Accelrys, Inc. develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

In April 2010, Accelrys announced it had agreed to merge with Symyx Technologies Inc.[1], completing the merger later in July of the same year.[2] Accelrys incorporated Symyx ELN into its holdings and eventually turned to Thermo Scientific to help market Symyx Notebook.[3] The name of Symyx ELN was later changed to "Accelrys ELN."[4]

In May 2011, Accelrys announced it had acquired Swedish developer Contur Software.[5] Accelrys cited the previous acquisition of Symyx and its ELN as filling a "high-end notebook" market, while the purchase of Contur and its ELN allowing Accelrys to offer an option for smaller organizations.[6] On July 19, 2011, Contur Software, allowed to work as a separate entity, announced it had changed the name of its ConturELN to iLabber "to give our customers a better and clearer overview of our offering."[7] This may lead to some confusion, because as of February 2013, Accelrys still refers to the product as "Contur ELN" on its website. (Though the company seems to recognize this, in some of its documentation (PDF) referring to the software by both names.)

In January 2012, VelQuest Corporation — and with it its SmartLab ELN — was bought by and absorbed into Accelrys, with SmartLab becoming "Accelrys Lab Execution System", a laboratory execution system.[8][9][10]

Technology and products

Pipeline Pilot, Accelrys ELN, Accelrys LES, and Contur ELN/iLabber

Pipeline Pilot is an informatics platform that "address[es] the modeling and simulation, informatics and scientific businesses intelligence needs of research and development organizations."[11]

Accelrys ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook "that is uniquely configurable to be used across multiple scientific disciplines — from discovery through manufacturing."[12]

Accelrys LES is a laboratory execution system that "delivers transformational productivity for QA/QC labs supporting common workflows such as material testing for recipes, stability testing, product release testing and post-release quality testing."[13]

Contur ELN/iLabber is a "user-friendly and flexible ELN system addressing the needs of [the] small and mid-size R&D organization."[14][15]

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.
