Open Source Technology Partners

LabLynx is a strong supporter of open source technologies and the global communities that drive their innovation. We actively partner with and support leading open source software projects, contributing enhancements, best practices, and operational expertise that help strengthen these platforms for scientific and laboratory use.

Importantly, LabLynx does not modify the core source code of open source applications. Instead, we respect and preserve the integrity of each open source project while extending their capabilities through secure integrations, configuration, and modular add-ons. This approach ensures long-term compatibility, maintainability, and alignment with upstream development roadmaps.

Through the ELabELN platform, LabLynx delivers enterprise-grade solutions that integrate and extend open source applications with the reliability, scalability, and compliance laboratories require. Our value-added services include:

• Integration and interoperability with open source data management and analytics tools
• Extension of functionality through configurable add-ons and connectors
• Secure cloud, on-premises, or hybrid hosting options
• Enterprise-level security controls and access management
• Automated backups, disaster recovery, and data retention policies
• Professional support, validation guidance, and ongoing lifecycle services

ELabELN incorporates and integrates with respected open source software projects that are widely adopted across scientific, technical, and enterprise communities. LabLynx gratefully acknowledges the contributions of the following projects and their developer communities.
