RURO Introduces Sciency Electronic Lab Notebook 3.0

Revolutionizing how researchers organize, capture, share and preserve research data.

Frederick, MD – December 21, 2011 – RURO, Inc., a leading innovator of research productivity and management solutions, today announced the availability of Sciency Electronic Lab Notebook (Sciency ELN) 3.0 in both Standard and Enterprise editions. More than just “going paperless,” Sciency ELN provides a scalable, integrated and secure environment for researchers to capture, manage and share their work.

“Sciency [ELN] empowers labs to establish standards for documenting research and makes easier the organizing and retention of information,” says Tom Dolan of RURO, Inc. “In many labs today, changes, such as in research personnel, can lead to losses of intellectual property. Sciency [ELN] helps to negate that potential and, in the process, provides tools to increase overall user productivity.”

Sciency ELN is a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant alternative to paper-based lab notebooks and casually organized electronic documents and spreadsheets.

New features in Sciency ELN 3.0 include:

• New look and feel, designed to give iPad and other mobile device users the same experience as desktop
• Revised Explorer feature
• Cross-linking of images and files between Projects
• Additional Notes views
• Double electronic signatures
• Support for external storage mounts (FTP, SSH, SMB)
• Improved user interface

Frederick, MD August 11, 2010–RURO, Inc., a leading developer of ground-breaking lifesciences research software productivity tools, announces the release of Sciency 2.0, a new version of the innovative Sciency product line. This Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) is the best way to collect and organize research data, share information and increase efficiency. The 2.0 release adds many new features to the Sciency ELN such as customizable templates for quick data capture, versions for notebook entries with full revision history, links within the notebooks connecting entries to each other, ability to quickly search notes, easily printable for hard copy documentation, a new GLP mode, and many other improvements! Sciency 2.0 can be simply integrated with other lab instruments and software.

A laboratory manager from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) commented on Sciency stating she “found the technology to be a critical tool in the continuation of our research. Previously, when a researcher left we would find out that we had a year’s worth of meaningless instrument data and poorly documented paper notebooks; with Sciency there is the opportunity to get better research results.”

Sciency 2.0 ELN is designed to make laboratory research more organized, structured, and unified. Web-based and consolidated, Sciency makes it easier to communicate and work simultaneously in the lab, at home, or around the world.
