SEARCH
Builds dynamic ELN pages tailored to keywords, ordered by date, and
with previews of all images found in project folders. This means that ELN users and their supervisors will actually be able to find the data, even years later.

THE BIG PICTURE
Unlike paper, electronic pages can be linked in any way imaginable. If page "X" describes data relevant to page "Y" from the past month, wouldn't it make sense to somehow connect these pages so in future this relevance is not lost? This ELN supports unlimited custom links with comments from any pages and to any pages.

SECURITY
BiochemLabSolutions ELN is more secure than paper when encryption is enabled. Once the program is closed, all data become locked at the bit level. The implemented Open Source TrueCrypt encryption can be set to encrypt-decrypt ELN on-the-flight. Encryption is cryptographically strong and deniable. TrueCrypt was developed by security experts and is trusted by security experts over the world. In fact, it is considered by many the golden standard in encryption.

AUTHENTICITY
"Was this sentence here on December 17, 2008 ? Or was it edited in yesterday ?" With digital documents, it is easy to do editing without a trace. If this question cannot be answered with a solid proof, ELN records lose value as a trusted documentation instrument. BiochemLabSolutions ELN integrates a simple and effective audit method to prove that every record, every comma and every byte in ELN project or in entire ELN is original and was not modified after the date of signing. The digital signatures used are cryptographically strong (symmetric equivalent of 256 bit) and once issued, cannot be compromised or bypassed. Digital signatures can be created automatically on a schedule. You don't need to be a security expert to use or interpret them.

DATA MANAGEMENT
BiochemLabSolutions ELN is designed as a powerful data manager. The ELN stores all notebook records and all data files relevant to each ELN page. Opening ELN pages brings to view all the associated data to ensure a convenient way of storing and managing digital lab resources.

AUTOMATION
Making records with this ELN is easier than using paper. Everything, from a quick note to time stamping with digital signatures, is automated and requires an absolute minimum or no user efforts and time. This ELN is designed with only one central idea - making records easy. This ELN frees researchers from routine actions associated with making records and considerably increases productivity.

All ELN records are explicitly designed to be immediately and fully compatible with Internet Explorer and other common web browsers.
Self-contained ELN design permits viewing of all records and full-featured
navigation through the pages without ever installing this program.
Recent versions of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox
are recommended for optimal viewing.
The ELN is built around HTML to guarantee compatibility, accessibility and
ability to search in all OS and on mobile phones for years in the future.
Data do not leave your computer unless explicitly configured for networking and sharing.

User-defined styles
Color palette, icons and default fonts can be custom-defined.
ELN appearance can be custom controlled via a style.css file, which allows to change page design from "very square" to "very round", add shadows, add cell borders etc.
Access this option from
"Menu->Fonts and styles".

Myth Paper lab notebooks are safer and more future-proof.
Reality Paper notebooks can be (and have been) lost to floods, fires and accidental or intentional mishandling. ELNs can be backed up to many locations.

Myth ELN records will be useless when software maker goes out of business
or simply stops existing and returning phone calls.
Reality This is a due concern with many ELNs. Not with this one, as long as
web browsers exist. Anything you write is in HTML and yours to keep.
Nothing will expire and there are no strings attached, even without license.

Myth It's easy to manipulate digital data without a trace, while integrity of paper records can be proven.
Reality What would stop someone from adding and modifying text in paper notebooks? On the contrary, editing digitally signed electronic records would require to break the central protection algorithm used in all modern banking. Which would make a fairly big news. Why else use ELN? For convenience of keyword search, low space requirement and excellent data organization, to start the list.

NETWORKING
Can't be simpler. One only needs to select a network drive, a network path, or a DropBox folder as the ELN home location. That's all.
For sensitive data, VPN or TrueCrypt-enabled networking could be used, as well as TrueCrypt containers hosted by DropBox.
Untrained users should be able to use this ELN without help from IT support to run an entire lab in a multiple users, centralized server scenario.

SHARING
Project contents can be shared without asking the other party to have the ELN software installed. The strength of the BiochemLabSolutions ELN is in using open-source HTML-coded pages (open-text format = ultimate data ownership by the user). However, users can also use their own servers or DropBox to co-author joint ELNs across the world, and collaborate.
