Labguru allows you to view and, in some cases, edit certain file types, such as Microsoft Office files, PDFs and images that are attached to your experiments.
Viewing and editing attached files
You can display the content of supported attachments directly inside an experiment section using the Add to page option.
To do this, hover over the attachment box and select Add to page.
Once added, the file’s content is presented inside the experiment, depending on the file type:
Excel
Adding an Excel file creates a spreadsheet element within the experiment section and imports all of the file’s content.
This allows you to view the data directly on the experiment page and perform basic edits. Any changes made in the spreadsheet automatically update the original attachment.
The spreadsheet element can also be exported as a .csv (Excel-compatible) file, which will be attached below the section.
PowerPoint
PowerPoint files are automatically converted to PDF format and displayed using Labguru’s in-app PDF viewer.
Image files
Images uploaded as attachments can be displayed directly within the experiment section using the Add to page option.
PDF files
PDF files can either be embedded directly in an experiment section using Add to page or opened in a separate window using Labguru’s in-app PDF viewer.
PDB (Protein Data Bank)
PDB files can be attached to an experiment section and previewed directly in Labguru using the built-in 3D structure viewer, enabling visual inspection of protein or molecular structures without downloading the file.
