What the Chemistry Labacus^® can do for you

Goes Where You Go

The Labacus^® fits in your pocket, so it can go everywhere you do in the lab, more conveniently even than your trusty paper notebook. We admit it is bigger than a sticky note: 7.5cm x 20cm, only 2cm thick, and weighs 170g — rounded up.

Plays Well With Others

Through its desktop portal, the Labacus^® transfers data smoothly to and from ChemDrawlabacus^® and Microsoft Excellabacus^® as well as other spreadsheet software. We have also integrated the Labacus^® with industry standard Electronic Lab Notebook software.

Easier, More Accurate Writeups

Tired of spending hours sitting at your desk typing up experimental measurements and observations you made in the lab? Labacus^® collects data in the lab with the touch of a stylus. Then it translates it to an English text writeup automatically and transfers writeup, reaction sketch and stoichiometry table to your desktop. You never have to retype numbers, and the notes you make in the lab can't get lost or mis-transcribed.

One-Entry Calculations

Enter the planned amount of just one reagent and Labacus^® calculates your whole stoichiometry table automatically, using volume or mass units as appropriate. Then enter the actual measured amount (mass or volume) of a chemical and Labacus^® instantly updates your stoichiometry table on the fly.

Comfortable Drawing

Just like drawing on a paper note pad, only much smarter. Draw a reaction freehand with the stylus and Labacus^® stores chemical structures, computes molecular weights and builds a stoichiometry table. Labacus^® understands element symbols and common functional groups, and allows you to define custom functional groups, too.

An End To Catalog Flipping

Are the chemical catalogs in your lab well-thumbed? With the Labacus^® you have a database of over 40,000 reagents from the Sigma-Aldrich catalog at your fingertips. You can quickly and easily find the reagent data you need, and you'll never make a mistake entering it into the calculator again.

Risk-Free

We are convinced that the Labacus^® is the best solution available to meet your calculation, note-taking and reagent search needs in the laboratory. We think you will be, too. We are constantly working to improve the Labacus^®, too, so if you don't see a particular feature you need on this page, please contact us - it may be scheduled for release soon! In any case, if you get a Labacus^® and you find that it isn't useful for you, return it to us within 30 days with an explanation and we will give you a refund.
