Create memorable and instructive experiences as your students as realize the potential applications of a wide range of biological functions and techniques. Engage them with space travel, sports, animals, aliens, new species and more! These simulations combine guided and independent instruction with practical experience and beautiful 3D visuals to make learning about even the most challenging biological concepts a breeze.

Travel the planet Earth, teleport to Mars and explore the newly-discovered exoplanet to experience a broad range of flora, fauna and fields of research. Save lives with ground-breaking drugs or save the environment with sustainable biofuel production, all in the safety of their classroom.

The Labster Advantage

Allowing online students to engage completely with the science curriculum, Labster’s virtual lab simulation provides an accessible, user-friendly experience. Encouraging independent thought, boosting confidence and sparking ideas, our 3D labs give students the chance to design experiments, grasp complex concepts and enjoy learning.

Improves student retention and outcomes

Unlimited access to instrumentation

Convenient laboratory access

Integrates with your LMS

Easy tracking of progress & feedback

Fun and engaging 3D animations

Suitable for course re-designs

Dedicated customer support

Aligns with core science curriculum

01. Observe biological processes in action with our visual aids

Explain complex concepts while a range of 3D graphics, animated representations of experiments at the molecular level help make the learning memorable for your students.

02. Let students revisit prior knowledge and get up-to-date before a course

Use a Labster simulation as a prerequisite for the class to save time and resources. Students will revise their learning and feel confident to add new learning.

03. Begin with a virtual lab experiment to root out any issues with competency

Allow your students to complete a virtual lab experiment to build their familiarity with procedures, safety protocols and fix any mistakes quickly at no extra cost.

04. Let students experiment freely in a virtual lab

Not every institution can have a lab available 24/7 to every student, but Labster's simulations are fully accessible. Save cost and time teaching lab protocols and buying, fixing and replacing equipment and supplies.

05. Complete learning remotely with Labster quizzes, assessment opportunities and record keeping

Your teaching online will facilitate great results with individual coaching opportunities and individualised support.

06. A virtual lab is the ideal follow-up to time spent in a real world laboratory

It allows students to assimilate the lessons learned, building understanding and confidence, resulting in positive results during assessments.

Take a look at the Educational Whitepaper for Virtual Laboratories in Science

Our whitepaper recognizes that there is a rapidly growing requirement for change within science education. We look at both sides of the virtual lab debate – the beneficial opportunities of the virtual lab as an aid to teaching, and the skepticism surrounding its employment. Examining published research alongside independent first-hand case studies from users of virtual labs, the whitepaper explains:

The five challenges currently being faced by science education
The mistrust surrounding virtual labs as a teaching tool
The effectiveness of virtual labs according to the research
How do virtual labs improve the learning/teaching experience?

"The majority of students perceived that the simulations improved their learning of DNA-based technologies, students were motivated to complete the simulation and felt more confident at the end.”

Dr. Bina Rai Singapore University of Technology & Design

"One way to make science more attractive is to make it real. And for me, one thing that Labster does really well is to make it real and fun. Labster brings both humor and relevance, as well as real life context to science education.”

Dr. Ana Barral National University, California

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget

"Simulations present concepts in a more intuitive and less abstract way by providing a dynamic representation of chemical reactions or mechanisms at a molecular level.”

Dr. Sabine Matallana-Surget Stirling University, Scotland
