Metal, wood, and paper products; chemicals; leather goods; foods and beverages; medical equipment; lighting fixtures; and , Calif. -- Major Ongoing Initiative Delivers Electronic Lab Notebook An electronic lab notebook (also known as Electronic Laboratory Notebook, or ELN) is a software program designed to replace paper laboratory notebooks. Lab notebooks in general are used by scientists and technicians to document research, experiments and procedures performed in a  For Simplifying R&D Tasks, Integrating Workflow and Translating Scientists' Data into Corporate-Wide Asset

Elsevier MDL has delivered ahead of schedule the initial release of a major electronic lab notebook (ELN Noun 1. ELN - a Marxist terrorist group formed in 1963 by Colombian intellectuals who were inspired by the Cuban Revolution; responsible for a campaign of mass kidnappings and resistance to the government's efforts to stop the drug trade; "ELN kidnappers target ) initiative announced in March 2005. MDL MDL - (Originally "Muddle"). C. Reeve, Carl Hewitt and Gerald Sussman, Dynamic Modeling Group, MIT ca. 1971. Intended as a successor to Lisp, and a possible base for Planner-70. Basically LISP 1.5 with data types and arrays. (R) Notebook gives scientists a central hub to simplify their work, capture data, document processes and make essential information available throughout a research organization. Additional releases planned for 2006 and beyond will expand capabilities for scientific disciplines, building on MDL informatics and integration strengths to deliver comprehensive workflow solutions for researchers.

Elsevier MDL, the leading informatics, database and workflow solution provider for life sciences R&D, has ten years of experience building custom ELNs for global pharmaceutical companies. MDL Notebook and the ELN initiative draw from the company's unequaled experience in integrating workflows and providing access to contextually relevant information, backed by state-of-the-art cheminformatics technology and globally scalable solutions.

"Scientists -- particularly chemists -- traditionally fill paper notebooks with vital information that is very difficult to effectively capture and disseminate," said Trevor Heritage, Senior Vice President, Workflow Business Group, Elsevier MDL. "MDL Notebook brings systematic efficiency to fundamental research activity by streamlining workflows, improving productivity and integrating information throughout R&D organizations. Elsevier MDL's expertise in reaction databases and experience with custom electronic notebooks contribute to a comprehensive system that is unrivaled in integration capabilities, chemistry know-how and IT performance."

MDL Notebook provides scientists with a hub for total workflow integration. From the MDL Notebook, scientists can store experiment protocols, share hypotheses with colleagues and legally document discoveries. The system streamlines workflows, automates repetitive tasks and allows scientists to easily create reports and collaborate. They can search corporate, third-party and in-house databases and perform reaction transformation searches, to immediately access relevant information in useful context.

Elsevier MDL market leadership in chemistry representation and reaction databases powers unique benefits in MDL Notebook. Synthetic chemists can utilize tools for single and multi-step reactions and discrete and parallel synthesis and reaction information is captured in a true reaction database that supports reaction substructure substructure /sub·struc·ture/ (-struk-chur) the underlying or supporting portion of an organ or appliance; that portion of an implant denture embedded in the tissues of the jaw.

The convenience that MDL Notebook provides scientists translates into significant organizational benefits. By saving time, reducing costs, enhancing collaboration and helping researchers focus on science, MDL Notebook offers systematic efficiency to fundamental R&D activities.
