Chemotion ELN is an open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) "or researchers working in the field of chemical sciences."[2]
Product history
Chemotion ELN seems to have originated in some form as a coding project by Florian Hübsch of NinjaConcept GmbH.[2] In June 2015, Hübsch provided the first initial commits to the Chemotion ELN project on GitHub.[3] With the help of additional programmers and support from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, an initial 0.1.0 release was uploaded to GitHub on May 31, 2016, followed by a 0.2.0 release in October.[1] A journal article concerning the system was published in September 2017[2], and updates to the code appear to be ongoing.
Features
Features of Chemotion ELN include[2]:
- processing of molecules and reactions
- sample and reaction tracking
- barcode support
- chemical drawing tools
- project and experiment planning
- query tools
- data sharing tools
- data import and export (Excel and sd)
Hardware/software requirements
Docker and docker-compose are used for the easiest installation, though Chemotion ELN can be installed (though more complicated) without Docker. Consult the documentation (PDF) included with the developer's journal article.
