Accelerate teamwork, maintain compliance, and reduce friction across your research workflows. IGOR equips scientific teams with secure, purpose-built tools to collaborate effectively and meet industry regulations.
In research, one-size-fits-all rarely works.
One team might need tightly controlled SOPs and standardized workflows. Others are managing sensitive client inventories or coordinating with collaborators halfway across the world.
And yet, most ELN and LIMS platforms try to force everyone into one rigid, bloated workspace setup - leading to friction, confusion, and poor adoption.
IGOR was built differently: with flexible, self-contained Collaboration Workspaces that adapt to your teams, projects, and clients - not the other way around.
IGOR was designed from the ground up with real-world research collaboration in mind, supporting secure, flexible teamwork across departments and external partners, without compromising usability for individual teams.
Retain Institutional Knowledge
IGOR ensures that critical data, experiments, and documentation never walk out the door. All work is securely stored, searchable, and fully traceable - even after team members leave.
Smooth Knowledge Transfer
Whether it’s a new hire, a department shift, or a cross-site transfer, IGOR makes it easy to pick up where someone left off. No digging through old folders or tracking down missing files.
Preserve Research Context
Linked documentation, results, notes, protocols, and inventory records keep everything connected - so contributors can see the full picture, not just the final data.
Configure Workspaces Your Way
Every team, department, or client can have a workspace tailored to their exact needs - from metadata fields and templates to user permissions and inventory structure. There’s no need to force a one-size-fits-all setup.
Keep Roles and Permissions Flexible
Assign users to multiple team workspaces and customize their access based on what they need to do in each - from full access and editing rights to view-only access. Roles are easy to adjust as projects evolve.
Collaborate Without Compromising Security
Each workspace keeps experiment data and SOPs strictly separated, ensuring IP-sensitive information stays contained unless explicitly shared to reduce the risk of accidental data exposure.
As collaboration with external research institutions, clients, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) becomes increasingly important, challenges like secure data transfer and real-time sharing persist.
‍
​​​​IGOR addresses these challenges with its innovative design and advanced user access and permission structure, which enable secure, real-time data sharing with external partners and CROs.
Collaborators can seamlessly contribute data, SOPs, and materials to your workspace as needed, while ensuring your data and sensitive information remain secure.
Bringing someone new into a collaboration project? It’s quick and simple.
‍
You can invite them in seconds and assign exactly the access they need. Each Workspace manages its users independently, so collaborators can only see and access the Workspaces they’ve been added to - helping protect sensitive data by default.
Roles can be customized to match each person’s responsibilities, giving you full control over what they can view, edit, or manage on a workspace-by-workspace basis.
As teams evolve or priorities shift, users can be added or removed at any time - keeping collaboration secure, organized, and running smoothly at every stage.
Each Collaboration Workspace in IGOR features highly customizable access controls and user permissions, all managed effortlessly through the intuitive Team Dashboard.​
Admins can easily delegate tasks related to Workspace management and fine-tune permissions to fit their team's specific needs. That includes defining who can author, witness, and approve SOPs or Lab Notebook Entries, as well as managing workspace customization and controlling access to research data.​
It eliminates the need for manual oversight or workarounds, even in complex company structures where roles, data access, and responsibilities vary from team to team.
See how IGOR makes scientific collaboration secure, flexible, and frustration-free.
Yes, and this is something IGOR was specifically designed to handle. In modern research, collaboration often extends beyond the lab - to CROs, clients, and academic partners - and that means data and IP security can’t be an afterthought.
In IGOR, each collaboration can take place within a dedicated, self-contained Workspace, with its own secure environment for experiments, SOPs, templates, inventory, and documentation. When onboarding external collaborators, you have complete control: invite them to specific Workspaces, assign custom roles, and define precisely what they can view or edit - on a collaborator-by-collaborator basis.
‍
And when a project wraps up, access can be removed instantly. Their permissions are withdrawn immediately, but all their data and contributions remain safely stored in the system and linked to the project's history.
In short, IGOR enables effortless, secure collaboration across internal teams and external partners - without compromising data integrity, confidentiality, or control.
This comes up a lot in growing teams, and it is one of the areas where IGOR's Workspace structure really helps. Scientists can be members of multiple Workspaces at the same time, each with its own independently configured permissions. A researcher splitting time between two projects, or working across two sites, sees exactly what is relevant to them in each Workspace based on their role in that specific project.
Admins can adjust permissions any time as projects evolve, people change roles, or new collaborators join. And because each Workspace is self-contained, there is no risk of data from one project crossing over into another, even when the same people are working on both.
Anyone who has had a key team member leave mid-project knows how painful it is to piece together what they were working on. IGOR keeps that from happening. All experiments, SOPs, templates, and documentation live in structured, searchable Workspaces. When someone moves on, changes roles, or a project transitions between departments, everything stays complete, connected, and accessible, so the next person can pick up immediately without recreating work or tracking down files.
For example, when a project moves from Process Development to Manufacturing, the Manufacturing team can be granted access to the relevant historical experiment data they need. Admins can also transfer SOPs, templates, or inventory repositories directly between Workspaces to support a clean handoff. No digging through old emails, no wondering where someone kept their protocols.
Yes, and most teams find the switch easier than expected. The core problem with shared folders and spreadsheets is that they require everyone to stay disciplined about file naming, version control, and where things live. In practice, that discipline breaks down over time. IGOR replaces that fragile system with a centralized workspace where experiments, data files, SOPs, and inventory are all in one place, updated in real time, and accessible to everyone with the right user permissions.
No more emailing files back and forth, no more wondering which version is the latest, no more digging through a shared drive to find a protocol from six months ago. Everyone works from the same place, and everything stays connected.
It is one of the first questions any PI or project lead should be asking before opening up their workflows to outside collaborators, and rightly so. In IGOR, the Workspace structure handles this by default. Each Workspace is a closed environment: experiments, SOPs, and data stay within it unless you explicitly share them. An external collaborator invited to one project can only see what you have deliberately given them access to, nothing else.
Role-based permissions let you control exactly what each person can view, edit, or export. IGOR also maintains a complete version history of notebook entries and uploaded files, with timestamps showing when changes were made and by whom. You get the benefits of open collaboration without the exposure risk that usually comes with it.
It stays exactly where it is. In IGOR, data belongs to the organization, not the individual. When someone leaves, their experiments, notebook entries, protocols, and inventory contributions remain fully intact, searchable and accessible to the rest of the team as if nothing changed.
Admins can revoke access immediately, while everything the departing member worked on stays organized in the relevant Workspaces. No scramble to export files before someone's last day, no lost context, no gaps in the project history. For regulated labs especially, this is what makes the difference when an auditor asks about work done by someone who left two years ago.
