CDD Vault Update (November 2019): View Chemical Structures and Reactions on the ELN Index Page

Michael Faraday, English scientist who discovered benzene, wrote that “chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.” If your experiments involve chemistry, the CDD Vault ELN now allows you a top-level overview of your chemistry.

Visualize Structures and Reactions on the ELN Index Page

Users can now choose to display chemical structures and reactions from their ELN entries directly on the top-level ELN index page.
