Scientific informatics software and services company Accelrys, Inc., US, has announced new workflow orchestration and analysis capabilities that seek to improve project, study, experiment and sample management for scientists. As key enhancements within Accelrys' Enterprise Lab Management software portfolio, the new Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) capabilities reportedly continue the process of transforming the scientific laboratory from a collection of point solutions to an integrated, convergent electronic lab.
Now, for the first time without leaving their ELN, analytical, process and formulation scientists can route materials and requests for characterisation between different laboratories, disciplines and external partners, according to Accelrys. Scientists can keep track of where materials are and what characterisations need to be performed; ultimately, they can analyse all the information known about a material, sample or experiment to generate actionable insights and knowledge in a collaborative electronic lab environment.
The latest Work Request extension to Symyx Notebook by Accelrys removes the need for scientists to coordinate task and sample requests manually using multiple document and workflow management applications, which often leads to miscommunication and workflow delays. By enabling scientists to manage, track and share requests in real time from within their notebooks, the new Work Request capabilities are said to help project teams collaborate more efficiently in processing and sharing tasks, samples and results.
New ELN analysis capabilities resulting from integration of Pipeline Pilot analytics enable scientists to analyse structured and unstructured information across multiple experiments without leaving their notebooks. Scientists can now quickly compare and contrast knowledge from their own experiments and those of their colleagues, using flexible notebook dashboards to make better decisions based on the most complete and up-to-date information.
