But should you use a laptop in your laminar flow hood?
Probably not.

Paper is often the most practical note taking tool at the bench. Thatâs why IGOR created an easy-to-use mobile app that lets you snap pictures of observations in the lab, or scan notes, then securely upload them straight into the right experiment. Calculations, cell counts, treatment notes - captured and organized in seconds.

Jot things down on paper, your glove, a sticky note - whatever works in the moment.
Open the IGOR app to capture your notes or document key lab observations, like the pattern of bacterial colonies on a petri dish.
Select the experiment, hit confirm, and your notes are instantly saved to the correct ELN entry - organized, secure and easy to find.
When you use the IGOR app, your notes and images arenât saved on the device. Theyâre only held temporarily in the app and deleted as soon as they are uploaded or the app is closed - so no sensitive data is ever left on a userâs phone.
All uploaded files are end-to-end encrypted and automatically scanned for potential threats before being added to the web applicationâs research data storage. Only verified, safe files are stored - protected by daily backups and robust security protocols.
IGORâs mobile and web applications are independent systems that communicate only through secure APIs. This design ensures that the mobile app exchanges only the minimal data required for its functions and never accesses experiment data or other sensitive information stored in the web application.
Let us show you how easy lab data management can be.
