Protocol Library
Versioned, templated, and public
Every protocol has a version number and a changelog. Edit and a new version is created. Private, department-shared, or public — fork-and-adapt.
Built for the way labs actually run
Protocols are first-class citizens in ResearchLab. Every protocol has a version number and a changelog that records what changed and why. When you edit a protocol, a new version is created and the previous version is preserved with its original content. You can roll back to any previous version at any time.
Protocols can be private to your lab, shared with a department, or published to the public protocol library for the wider community. Public protocols can be forked into your own library and adapted — the fork records the link back to the original. Templates for common lab workflows give you a head start, and the institution can publish its own template library on the University plan.
Three steps from setup to sign-off
Write or fork a protocol
Start from a template, write your own, or fork a public protocol into your library.
Version as you evolve
Every edit creates a new version. The changelog records what changed and why.
Share or publish
Keep it private, share with your department, or publish to the public library for the community.
