Atrium Research Announces Fifth Edition of Landmark Report on Electronic Laboratory Notebooks

Wilton, Connecticut USA (Sep 12, 2011) - Atrium Research, the leading scientific informatics market research organization, announced today the release of the fifth edition of company’s landmark report, Electronic Laboratory Notebooks: A Foundation for Scientific Knowledge Management. Containing years of detailed research, this comprehensive study examines the ELN market, technology, requirements, best practices, legal issues, benefits, industry trends, and products. Called the “definitive document on ELN” by Indiana University’s School of Informatics, the 716 page study includes over 200 pages dedicated to reviewing the latest ELN software products from major suppliers. Over 600 tables and figures illustrate key points.

"The demand for ELN continues to be strong, with a record number of new vendor installations in the last twelve months," says Michael H Elliott, CEO of Atrium Research and author of the report. "With over US$ 230MM in product and services sales forecasted for 2012, ELN is now a mainstream informatics platform.

The total available market for ELN is just over US$ 2.0 billion with less than 10% penetration. The dynamic nature of biopharmaceutical R&D models is helping drive sales to increase efficiency and build collaborative ecosystems between partners.   As biopharmaceuticals continue to lead adoption, new markets, such as food and beverage and chemicals are quickly accelerating ELN utilization. This is in contrast to the academic and government markets where sales continue to be anemic.

With so many ELN suppliers offering a variety of capabilities and features, prospective users can gain the knowledge and insight they need to make an informed vendor selection.
