Indigo ELN is an open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that "allows scientists to prepare, plan, and analyze experiments, access relevant information, and develop new methods in the areas of synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and process chemistry."[2]
Product history
According to the original developer GGA Software Services, the Indigo ELN is based off of pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc.'s internal chemistry electronic lab notebook "CeN." The software was developed within Pfizer via a license to GGA of the software code, with the objective "to create and deliver an external, open-source version of CeN Chemistry Electronic Lab Notebook."[3] GGA stated the license allowed them to create and use derivative works of CeN as well as share it and support it with the open-source community.[3]
In July 2011, GGA Software was contributing ELN query service definitions to the not-for-profit Pistoia Alliance, which strives to lower the barriers to research and development innovation. The end goal for those ELN definitions was to create "a uniform industry standard by which scientists can acquire and consolidate experimental, analytical, and structural data from different ELN sources."[4] At some point GGA Software was approached by Pfizer to begin applying similar ELN expertise to its CeN software, with the goal of making it open-source. GGA had also already been developing its own "Indigo" organic chemistry toolkit for internal use (which eventually went open-source)[5], and the company presumably used that toolkit during its work on Indigo ELN.
Version 1.0 of Indigo ELN was eventually released to the public on September 26, 2012.[1] Version 1.1 of the software arrived on February 5, 2013, adding integration with the open-source chemical structure editor Ketcher.[6]
On June 6, 2014, software developer EPAM Systems, Inc. announced it had acquired GGA Software Services, LLC and with it Indigo ELN.[7] Indigo remained open-source; however, EPAM chose to require the submission of personal information in order to download the software.
Indigo skipped to version 1.1.3 in December 2014, which extended database support and received an updated JBOSS 7.1.1 application server.[6]
