Mbook Chemistry
Attributes
DescriptionMbook Chemistry is a web-based, cloud-hosted -an in-house option is also available- ELN solution. It is ideally suited for synthetic chemists with its reaction scheme and automatically generated & customizable stoichiometric table. Mbook is designed to accommodate users of distinct hierarchical profiles (from bench chemist to group manager) with associated permission (from read only to full project and team management). Mbook allows the creation of working teams and projects within which the level of access can be restricted. Mbook Chemistry also includes features such as supervisor-based experiment approval and experiment transfer and witnessing.
Mbook Chemistry comes with Mbook Photo, a free App for tablets and mobile devices, making it easy for chemists to take snapshots in the lab and upload them effortlessly to their experiments.
In its Pro version, Mbook Chemistry also includes functionalities such as COSHH assessment forms, inventory and stockroom tools for a convenient live management of your reagents and tracking/reporting of special compounds (eg: CMR) usage.
