Financed jointly the by AFD and the Mérieux Foundation and developed by ÆGLÉ, the LabBook software helps medical biology laboratories in developing countries improve the management and control of their data, which are essential for guaranteeing high-quality analyses.

The latest version of the software, LabBook 3.0, is now available for free download. Faster and still just as easy to use as before, this version is also open-source, which means that the code is available on GitHub for anyone to use, change or share.
