Dotmatics Limited develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

In June 2020, the company acquired BioBright, LLC, a lab data automation company "automating the flow of data from laboratory instruments to a secure cloud."^[1]

In September 2020, the company announced the release of eln.online, a "quick start version" of its Studies Notebook electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) "designed specifically to meet the needs of research organizations at an early stage in their development."^[2]

Former technology

One-Click Chemistry ELN was "a pre-configured version of the Dotmatics’ flagship software solution: Studies Notebook."^[3] The software is offered under the SaaS distribution model.

In September 2020, a "quick start version" of Studies Notebook for new labs—known as eln.online—was announced.^[2] Dotmatics described the ELN as "a simple hosted edition design to allow small research teams to jump-start their discovery journey," suitable for 10 or few users and running as a multi-tenant SaaS instance type.^[4] Sometime in late 2022 or 2023, the company removed references to eln.online on its websites, and the solution is presumably discontinued.

Technology and products

Studies Notebook

Studies Notebook is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that allows you to "simplify scientific discovery."^[5] The software can be hosted on-site or in the cloud.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
