During execution, the backend also creates a detailed log file with time stamps and additional information on the (low-level) tasks that are currently executed and offers the possibility to automatically upload the experimental steps, protocols, executed Python scripts and characterization data including all metadata to an electronic lab notebook (ELN). Here, we used OpenBIS , an open-source ELN-LIMS software with a Python API. An exemplary log file for the synthesis of MSN particles (3 batches synthesized in parallel) as well as a screen shot of the automatically generated ELN entries for the synthesis and in line characterization with DLS can be found in the supplementary information, Figure .
