Automatically turn unstructured research data into records you can search, analyze, and share.

Most lab data is never shared or reused because it’s trapped in unstructured notes and folders. Labfiler automatically organizes it into datasets — enabling you to dive deeper into historial research and find new insights.

Over 90% of scientific
data stays locked away— never properly analyzed or shared.

Most barriers are practical — not philosophical.

The result? Valuable insights from negative data and procedure details remain trapped in handwritten notebooks, outdated files, and personal drives — making it nearly impossible to search, reuse, or build upon past research.

How it Works

We turn lab notes into structured data.

1. Upload

Upload your lab data

Drag in notebooks, instrument data, or raw files — even scanned or handwritten pages. Labfiler digitizes every record automatically.

2. Automatic Structure

Data organized for discovery

Labfiler’s system automatically extracts data into structured datasets, eliminating the need for costly manual curation.

Request Sample Data

Fill in your details to access the full dataset or request a customized example for your research domain.

Capabilities

What do you want to do next?

Whether you’re exploring decades of archived research or curating your own, Labfiler helps you discover, analyze, and publish your findings faster — all from one connected workspace.

Discover

Search through structured lab data, find experiments by subject, condition, or result, and uncover insights you didn’t know were there.

Analyze

Visualize patterns, compare outcomes, and generate insights directly from your structured data — no manual cleanup needed.

Publish

Turn curated datasets into shareable assets — mint DOIs, export FAIR-ready formats, and bring your data into the scientific record.

Legacy Lab Notebook Project

Preserving decades of discovery for the next generation

The Legacy Lab Notebook Project digitizes and structures thousands of handwritten research records from leading chemistry labs. These historical notebooks are transformed into searchable, AI-ready datasets—ensuring that valuable insights remain accessible for future innovation.
