fewer data capture errors and improved record management, time and resources spent on error correction can be minimized
  • Supports Regulatory Compliance: Logbook is specifically designed for both good laboratory practice and non-good laboratory practice preclinical studies, providing a fully GLP-compliant audit trail to ensure audit-ready submissions that meet regulatory standards
  • Customizable and Versatile: An extensive range of features that can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of different application areas
  • Dynamic Data: Leveraging features such as structured and unstructured data collection, controlled terminology integration and real-time collaboration, labs can improve data utility and increase efficiency

Whether using a paper-based system, struggling with legacy digital solutions or looking to optimize lab operations, this session will provide valuable insights into best practices for digitizing the lab and maximizing the benefits of an electronic laboratory notebook.

Register for this webinar today to discover how transitioning from paper-based records to a modern electronic laboratory notebook can streamline workflows, enhance data integrity and ensure regulatory compliance.
