Laborous is the affordable, privacy-first LIMS for chemistry R&D labs. Keep your research data local, organized, and compliant — without the enterprise price tag.
Purpose-built for chemistry R&D labs. Every feature designed by a working chemist.
Track chemicals with GHS hazard categories, barcode labels, and real-time stock levels. Built-in ordering workflow from low stock to received.
Log experiments, select chemicals used, and auto-deduct from inventory. Attach images and data. Print lab-ready reports with one click.
Generate Tier II, EHS hazardous chemical, and EPA Appendix A&B cross-reference reports automatically from your inventory data.
Track waste from experiments, instrument streams, and manual logs. Monitor 90-day EPA container limits with automated alerts.
Log calibrations, service records, and maintenance history. QR code labels for instant mobile access. Never miss a deadline.
Print GHS chemical labels, equipment QR codes, and sample labels directly to Brother and Zebra printers. All hazard pictograms included.
Admin creates the database, adds users, and assigns roles. Team members connect over your network. Data never leaves your building.
All data stored locally on your network. No cloud subscriptions. No data breaches. No vendor lock-in. Your research stays yours.
Store and organize Safety Data Sheets for every chemical. Export as zip archive. Track SDS compliance across your entire inventory.
Built by a working chemist at a Fortune 500 diagnostics company — because existing solutions were too expensive and too complicated.— The origin of Laborous
Choose how your research data is stored. Both options guarantee zero access by third parties.
The standard Laborous deployment. All data lives on your machines, on your network. Nothing leaves your building — ever.
Optional encrypted backup powered by Iagon — a decentralized storage network built on Cardano. Files are sharded, encrypted, and distributed across a global node network.
Competitors charge $150–$600/month per lab. We think that's absurd.
All plans include a 30-day free trial. No credit card required.
Competitors charge $150–$600/month per lab. Laborous starts at $299 total.
Never — by default. Laborous runs entirely on your local network. If you opt in to our Iagon integration, data is sharded and encrypted before it ever leaves your machine.
Purchase a new license key and your features unlock immediately. No data migration needed — your existing data carries forward seamlessly.
Yes. Contact us for university and academic institution pricing. Every research lab should have access to proper inventory management.
