Case Study: University of Oxford improves secure collaboration and data integrity with LabArchives

University of Oxford - Customer Case Study

The University of Oxford virology lab, led by William James, faced the dual challenge of managing a vast amount of research data and rapidly pivoting its work to lead the COVID-19 response, all while the pandemic forced its researchers to work remotely. The lab needed a secure and resilient digital solution to replace its unmanageable paper notebooks and enable remote collaboration. To solve this, the lab implemented the LabArchives Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN).

LabArchives provided a centralized, secure digital platform that enabled the Oxford team to store all data, collaborate effectively from any location, and maintain rigorous data integrity. The solution allowed the lab to continue its critical COVID-19 research without interruption, eliminating the risk of data loss and preventing the potential contamination that could come from moving paper notebooks in and out of high-containment labs.
