1. Improves research efficiency

• Needed supplies can be located quickly and easily, at local or remote sites
• Purity, amount available, & properties can be checked before retrieving material
• Quickly find out who in the lab has experience with materials you need to use

2. Saves time and money

• Why order a chemical if it is already available in the labs?

3. Assures user compliance

• Barcode interface makes registration/retrieval of batches easy
• Intuitive user interface makes it easy for busy scientists to keep inventory up-to-date

4. Uses a familiar user interface

• CDD Vault uses common GUI for all chemical and biological information handling
• Property, similarity & other searches can easily be performed for inventory materials

5. Ensures Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliance

• CDD Vault Inventory reports can ensure GLP compliance for all materials used
• GLP compliance is required for data submitted to FDA
• Government laboratory inspectors expect accountability for all chemicals
• CDD Vault Inventory can track controlled substances as required by federal regulations
• CDD Vault Inventory can use sample expiration dates to initiate removal of stale materials and link to proper disposal practices

6. Integrates with laboratory operations

• Same CDD Vault system for inventory, compound/batch registration, sample/plate handling,
  assay data handling, structure searching, property calculations, reports, etc.

7. Customizes to lab procedures

• Business rules can be defined to control access to particular materials
• Routine reports on inventory consumption are easily created

8. Enhances laboratory safety

• CDD Vault Inventory can flag hazardous materials (flammable, toxic, explosive, etc.) and ensure they are housed appropriately (in cabinets, fume hoods, etc.)
• CDD Vault Inventory can link chemicals to their material safety data sheets (MSDS) to ensure proper handling

9. Ensures emergency preparedness

• In case of fire or accident, fire marshals require a list of all materials, their quantity, location, and flammability index; CDD Vault Inventory can quickly produce such reports

10. Is an affordable solution

• No separate server hardware or software required, no IT support for maintenance and security needed
• Full maintenance of this cloud-based application is provided by CDD
