Arxspan ELN

Arxspan ELN is a cloud-based Electronic Laboratory Notebook developed by SciY, designed to centralize experiment capture and data management for chemistry and biology research teams. It provides a unified, secure, and searchable workspace where scientists can document protocols, results, and files without requiring any local software installation. The platform targets organizations across biopharmaceuticals, research, and development environments, including those operating under regulatory oversight, and supports both internal teams and external collaborators such as contract research organizations (CROs).

Deployment is handled entirely through the Arxspan Cloud, making the system accessible from any web browser. There are no application servers or databases for customers to install or maintain, and all software updates are included automatically. A 30-day trial is available for academic users and a 14-day trial for industrial users, with automated provisioning that delivers login credentials shortly after form submission.

Experiment Management and Workflow Support

• Supports chemistry and biology workflows within a single integrated platform, with built-in chemical intelligence for both disciplines.
• Provides reusable templates for common experiments and protocols to standardize data capture across teams.
• Allows direct attachment and editing of Microsoft Office documents, image files, and analytical data files within experiment entries.
• Offers keyword search, advanced criteria search, and chemical structure search capabilities, including exact and substructure searches.
• Supports multiple reactions handled within a single collaborative experiment.
• Integrates with an AI-powered synthetic pathway tool developed by Allchemy for chemistry research workflows.

Regulatory Compliance and Data Integrity

• Built to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and SAFE BioPharma standards.
• Includes full audit trails, user activity logs, electronic signing, and witnessing workflows.
• Supports system validation and version tracking for regulated research environments.
• Access controls and configurable permission hierarchies help maintain data integrity and traceability.
• Designed to support audit readiness and minimize regulatory risk during inspections.

Collaboration and Data Sharing

• Provides view and write sharing capabilities at both the notebook and project level.
• Supports configurable user role and permission hierarchies for managing internal team access.
• Enables isolated CRO data access and input management, allowing external partners to contribute data without compromising internal data boundaries.
• Cloud-based accessibility means scientists across multiple global sites can work within the same system simultaneously.

Enterprise Integration and Scalability

• Fully integrates with ChemDoodle® and is compatible with ChemDraw® for chemical structure drawing and management.
• Supports single sign-on (SSO) and enterprise authentication methods.
• Offers API capabilities for integration with other scientific tools and existing research workflows.
• Scalable cloud infrastructure is designed to accommodate global R&D organizations of varying sizes.
• Individual Arxspan modules — including ELN, Registration, and Inventory — can be purchased separately and configured on a per-user basis.
• Legacy data from other systems can be migrated into Arxspan and searched alongside native data.

Infrastructure and Security

• Hosted in a secure, audited data facility with established security procedures.
• Regular client data backups and disaster recovery provisions are included.
• Eliminates the need for customer-side server or database purchases, reducing hardware costs and IT overhead.
• Software is always kept current through automatic updates included with the subscription.

Related Modules and Ecosystem

• Arxspan ELN can be paired with the Arxspan Registration module, which organizes chemical and biological material and compound data to support informed scientific decisions.
• The Arxspan Inventory module tracks the status of biological and chemical inventory items across single or multiple sites and can be integrated with the ELN to eliminate data silos from experiment through to registered entity storage.

Arxspan ELN is suited to organizations seeking a compliant, rapidly deployable, and discipline-agnostic laboratory notebook that connects experiment data with downstream registration and inventory workflows, while supporting both regulated and non-regulated research environments.
