Microsoft OneDrive is a convenient tool for storing and sharing documents, but it was never designed to meet the demands of scientific research. Without structured workflows, audit trails, or compliance safeguards, OneDrive falls short as an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)—putting reproducibility, collaboration, and compliance at risk.

As more labs transition to digital research tools, some mistake Microsoft OneNote for a suitable electronic lab notebook (ELN). While flexible and familiar, OneNote lacks the compliance, traceability, and scientific workflows required for secure research documentation. Before adopting a general note-taking app, learn why your lab needs a dedicated ELN designed for science.
LabArchives ELN is more than a digital notebook—it’s a powerful tool for sustainability. By replacing over 1.57 million paper notebooks, LabArchives and its users have saved tens of thousands of trees, offset over 1.47 million pounds of CO₂, and conserved millions of gallons of water. Combined with tools that reduce lab waste and a sustainable cloud infrastructure, LabArchives supports science that’s better for the planet.
