Biovia ELN does not yet support the latest update of MacOS (10.15 Catalina). We have not tested ELN with Catalina locally, but from previous experience it is likely to result in bugs and errors. As a consequence there will be no support available for ELN-issues on client computers using Catalina.

Electronic Laboratory Notebook - ELN

Since spring 2011, there is an ELN (Electronic Laboratory Notebook) at Uppsala University for documentation and safe electronic storage of laboratory notes.

Advantages of using ELN

Higher quality and better structure of the research documentation
Improved efficiency, by facilitating information reusage
Higher security as the database is continuously backed up
Searchability
Facilitates communication between various research groups
Possibility to set up the system so that experiments can be countersigned

ELN is used in the same way as a paper logbook, and is primarily a log of research, even though the system also facilitates other types of documentation.
