Chemotion ELN is an open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) "for researchers working in the field of chemical sciences."[2] The project has been funded since 2015 by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft or DFG).[3]
Product history
The Chemotion ELN project was initiated to replace a basic ELN (dial-a-device project) programmed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology by Dominic Lütjohann from 2012 through 2014.[4][5] Chemotion's code base is being developed by members of the Stefan Bräse group (ComPlat) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)[5] and NinjaConcept GmbH (Karlsruhe).[2] In June 2015, Florian Hübsch of NinjaConcept uploaded the first initial commits to the Chemotion ELN project on GitHub.[6]
An initial 0.1.0 release was uploaded to GitHub on May 31, 2016, followed by a 0.2.0 release in October.[1] A journal article concerning the system was published in September 2017[2]. Updates to the code appear to be ongoing, with a 0.3.0 update arriving in mid-November 2017, including an update to the reporting UI and the sample/reaction UI.[1]
Features
Features of Chemotion ELN include[2]:
- processing of molecules and reactions
- sample and reaction tracking
- barcode support
- chemical drawing tools
- project and experiment planning
- query tools
- data sharing tools
- data import and export (Excel and sd)
Hardware/software requirements
Docker and docker-compose are used for the easiest installation, though Chemotion ELN can be installed (though more complicated) without Docker. Consult the documentation (PDF) included with the developer's journal article.
