IDBS, provider of data management, analysis and decision support software, today announces the release of E-WorkBook Suite 7.1. E-WorkBook is a compliant, secure and extensible electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) designed for research scientists of any discipline.

Adopted by 200 additional users in over ten research organizations since the previous version 7.0 was released in May 2007, IDBS’ E-WorkBook Suite has a diverse customer base now estimated at over 3,500 users globally.
Comprised of E-WorkBook, BioBook and ChemBook, E-WorkBook Suite allows greater productivity for research scientists by automating data capture and storage. E-WorkBook Suite supports the capture of corporate data, information and knowledge in one secure infrastructure, promoting regulatory compliance and increasing organizational efficiency.

Combined with specific functionality requested by current users, E-WorkBook Suite 7.1 offers greater search flexibility and enhanced graphing and charting within the BioBook module. Furthermore, additional integration points and web services included in version 7.1 allow organizations to automate the exchange of any data both to and from other systems. In addition, E-WorkBook Suite 7.1 now allows digital signatures to be applied to PDFs and provides associated taskflow support for this process, thereby extending its industry-standard IP protection.

Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS, commented, “IDBS is more than just an ELN provider. Our expertise in data management and our partnership approach to our customers have made E-WorkBook the first ELN that can be applied as a generic data management framework while also providing discipline-specific support, enabling scientists to extract maximum value from their data.” He added, “This latest release reflects our continued commitment to our customers. The standard solution that IDBS delivers exceeds the expectations and requirements expressed by the industry, further consolidating our position as the leading biology ELN provider.”

IDBS

E-WorkBook is driving the revolution in laboratory notebooks and experimental data. The ability to share, search and query experimental data in real time, control access and issue task requests to other team members, allows E-WorkBook™ to offer an organization the opportunity to drive the research process with improved efficiency and enhanced security. Life science organizations invest considerable time and money on protecting IP. Providing a fully searchable repository of electronically-signed knowledge that an organization’s legal department can rapidly access enables faster and more efficient IP protection and exploitation. Drawing on unrivalled ‘real world’ experience of both R&D science and discovery data management, E-WorkBook captures corporate knowledge in a searchable, traceable electronic repository that is validated against 21 CFR part 11 and compilant ready. E-WorkBook provides: • A single research data portal • An easy to use, secure environment that accepts data input from any source • Access to data and knowledge across an organization, irrespective of location • An efficient experiment report-writing tool • A powerful and versatile search engine • Painless implementation of SOP, QA and QC procedures

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Electronic Laboratory NotebooksElectronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) are becoming increasingly popular for documenting experimental processes and for lab data management. An ELN is informatics software which can be biology specific, chemistry specific, cross-disciplinary or web-based. Advantages of an electronic lab notebook include increased data protection, efficiency and straightforward data searching and sharing.
