Abstract
LabRulez portals [1] are a unique global concept focused on quick, simple and effective access to information, especially in the field of analytical chemistry. State-of-the-art IT technologies thus enable visitors to search, filter, and find information in one place, which would otherwise be time-consuming and sometimes impossible to find.
Information from GC×GC and 2DLC area are heavily represented mainly on the LabRuleuGCMS and LabRulezLCMS [2] portals, providing visitors with an unique source of news, applications, instrumentation and consumables overview and e.g. expert webinars or career section focused on analytical chemistry jobs. Together we will see how to work with and search this information.
Stop looking and start finding. Fast, efficient and in one place. Anyone can create a profile on the LabRulez analytical portals in ENG language. Whether you are an individual, a research group, a university or a company. Build your brand and share information in the community of (not only) analytical chemists.

Introduction
In a presentation at the MDCW conference, Ivo Novotný, CEO of LabRulez, introduced a global digital platform revolutionizing how scientists access and share analytical chemistry information. Designed to support researchers, universities, manufacturers, and laboratories, the LabRulez portals bring together content from across the scientific community in one centralized, searchable space.
What Is LabRulez?
LabRulez is a network of specialized portals that enables fast, targeted access to scientific information in analytical chemistry. The platforms integrate the latest web technologies to help users search, filter, and access data that would otherwise be difficult—or impossible—to find efficiently.
Core mission:
Help analytical chemists find the right information quickly, and help institutions share their knowledge with the world.
Reach and Impact
- Over 20 million Google search impressions annually
- 1+ million documents opened from the library
- Nearly 1 million page views yearly
- Extensive reach across social networks and scientific communities
The LabRulez Portal Ecosystem
There are currently three main LabRulez portals:
- LabRulez GCMS – Focused on gas-phase analytical techniques
- LabRulez LCMS – Covers liquid-phase chromatography and mass spectrometry
