IGOR review
A focused ELN with compliance workflows, templates, and inventory tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
IGOR is a cloud-based electronic lab notebook and laboratory information management system for research teams in biotech, pharma, academia, and AgTech. It brings experiment records, SOPs, data files, templates, inventory, sample relationships, permissions, audit trails, digital signatures, and approvals into customizable team workspaces. Full-text and metadata search, PDF exports, and a companion mobile app for image capture and document scanning support everyday documentation workflows.
Pricing is organized into three annual-billing tiers. Academia costs $30 per user per month and includes 100 GB of storage per user, experiment templates, data file management, audit trails, version control, and the companion mobile app. Professional costs $80 per user per month and adds 200 GB of storage per user, SOP management, detailed audit trails, document versioning, and digital signature workflows. Momentum costs $100 per user per month and adds inventory management, customizable inventory repositories, sample relationship and lineage tracking, custom storage locations, and storage location maps.
The strongest fit is a team that needs more than free-form experiment notes: IGOR connects records with controlled documentation, review, witnessing, approvals, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant digital signatures. Momentum is particularly suited to teams that need inventory and sample lineage alongside notebook entries. Teams seeking a no-cost option, flexible month-to-month pricing, or a broader platform beyond web-based workflows may prefer an alternative. IGOR is most compelling when traceability, structured records, and paid compliance-oriented features matter more than a free entry tier.
