Biopharmaceuticals organization Octapharma GmbH has chosen E-WorkBook 10 from IDBS, the company said.
The web-based electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) will be rolled out in Germany early this year to replace paper-based research and development (R&D) and protect valuable IP.
Users will be able to search for information in real time and follow a specific researcher or experiment as part of the application, to boost collaboration and productivity.
E-WorkBook 10 will service the breadth of expertise across Octapharma´s German labs, including High Throughput Screening (HTS), fermentation, analytics and formulations. Increasingly, it will also help the organization to collect and secure data from its biotech partnerships. The transition from legacy technology and Excel is already underway, supported by IDBS´ Munich team on the ground.
The web-based deployment of E-WorkBook 10 delivers Octapharma a small IT footprint throughout the organization – compared to an on-premise solution – and a mobile approach to R&D. Scientists can access data from anywhere in the world with just a connection to the internet and their internal system.
