Data analysis & visualization
14+ plot types including histograms, boxplots, raincloud, volcano and PCA. Built-in statistical tests, effect sizes and power analysis, styled for the journal from the first click.
The research infrastructure · free for academics
From raw data to published figure, in one place.
LabTools Desktop is the scientific data platform built by researchers, for researchers. Analyse, plot, assemble figures and draft the manuscript on the same data, so a change in the analysis flows through to the paper without rebuilding anything by hand.

The workflow
Plan. Execute. Analyze. Write.
Every stage works on the same underlying data, with collaborative authoring across the top and cloud storage underneath. Click a stage to see what it covers.
Everything your lab needs
One platform instead of ten subscriptions
From data analysis to team collaboration, without juggling separate tools that never quite talk to each other.
Lab management
Experiment planning, protocol versioning, notebooks with backlinks, inventory, and an activity log that gives every result an audit trail.
Team collaboration
Shared workspaces, real-time collaborative editing and video calling, designed around how research groups actually work.
Security by default
256-bit AES encryption at rest, OAuth 2.0 authentication, TLS everywhere and row-level isolation so your data is only ever yours.
Agent-ready
A local JSON-RPC interface and MCP server let Claude and other agents drive plots, stats and experiments while you keep full provenance.
Universal compatibility
Import CSV, Excel and instrument formats. Export SVG, PNG and PDF. It fits the lab you already have.
