Case Study: Loam Bio centralizes data and boosts traceability with Labguru

Labguru Enables Loam Bio to Integrate Data and Boost Traceability

Loam Bio, a series B agricultural biotech startup focused on soil health and carbon-sequestering microbes, needed a better way to manage its fast-growing research operations. Before using Labguru, the team struggled with scattered files, limited traceability, and no electronic lab notebook, making it difficult to track ownership, changes, source data, and experiment repeatability.

Using Labguru’s ELN, datasets, inventory, storage, and sign-off/witness features, Loam Bio centralized research data, linked results back to samples, and improved tracking across experiments and stock management. The result was stronger reproducibility and research integrity, with more than 500 samples and 1,000 stocks managed monthly, over 100 experiments run each month, and an estimated 350+ hours saved per month thanks to the efficiency gains delivered by Labguru.
