What is LabChart for Research?
Gold-standard data acquisition, built for discovery
Unlock the full potential of your research with gold-standard data acquisition software. LabChart provides a clean, secure, and stable environment, allowing you to manipulate data, perform calculations, and adjust channels without ever compromising your raw data.
LabChart's extensive range of modules, extensions, and expert support ensures that you can conduct your research with confidence.
I don't think we'd get through all of the procedures we do if we didn't have the ADInstruments systems; we use them every day. I don't think there's a day that I don't use PowerLab or LabChart, whether it's for performing a procedure or doing analysis or monitoring recovery.

Researcher success stories
See how researchers around the world are using LabChart to push their fields forward.
Dr Emily Zimmerman
Northeastern University
“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.”
The primary focus of Dr Zimmerman’s research is to create assessments and therapeutic interventions that enhance suck, swallow, respiration, and neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm infants.
Dr Tony Hickey
University of Auckland
“Many natural environments mirror problems faced in medical arenas today — in studying species that thrive in them, we may develop new insights, and potential treatments, for stroke, coma, diabetes and obesity.”
The primary focus of Dr Hickey’s lab is to examine how life sustains metabolism in extreme environments, and how and why mechanisms of metabolic resilience fail.
Professor Damian Bailey
University of South Wales
“We are interested in how the ageing human brain functions across the spectrum of health and disease, from super-fit athletes to super-sick patients.”
The primary focus of Professor Bailey’s lab is to examine how free radicals impact cerebral circulation across the spectrum of health and disease.
Testimonials
Trusted across research, industry and sport
From cerebrovascular physiology to elite swimming technique — hear how LabChart supports work far beyond the lab bench.
Research
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.
Professor Ainslie
Canada Research Chair, Cerebrovascular Physiology
Industry
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 — you simply export data into a standard template in Excel and have all your answers in seconds. Very smart.
Dr Kengatharan
President & COO, Armetheon, Inc.
Sport
…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.

The course has given me new appreciation of the power of LabChart and the confidence to help students with their software queries. In the past I would refer them to tutors to resolve their issues. I feel much more equipped to help. Thanks ADI.
