Thank you for choosing the LabCollector system for the management of your lab information. LabCollector is an Intranet-based (totally web-based) application that brings all the comfort and power of your lab network to access and manage a great variety of information. If you install it on one of your lab computers it can play the role of a server for the other computers in the lab.


LabCollector has been created using Open Source tools and languages to keep it a low-cost solution, insofar as is possible, and so can be installed on any operating system (Windows, macOS X, Linux…). Furthermore, the use of web technology makes it a light solution, as no “client” applications have to be installed on each computer. The interface is accessed through a simple and recent Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari …). Therefore, lab information and data is accessible from anywhere. The support of wireless devices provides even more flexibility.


With the incorporation of the latest technologies such as Ajax, we expect to provide you with a dynamic and comfortable interface.


This manual will give you an overview of all the features available in LabCollector. All these functions will be described in detail and with step-by-step procedures in our KB: Knowledge Base.
