Elsevier MDL Releases Enhanced MDL(R) Notebook 2.0.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 Increases R&D Productivity by Providing Tight Integration With Chemical Synthesis In chemistry, chemical synthesis is purposeful execution of chemical reactions in order to get a product, or several products. This happens by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions. Applications and Data Sources SAN RAMON, Calif. -- Elsevier MDL, the market leader in discovery informatics and workflow integration for the life sciences and chemical industries, announces the release of a substantially enhanced version of 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, its state-of-the-art electronic laboratory 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 ). Built on the MDL([R]) Isentris([R]) system, MDL Notebook supports a broad range of chemistry experiments from the single-step synthesis of discrete molecules to multi-step synthesis and complex parallel chemistry experiments. "Efficient data capture and integration are increasingly critical in the research and development of new chemical entities," said Dr. Trevor Heritage, senior vice president and chief scientific officer at Elsevier MDL. "By enabling scientists to build searchable experimental repositories quickly and easily, and share information in a straightforward manner, the latest release of MDL Notebook lets scientists work smarter, not harder, in an advanced e-R&D environment. It is a major step in the development of an ELN optimized for chemistry workflows in the short term that will ultimately be suitable for biologists too." MDL Notebook integrates smoothly with the critical laboratory systems, workflow applications and content sources chemists use every day, including the MDL([R]) Available Chemicals Directory sourcing database, the MDL([R]) Logistics reagent management system, the new MDL[R] Registration system for creating corporate compound registries and the DiscoveryGate([R]) content platform. Integration with DiscoveryGate (www.discoverygate.com) enables researchers to access key data sources for investigating the synthesis and properties of target substances, including the MDL synthetic methodology and bioactivity bi·o·ac·tiv·i·ty n. The effect of a given agent, such as a vaccine, upon a living organism or on living tissue. databases, the essential Beilstein chemistry reference and valuable EH&S information from Elsevier MDL OHS. With over 25 years of experience building large, electronically searchable reaction databases and 14 years of experience developing pioneering ELNs, Elsevier MDL has built an advanced Notebook system that uses the industry-leading MDL([R]) Direct chemistry platform.

MDL Notebook builds a true reaction database from experiments, provides a powerful reaction-based enumerator e·nu·mer·ate tr.v. e·nu·mer·at·ed, e·nu·mer·at·ing, e·nu·mer·ates 1.

The enhanced user interface is as easy to use as the familiar paper notebook while offering all the advantages of electronic data capture Co including faster, more efficient searching, improved knowledge management, easier collaboration and enhanced productivity. The flexible, template-based approach to entering experimental procedures and data supports routine synthesis activities such as stoichiometry stoichiometry Determination of the proportions (by weight or number of molecules) in which elements or compounds react with one another. The rules for determining stoichiometric relationships are based on the laws of conservation (see calculations and reaction drawing (with support for MDL([R]) Draw and CambridgeSoft's ChemDraw([R]) software). Automatic protocol generation with built-in AutoText capability saves time, reduces the amount of typing required to capture data and produces standardized experimental reports that are easy to format and share with colleagues. A helpful experiment navigator function accelerates workflows by enabling researchers to quickly locate previously run or frequently used experiments. MDL Notebook is part of a growing, new generation of MDL workflow tools available to researchers today. For more information, visit www.mdl.com.
