Companies Announce Intention to Integrate ACD/Labs’ PhysChem and Nomenclature Software and Klee’s Kalabie Application

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) is pleased to announce that it has established a collaboration with Klee, one of the leading vendors in Electronic Laboratory Notebooks. The intention is to deliver an integrated product, delivering access to the industry standard nomenclature and physicochemical prediction algorithms via the Kalabie electronic notebook, with the intention of delivering more efficient and repeatable discovery processes.

ACD/Labs PhysChem and Nomenclature batch modules have been adopted as the standard tools for many chemical and pharmaceutical companies around the world. Integrating ACD/Labs solutions into the Klee Kalabie framework meshes together two of the best of breed solutions available in the marketplace.

Alain Meller, Kalabie Director at Klee Group comments, “ACD/Labs is certainly one of the key specialty software companies in the marketplace. With this agreement we will tighten our relationship and provide a seamless integration between Kalabie and ACD/labs products. We believe that major challenges for ELNs and Collaborative R&D environments revolve around integration: integration with a customer’s information services environment and integration with partner software like ACD/Labs. Kalabie in this respect can capitalize on 20 years of history of successes and experience of the Klee Group.”

Antony Williams, VP and Chief Science Officer for ACD/Labs, furthers, “Electronic Notebooks are permeating the life sciences industry and delivering standardized platforms for electronic recordkeeping. The Kalabie platform is recognized as one of the guiding lights in the developing ELN marketplace and the connection of our PhysChem and Nomenclature algorithms will enable chemists direct access to these essential properties. ACD/Labs is pleased to provide our customers with higher levels of integration through the Kalabie interface.”
