Sciformation Consulting GmbH develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

The company was founded on March 29, 2011[1] by Felix Rudolphi, the developer of open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) open enventory (OE).[2] OE became the template for Sciformation's commercial offering Sciformation ELN. Rudolphi described it as such:

To overcome the intrinsic limitations of OE, we wanted to develop a new software system together with the renowned Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung. OE's data design and many good features served as blueprint for the new development, which we called Sciformation ELN (SE). We wanted to design a clean basis while being able to quickly make adjustments not foreseeable at the project start, in close collaboration with the users. We wanted to offer an extended functionality and — more important — flexibility to quickly add form templates for new types of experiments, without any changes to the core software components.[2]

Technology and products

Sciformation ELN and VectorMol

Sciformation ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook originally based off the free, open-source ELN open enventory. The company states that compared to open enventory, Sciformation ELN offers "a faster and even more convenient reaction setup, a precise yet user-friendly permission management, a significantly faster substructure search, a very flexible form system, and a much broader applicability, beyond just chemistry."[3] It also includes a few features typical to a LIMS, primarily order requesting.[4] (See open enventory for more on that open-source software.)

VectorMol is an included module of the ELN "which enables you to draw molecules within most web browsers (Internet Explorer 8 or above, current versions of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Opera) without noticeable loading time or local installation."[5]
