DECTRIS CLOUD is now DECTRIS D.LAB! New name, more powerful platform, same vision: The science platform where the lab's data, tools, compute, and analyses connect and grow in one place.

Where your science
connects and grows

DECTRIS D.LAB brings your lab's data, tools, compute, and analyses into one place.
Used by leading academic research groups
As science becomes more computational, collaborative, and complex, the challenge is no longer producing data but preserving, growing, and making knowledge durable
Connect Data
Scientific work is often scattered across instruments, drives, laptops, clusters, and cloud services. DECTRIS D.LAB brings data, tools, compute, and analysis together in a single shared environment.
One home. One overview. One source of truth.
Build Discovery
Scientific progress depends on building on previous work. DECTRIS D.LAB turns analyses into reusable scientific assets, enabling research groups to extend discoveries rather than recreate them.
The next discovery never starts from zero.
Grow Knowledge
A lab's most valuable asset is its knowledge. DECTRIS D.LAB preserves methods, decisions, analyses, and context, ensuring expertise remains accessible across projects and generations.
Knowledge grows instead of disappearing.

How DECTRIS D.LAB Works
1. Select Inputs
Pick your data and your workflow — from your group's catalogue, your past runs, or 30+ community-built tools, all preinstalled and ready to go. No install. No script translation. No environment to set up.
2. Run Anywhere
Hit go. The workflow executes inside an immutable container — same result on 2 CPUs, 8 GPUs, the campus cluster, or soon, your own server. Scale by picking a node, not by rewriting code.
3. Discover, Analyze, Share
Every run is a persistent snapshot — inputs, software, scripts, outputs, results. Analyze inline. The Principal Investigator comments where decisions are made. Share the workflow with reviewers, collaborators, or the community.
More than data, compute or workflows — we help you to create durable knowledge
Over time, the lab becomes more than a collection of projects. It becomes a living body of scientific knowledge — a place where every experiment, workflow, decision, and result contributes to what comes next. A place where science connects and grows.
what scientists are saying
“DECTRIS D.LAB helps us focus on results and insights from large-scale data. It offers much-needed functionality to reproduce, share, and work together in this upcoming era of real-time open and community-driven science.”
Sagar Khavnekar
Independent Scientist,
Subspatial
what scientists are saying
“Hosting a hands-on workshop of this scale would have been nearly impossible without the support of DECTRIS D.LAB. Providing each participant with instant access to high-performance computing resources allowed us to focus on the scientific underpinning rather than the technical setup.”
Tilman Grünewald
CNRS researcher (COMiX team),
Institut Fresnel
what scientists are saying
“DECTRIS D.LAB made it straightforward to set up and share my software environment for our particle physics simulation workflow, which I can now re-run with configurable input in just a few clicks.”
Philip Ploner
Student,
ETH Zürich
what scientists are saying
"Once we go to the beamline, we come back and process the data on the platform. The interactive support is really helpful, and I'm quite happy. I want to keep using it, definitely."
Jacopo Tessarollo
Group Leader,
Chomnan University
Four moments where the platform pays for itself
These are not edge cases — they are the days that recur in every academic lab and that determine whether a lab compounds or rebuilds.
The reviewer asks for one more cycle
Context: Same pipeline. Single parameter changed. Reviewer's deadline: 48 hours.

Outcome: Rerun the workflow with one parameter changed; environments intact and lineage preserved. Minutes, not days.
A new PhD inherits a method
Context: The originator left six months ago. Notebook lives somewhere. Pipeline lives somewhere else.

Outcome: New researcher opens the workspace, picks the predecessor's workflow, changes the sample, runs. Onboarding: hours, not weeks.
You spot a problem in your student's run
Context: You're at a conference. They're running an analysis. You see it as it unfolds.

Outcome: Comment inline at the moment of decision. The student keeps iterating; the decision gets made with you, not after.
Your group has six places where data lives
Context: Microscope drive. Group NAS. Personal laptop. Two clusters. A shared Dropbox no one trusts.

Outcome: One workspace, one home. Each system becomes a node, not a silo. Sysadmin-exit included. ELN workaround retired.
A place where today’s work becomes tomorrow’s starting point
Shared analysis space
One workspace where your group's projects, data, and analyses live together — every member sees what's running, what's done, what's next.
Community tools, preinstalled
30+ vetted analysis tools ready to run on day one — no install, no script translation, no version-conflict triage.
Live collaboration
Comment inline on any run, any iteration. Mentors guide where decisions are made; students stop guessing. The PI is back in the work.
Direct-from-detector upload
Up to 95 Gbit/s per device. The data is in the workspace before the experiment is over — no drive staging, no Dropbox relay.
Automated versioning
Every run captures data, software, workflow, and results as an immutable snapshot — versioned automatically. Roll back, fork, or rerun anything.
Built on open standards
Open formats. Standard containers. Portable workflows. Take everything with you — no proprietary blobs, no lock-in.
Science is done in teams
DECTRIS D.LAB suits rising academic groups that run experiments and conduct analyses across material and life science.
Principal Investigators
Your lab compounds across PhD generations — methods, decisions, and runs belong to the group, not to whoever walks out the door.
PhDs & PostDocs
Full control of your environment — bring any tool, run any pipeline on any compute — and leave work the next person can actually pick up.
Power Users
Build tools and workflows the community adopts and others cite — your work gets seen, attributed, and amplified.
