Sep 11, 2026

Uploaded by Oliver

A structured roadmap for implementing a new lab group on eLabNext, covering marketplace add-ons and eLabNext connections, account and user profile settings, group settings and policies, and user roles and permissions. It also details eLabInventory setup for storage units, equipment, sample metadata, and ordering, then guides eLabJournal (ELN) and eLabProtocols (SOPs), including naming conventions and templates. The final stages cover label printer, scanner procurement/installation, ZPL template creation, and supported methods for eLabProtocols.

FAQs

What are the four implementation stages recommended in this roadmap?

The guide recommends four stages: A configuring the eLabNext working environment, B configuring eLabInventory, C configuring eLabJournal and eLabProtocols, and D configuring label printer and scan operations.

If I use eLabInventory only, which stage can I skip?

If you have opted for eLabInventory only, you can skip Stage C and proceed to Stage D.

What does the roadmap cover for eLabJournal and eLabProtocols?

It covers ELN journal hierarchy plus project, study, and experiment setup with naming conventions, experiment templates, and eLabProtocols along with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
