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]

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.
