Your whole lab in order, without losing a single record

The lab notebook you already know, except it does not get wet, does not get lost and the rest of the team can actually read it. Experiments, protocols, inventory and tasks, with a record of who did what. No per-seat licences.

What is BioForging?

BioForging is an electronic lab notebook (ELN) built for small and mid-sized labs. It brings experiments, protocols, inventory, projects and tasks together in one place, with a hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail and electronic sign-off. Priced per lab, not per seat.

Everything that lives in spreadsheets today, in one place

Every creation, edit and deletion is recorded with author and date; changes to an approved protocol also carry a reason, which is mandatory. When the auditor arrives, the answer is already written down.

Audit-ready traceability

Every action lands in a hash-chained audit log you can verify with one click. Nobody edits the past without leaving a trace.

Versioned, approved protocols

Write the method once, version it and have it approved. The whole team always runs the latest approved version, and it is recorded who ran what.

Inventory linked to consumption

Reagents, lots, expiry dates and stock. Running a protocol deducts consumption, so each experiment states exactly which lot was used.

Electronic signature and reports

Close the experiment with the responsible scientist’s electronic signature and export the report as PDF or the data as CSV whenever you need it.

Three labs, the same problem

Different industries, same scene: data scattered across spreadsheets, paper notebooks and the inbox of someone who no longer works here.

Testing laboratory

Clinical, food-safety or environmental. Every result must be reconstructable: who produced it, under which approved version of the method and with which reagent lot.

  • ✓ Approved protocols, always on the current version
  • ✓ Lot and expiry on every reagent, and the lot recorded on every consumption
  • ✓ Signed report, exportable as PDF

Food production plant

The quality team records checks every day and then has to show them in a customer or regulatory audit.

  • ✓ Routine checks with tasks and expiry reminders
  • ✓ Tamper-evident audit log, with author and date
  • ✓ Change history with reason, ready to show

Small biotech

A handful of people who need the knowledge to stay in the company, not in each person’s private notebook.

  • ✓ Projects and experiments shared across the lab
  • ✓ Inventory and reagent consumption in one place
  • ✓ Everything exportable for due diligence or an investor report

Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN)

BioForging’s electronic lab notebook replaces the paper notebook and the loose spreadsheets: projects, experiments, protocols, inventory and tasks in one shared workspace for the whole lab.

Everything is recorded with author and date, with version history and reason for change, and exports to PDF or CSV whenever you need it. It runs in the browser, on your phone and in the desktop program.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

For small and mid-sized labs that need traceable records: clinical, food-safety or environmental testing labs; quality departments in food and beverage plants; and early-stage biotech companies. If you work with Excel sheets and paper notebooks today and you have audits to answer to, BioForging is for you.

The Free plan is US$ 0 forever (1 lab, 2 users, 25 experiments, 1 GB). The Lab plan is US$ 89 per month per lab —not per user— and includes up to 10 users and 50 GB. The Lab Quality plan is US$ 179 per month, with 20 users, 200 GB and SLA-backed support. Onboarding (migrating your inventory and loading your protocols) is a one-time fee of US$ 350 to 700 depending on the size of the lab.

The database lives on our hosting and attachments (photos, PDFs, annexes) in a private Amazon S3 bucket in the us-east-2 region (United States). All traffic is encrypted over HTTPS and files are never public: they are served through short-lived signed links. Every change, every download and every export is recorded in the audit log.
