Amphora Research Systems, Inc. develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions, including the modular ELN solution OpenELN.

History

Amphora has its origins in Amphora Research Systems Ltd., created as a subsidiary of New Information Paradigms Ltd. in October 2001 to market a Lotus Notes-based electronic laboratory notebook.[1] Recognizing a need for a more robust ELN built on next-generation industry technologies, the subsidiary split off in 2003 and became the independent entity Amphora Research Systems, Inc.[1] In 2007, the business earned the Market Penetration Leadership Award during Frost & Sullivan's Excellence in Healthcare Awards Banquet.[2]

Technology and products

OpenELN and PatentSafe

OpenELN is "an open, modular ELN solution which allows customers to pick & choose which parts they need."[3]

PatentSafe is an ELN designed to allow researchers to more securely "create evidence which can be used in the defense of patents."[4] The software comes in three editions: Personal, Starter Pack, and Enterprise. The software can be utilized via the SaaS distribution model, or it can be self-hosted.

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.
