Designed for chemistry labs at universities, pharma startups, and research facilities

Everything your lab needs.
Nothing you don't.

Purpose-built for chemistry R&D labs. Every feature designed by a working chemist.

Chemical Inventory

Track chemicals with GHS hazard categories, barcode labels, and real-time stock levels. Built-in ordering workflow from low stock to received.

Electronic Lab Notebook

Log experiments, select chemicals used, and auto-deduct from inventory. Attach images and data. Print lab-ready reports with one click.

Compliance Reports

Generate Tier II, EHS hazardous chemical, and EPA Appendix A&B cross-reference reports automatically from your inventory data.

Waste Tracking

Track waste from experiments, instrument streams, and manual logs. Monitor 90-day EPA container limits with automated alerts.

Equipment Maintenance

Log calibrations, service records, and maintenance history. QR code labels for instant mobile access. Never miss a deadline.

Label Printing

Print GHS chemical labels, equipment QR codes, and sample labels directly to Brother and Zebra printers. All hazard pictograms included.

Multi-User & Roles

Admin creates the database, adds users, and assigns roles. Team members connect over your network. Data never leaves your building.

Privacy First

All data stored locally on your network. No cloud subscriptions. No data breaches. No vendor lock-in. Your research stays yours.

SDS Management

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

Your data, your rules.

Choose how your research data is stored. Both options guarantee zero access by third parties.

Default

Local Network Storage

The standard Laborous deployment. All data lives on your machines, on your network. Nothing leaves your building — ever.

  • SQLite (Solo) or network database (Lab+)
  • Zero internet connection required after activation
  • Full air-gap capability for classified environments
  • You control backups, retention, and access
  • No recurring infrastructure costs
Coming Soon

Decentralized Cloud via Iagon

Optional encrypted backup powered by Iagon — a decentralized storage network built on Cardano. Files are sharded, encrypted, and distributed across a global node network.

  • Files sharded & encrypted before leaving your machine
  • No single node holds a complete file — zero breach risk
  • Decentralized across global nodes, no central server
  • Built on Cardano — energy-efficient & auditable
  • GDPR-ready with region-specific data allocation
  • Optional sync across multiple lab locations

Simple pricing.
No surprises.

Competitors charge $150–$600/month per lab. We think that's absurd.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my data go to the cloud?

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.

What happens when I upgrade?

Purchase a new license key and your features unlock immediately. No data migration needed — your existing data carries forward seamlessly.

Do you offer academic discounts?

Yes. Contact us for university and academic institution pricing. Every research lab should have access to proper inventory management.
