What are the advantages of using an ELN?
Symyx Notebook by Accelrys is more than just a replacement for paper lab notebooks. The ELN helps organizations:
- Enhance personal and team productivity
- Consolidate experimental data
- Minimize data errors
- Protect intellectual property (IP)
- Streamline regulatory compliance
- Implement consistent processes across organizations
- Improve collaboration across multiple scientific disciplines—from research to final product
The ELN has enabled organizations to:
- Aggregate data, experience, and context to fuel insights and gain predictive control over key processes - Pfizer
- Facilitate collaboration between medicinal, analytical, and process chemists and with outsourced partners - Elan
- Eliminate paper-based workflows in validated environments and save 50% on documentation time - AstraZeneca
- Shave 25% off time spent documenting experiments. Save thousands of dollars per year - Kalexsyn
- Leverage prior work by cloning 50% of experiments. Improve the quality and utility of IP - Millennium
- Implement "green chemistry" processes to reduce waste - Eli Lilly
