Symyx Technologies Inc. has announced a web seminar for scientists, lab managers and IT personnel supporting scientific informatics that describes and demonstrates the benefits of new subscription-based ELN hosting service.

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) are proven to drive consistent processes, improve productivity, protect intellectual property and satisfy regulatory compliance. The opportunity for organisations to access a new subscription-based ELN hosting service that supports collaboration across research teams, reduces ELN cost of ownership, and removes the infrastructure needed to install and maintain an ELN.

The complimentary 45-minute web seminar on December 8th 2009 has been designed to instruct participants how to easily record, find, report, reuse and share experiments using an ELN-without the hassles of managing the hardware, software, licenses, and backups on-site.

Participants will learn how an electronic lab notebook improves individual and team productivity; how a hosted ELN reduces start-up time, minimises costs and streamlines processes and how security issues are addressed in a hosted system.
