Accessibility and Assistive Technology

Accessibility

At LabArchives, we are committed to an accessibility-first development process to make our products available for all users.  This means that all new features are designed with accessibility best practices in mind when it comes to user interface, experience, and navigation.   Achieving accessibility is an ongoing process which is why it is always included in our product roadmap plans and we work to make our products as accessible as possible while maintaining the data security and privacy standards that are the hallmarks of our services.

We are engaging in our own accessibility audits which are then fed into our roadmap queues.  We welcome feedback and invite you to contact us if you have accessibility questions.  VPATs for each product (ELN, Inventory, and Scheduler) are available via our Trust Center along with other information.

Standards for assistive technology

LabArchives complies with:

• US Rehabilitation Act Section 508.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act.
• WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 Level A and Level AA

LabArchives is built with standard web tech such as JavaScript, HTML5 and WIA-ARIA extensions. LabArchives can be used with many devices and browsers. And our assistive technology features allow for modification as needed. As a result, LabArchives can support users with unique needs.

Testing

Our software code is tested for accessibility during the development process and in the Q/A process.

Our assistive technology is checked automatically and manually. For example, the platform’s colors are tested against visual display standards. In addition, we test for screen reader accessibility. This ensures that visually impaired users can work with LabArchives. Similarly, LabArchives works with keyboard input navigation. LabArchives is accessible technology truly designed for anyone and everyone. Above all, we are here to support our users no matter their needs.
