LabChart for Research

The data acquisition software built for modern research needs

Security and integrity

Record physiological signals, perform calculations, and adjust channels without impacting your raw data. LabChart gives you the confidence to try new things. With updated 64-bit architecture, LabChart 9 is data acquisition lab software built for heavy use, large files, and long recording sessions. LabChart keeps your raw data clean, secure, and stable so you can access it whenever and however you need.

I like the fact that you can store all your data electronically. There is no need to create an auditing trail, because this is automatic. You can't remove bits of information. What is really interesting is that you can really go into the detail of the actual blood pressure trace and perform complex analyses very quickly. You simply export data into a standard template in Excel and have all your answers in seconds. Very smart.

Streamlined workflows

Accurate, time sensitive, synchronized data collection you can rely on. When there is no room for error, LabChart ensures none can be introduced. Follow guided steps to set-up and perform complex protocols, with confidence that LabChart will support you, and your data, from beginning to end of recording.

Of most importance was the fact that all data was recorded on a time-aligned beat-by-beat basis - this is vital for the calculation of transfer function analysis based on the relationship between cerebral blood flow and blood pressure.

Diverse applications

Science isn't just one thing. It isn't isolated to the lab, or confined to a particular method. With a wide range of data acquisition and analysis features, we are continuing to build a broader platform of scientific tools. LabChart is designed to support your research, and grow alongside it; wherever your curiosity takes you.

...the synchronized video is really a complete solution, taking swimming technique analysis to the next level. We have traveled with this equipment [LabChart & PowerLab] quite literally all over the world and presented at national and international symposiums.

A comprehensive research environment

Combining the strengths of our world-class data acquisition hardware and software provides a solid foundation for physiological research. By making LabChart 9 available as a stand-alone product, and as part of a hardware bundle, we aim to ensure your research funding goes further. With our high-quality, purpose-built software and hardware packages we support your research to go further.

I wanted the flexibility to be able to add more sensors, Respitrace and ECG, for example, for measures I could easily incorporate. I'm not an engineer, but ADInstruments has allowed me to really tap into ease-of-use, connecting these sensors and different technologies into the system.
