Shared measurement data for research and lab teams
Field and lab work on the same measurements, in one project. Assign roles, compare results and prepare a report from the series you choose.
Free during early access. See pricing for Founder terms and team limits.
From field entries to a shared report
Field and lab in one project
Record measurements with the right stations and dates. Return to the same project to compare series across visits. Roles determine who can view data, add measurements and manage the project.
Roles that fit how a team works
Four roles match real responsibilities. An administrator manages the project, its members and setup. A data-entry role adds and edits measurements and imports files. An analyst reviews and exports the data without changing raw values. An observer gets read-only access. So a student can enter results while a supervisor reviews and a co-author just looks - each with exactly the access they need.
A report for the selected range
Choose stations and a period, compare series and prepare a PDF report to share with the team. You can also export data to Excel or CSV for further analysis.
Session approval and manual change history
The activity log records who entered or edited a measurement and when; entries are retained for up to 24 months. Automatic connector readings are not logged individually. Sessions can be approved and locked; the measurement itself remains subject to the project retention policy.
Existing spreadsheets and new readings
Import saved spreadsheet values into the project. Connect your project to a supported sensor or public data source. LimnoLog fetches new readings on the schedule you set, so you can compare them with your own measurements. See the connectors page for supported sources and setup details.
Connectors & public dataShare results beyond the team
Export the selected data range or share a public dashboard without login. Check its contents before publishing. If the project requires a repository deposit with a DOI, prepare it separately according to the funder’s requirements.
For research & lab teams - questions
How many people can work in a project? +
Invite your whole team - team size is unlimited on Lab Team and Institution (Free caps it at 3 people per project). Roles (view, edit, administer) control what each person can do, and everyone sees the same up-to-date data.
Is LimnoLog a LIMS? +
LimnoLog collects, compares and shares measurement data. It is not a full LIMS. Roles, manual change history and session approval support team organisation; they do not certify compliance with laboratory accreditation requirements.
Can we import our existing data? +
Yes. Import spreadsheets in XLSX, ODS, older XLS and CSV, in long, wide or very-wide layouts, so your existing data comes across in one go.
Where is our data stored? +
In the European Union, GDPR-compliant, with access enforced per row so people only see the projects they belong to. See the data security page for the details.
Can we plan the cost into a grant budget? +
Yes. LimnoLog is free in early access, and accounts opened now keep the core application free for good - so a team can adopt it today and budget any future connectors or dashboards into a multi-year project, with a permanent founder discount locked in from day one.
