Scispot Labspaces is the modern Electronic Lab Notebook. ELN supports configurability and customization for evolving Biotech workflows.
Wet lab scientists can easily embed various elements using a Graphical User Interface in a few clicks. Computational folks can also use API to programmatically embed various elements and data within the notebook page. You can embed various elements inside your notebook by typing "\" to view the embed options.
Here are some of the "embeds" that Scispot ELN supports out of the box within the platform:
Section & Text Blocks
Section: If you have a use case of moving your content block around the page, sections are the best way to do that.
Headings: Leveraging Scispot's selection of Headings is a good way to style your heading with different font sizes.
Text: This is a default option to write paragraphs within the note editor.
Lists
Bulleted List: Quickly organize items or key points in a concise, easy-to-read format.
Numbered List: Ideal for ordered sequences, steps, or instructions.
Tasks List: Create interactive checklists for tracking tasks and to-dos.
Blocks
Code Block: Embed code snippets or scripts directly into your notes. Supports syntax highlighting for various programming languages to enhance readability.
Quote Block: Highlight important information or key insights by embedding quotes.
Attachments
Image: Once the image is embedded, you can easily resize the image. If you need metadata associated with an image, Labsheets with an image column is recommended
File: Any flat files from your local drive can be uploaded
Page: Embed other pages within a page
Sheet: With a styling toolbar that allows for color-coding and merging cells, easily create ad hoc scientific tables that are relevant to your particular experiment, like calculating the volume and standard deviation. Click here to view all the formulas supported on sheets.
Editors
Chem Editor: Chem editor helps you bring chemical structures inside your notebook
DNA / RNA / Oligo / Protein Editor: This embed lets you bring different mol bio or protein structures within your notebook
Embed Scispot
Labsheet Embed: Integrate structured scientific data tables directly into your notebook. Ideal for managing large datasets, calculations, and experiments.
Manifest Embed: Visualize sample plates and boxes created in Scispot. Embed manifests within your experiment or protocol pages for easy reference to sample arrangements.
Protocol Embed: Add any protocol from the Template Library into your notebook. Embedding a protocol creates a copy, preserving the original template.
Other & Connect Elements
NCBI: You can bring 3D structures from NCBI by pasting a link
Table: Easily embed tables into your pages to structure and display data directly within your Labspace page
Sequence: Any existing sequences stored in your library can be embedded within your pages
One Drive: You can integrate your one drive with Scispot pages, and bring files selectively to your pages
Google Drive: You can integrate your Google Drive with Scispot pages, and bring files selectively to your pages
Google Calendar: Seamlessly integrate your Google Calendar to keep track of experiment schedules, meetings, and project deadlines.
Conclusion
Scispot's ELN offers a wide range of versatile embed options, allowing you to customize your lab notes and streamline workflows with just a few clicks. From lists to protocols, manifests, and even Google Calendar, these features make your scientific documentation more organized and accessible.
