Accelrys, Inc., a US-based provider of scientific innovation lifecycle management software, has announced that Gartner, Inc. has rated the company's electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN) as 'very high' or 'high' in each scientific and functional domain in a recent report on considerations for selecting an ELN. Accelrys was the only vendor with ELNs that achieved those ratings in all categories.
The report, published January 11, 2013, and titled 'Manufacturers Must Consider Scientific Domain Expertise During ELN Selection,' is based on insights collected by Gartner throughout hundreds of interviews, briefings and interactions with various clients. The Accelrys ELN secured a 'very high' rating in chemistry, meaning the product is close to becoming a de facto standard in that category, as well as 'high' ratings in biology, formulation, engineering, regulated environments and translational medicine. The Accelrys Laboratory Execution System was rated 'very high' in regulated environments and 'high' in formulation, while the Contur ELN rated 'high' in chemistry.
