Biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical research organisations have new tools from CambridgeSoft to deal with the vast data streams generated by new chemical research and discovery technologies
Applications to store, organize, and analyze research data are based on CambridgeSoft's ChemOffice WebServer, a web-based scientific application development and deployment system that works with standard internet communication protocols, leading storage systems such as Oracle Cartridge and SQL Server, and other enterprise information systems.
Registration System is a customizable application that assigns corporate registration numbers for substances based on each organization's business rules.
It includes duplicate checks with stereochemistry, salt/batch/lot management, data validation, and security.
All data structures are accessible for customization using an application programmer's interface.
Formulations and Mixtures extends the capabilities of Registration System to more general chemical products.
Its tree-like graphical interface displays components of a mixture, or shows all mixtures containing a given component.
The system is fully structure-searchable.
CombiChem Enterprise facilitates collaborative work on the specification, enumeration, and management of combinatorial chemical libraries.
The software also handles plating of samples for automated high-throughput screening systems.
Inventory Manager is an enterprise-scalable solution that works with the Registration System and the ChemACX database for complete management of chemical inventories.
It permits storage hierarchies (such as containers inside refrigerators within rooms) and variable granularity (e.g, one lab may track samples at the well plate level while another tracks only bottles of reagents).
The Research and Discovery applications complement CambridgeSoft's other major research information applications.
Knowledge Management includes the E-Notebook Enterprise, Document Manager, Discovery Lims, and 21CFR11 Compliance applications to organize the records and documents of a research organization.
Applied Bioinformatics applications BioAssay HTS and BioSAR Browser allow scientists to set up models, visualize results, create structure-activity relationships, and search by structure.
Chemical Databases provide reference information about chemical availability, properties, and reactions.
They include CambridgeSoft's licensed electronic implementations of the well-known Merck Index and Organic Syntheses.
The ChemACX database lists commercially available chemicals from 300 suppliers, while ChemIndex provides property information for thousands of common chemicals.
