Waters Corporation And Symyx Technologies, Inc. To Collaborate On Research Lab Software Offerings

Firms to Facilitate Electronic Data Storage and Documentation

Milford, MA and Santa Clara, CA - Waters Corporation and Symyx Technologies, Inc. announced today the integration of Waters NuGenesis Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) with the Symyx Software Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) product. By making the software products compatible with one another, scientists will find it easier to access, share, use and document scientific information generated by multiple sources.

With this new level of integration, scientists using Symyx ELN software to design, document and share experimental information will be able to retrieve directly data and documents stored in the NuGenesis SDMS system, saving considerable time and effort. Laboratories looking to couple NuGenesis SDMS with the Symyx ELN software will get a configurable off-the-shelf software solution with intelligent tools to enhance scientific R&D, project data management productivity, and global collaboration / communication.

"To keep up with the mountains of data generated by drug discovery research, leading research firms need solid information management solutions like Symyx Software and Waters NuGenesis SDMS," said Patrick Martell, Director of Waters Laboratory Informatics. "The regulatory and competitive environments in which modern pharmaceutical and chemical products are developed demand the highest standards of IP traceability, compliance and efficiency. This new integration of our products helps our customers keep pace with these demands."

"Symyx and Waters are partnering to provide a fully integrated experimentation and computing environment for our customers," said Timothy Campbell, President of Symyx Software. "Integration is the key to improving efficiency and productivity. The combination of Symyx's Electronic Lab Notebook and Waters' NuGenesis SDMS will help provide our customers a competitive advantage in the market."
