Cranes Software announced that its subsidiary Systat Software, Inc., (SSI) has entered into an agreement with Rescentris, Inc. of Columbus, OH, to globally offer their joint product, SigmaCERF - an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and knowledge management platform for life science research organizations.
CERF, Collaborative Electronic Research Framework, is a unique ELN solution designed specifically for scientists and R&D organizations. SigmaCERF unifies management of lab data and electronic record-keeping. Projects, documents, data, and notebooks are managed centrally on a secure server but can be created and utilized from anywhere on the Internet. Industry experts predict the market for ELN to be one of the fastest technology growth areas as biotech organizations strive for maximum efficiency and safe access to IP records. To serve life sciences organizations, SigmaCERF is cross-platform, highly scalable, and 21CFR11-compliant.
“Lab notebooks are used by scientists and technicians to document research, protocols, experimental data and outcomes. The move from paper-based notebooks to electronic formats is very real with one-third of all biopharmaceutical organizations having at least one system installed today. We are excited to partner with a technology leader like Rescentris who has the vision and experience to develop an ELN solution that works the way biologists work – with additional modules for other scientific disciplines. Our SigmaPlot, SigmaStat and SYSTAT customers can now source tools that cater to different aspects of their research process from one single reliable source.” states Dr. Leland Wilkinson CTO, SSI.
The award-winning CERF technology brings flexibility, collaboration, and security to major research organizations and boosts R&D performance through a variety of unique capabilities. CERF utilizes semantic web technologies to enable extensibility and integration of the numerous data sources and applications used by life scientists. More than replacing paper, CERF organizes daily research activities for the scientist and the team – users access their data, tools and workflow and never leave the scientific desktop of CERF. The SigmaCERF platform further enables the delivery of the rich data analysis and publishing components provided by Systat.
