PRODUCT ROUND-UP
Accelrys produces Symyx Notebook, the company’s enterprise ELN, which offers a new multidimensional scientific spreadsheet for use in planning, executing and tracking a wide range of biological experiments. The scientific spreadsheet improves data access, enhances knowledge management and reduces laboratory cycle times, while the project tracking and optimisation capabilities improve collaboration and cascade management for project teams and enhance study visibility and capacity management for study directors. Integration of the new notebook
capabilities with the Accelrys Enterprise Platform supports the combined management of information, tasks and collaboration from early-phase screening and assay development through downstream drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, ADMET, bioanalytical and in vivo pharmacology.

Amphora provides PatentSafe, a quick, straightforward and cost- effective solution to the tricky problem of laboratory notebooks in today’s environment. Amphora believes that the best approach for users is to ‘get out of the way’. It eschews ill-thought out features
with chemical intelligence. It integrates chemical structure with analytical data and provides scientific algorithms to help extract chemically relevant answers from experiments. It enables knowledge
management for collaborative science. Workbooks surpass traditional data storage by retaining the chemical context of data. Spectra are stored with relevant structures, reactions,

and complex choices, instead allowing the users to be able to focus on the science. PatentSafe is particularly suited
to modern approaches to research record keeping. Along with the increasing ‘externalisation’ of research activity, with collaboration across organisational boundaries, the America Invents Act brings new concerns. The focus is no longer solely on experimental write-ups; now scientists need to ensure they can account for the knowledge that is transferred to other parties and when. This takes the burdens of ‘lab notebook’ style record keeping into the project meeting and day-to-day collaboration. PatentSafe, a light and agile
system built to support, but not dominate, scientific work, are ideally suited to meeting these new challenges.

Information Management System (LIMS), which provides the flexibility needed by LIMS users within a software framework that will satisfy IT Managers. From an IT perspective,
Matrix Gemini is an advanced software application for 32- or 64-bit platforms, designed specifically for the Windows environment and based on the Microsoft .NET framework. It continues Autoscribe’s product migration path by always ensuring compatibility with previous versions of Matrix and easy upgrades for existing customers. All maintenance releases and upgrades are provided as part of Autoscribe’s standard software support and maintenance agreement. The ‘OneTime configuration
tools’ allow Matrix Gemini to be configured without the use of custom programming or esoteric basic scripting tools. These easy- to-use configuration tools include a ‘configuration wizard’ to allow free choice of screens, workflows and menu designs, customer specific tables/modules, multiple screens for the same function (e.g. registration screens optimised for each sample category), multiple sample numbering systems and much more. With a web browser user
interface provided as standard as well as the desktop user interface, Matrix Gemini can be deployed globally via Citrix or the Web. From single user, single PC systems to multiple concurrent users connected via multiple sites,
