A single, enterprise electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that helps scientists quickly and easily record, find, report, and reuse experiments—and share information with colleagues
Symyx Notebook is uniquely designed to be used out-of-the-box across multiple scientific disciplines including analytical chemistry, synthesis, and biology, from discovery through manufacturing.
Symyx Notebook is the result of close collaboration with several large pharmaceutical companies and broad experience with discipline-specific notebooks in large, multi-site deployments.
Key benefits
- Enhance workflow productivity
- Consolidate experimental data
- Improve collaboration
- Minimize data errors
- Simplify regulatory compliance
- Implement consistent processes across organizations
- Protect intellectual property (IP)
Search within and across experiments
Full text and index searching, including searchable image annotations, enable scientists to rapidly locate (and quickly repeat or learn from) previous experiments.

A single notebook for regulated and non-regulated environments improves productivity, knowledge sharing, data quality, and process harmonization.
- Highly configurable templates provide structure to pre-define data inputs and signing requirements—and flexibility for run-time inclusion of new tests
- Pre-defined data inputs and integration with other laboratory systems improve data consistency and minimize errors
- A centralized, secure Oracle data repository enables scientists to compare results and leverage others’ knowledge to make better, faster decisions
- Workflows speed reviews and routing of documents for approval
- Flexible, easily formatted tables enable scientists to quickly input data using manual data entry, auto-fill data population, or data transfer from integrated hardware
- Flexible sections, templates, workflows, user roles, and security minimizes IT support and the need for customizations
Ensure regulatory compliance, data security, and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs):
