Case Study: Rhodes University Biotechnology Innovation Centre improves lab data management with SciNote

Rhodes University Biotechnology Innovation Centre - Customer Case Study

Rhodes University Biotechnology Innovation Centre worked with SciNote to address the challenges of managing lab data, protocols, and experiment records across physical and inconsistent notebook formats. The team needed a cleaner, more centralized way to reduce loss of critical information, improve long-term storage, and make research data easier to access and verify.

SciNote’s electronic lab notebook provided a user-friendly, clean interface with integration from other platforms such as protocols.io, helping the lab standardize project and experiment tracking. According to the customer, SciNote improved daily data capture, progress tracking, accessibility for colleagues, and backup of written records, with the team noting that it took about a week to get comfortable with the system and that the SciNote support team was efficient with follow-ups.
