Amphora Research Systems is delighted to announce that their award winning PatentSafe ELN system fully supports the new iOS 4.2 software update from Apple. In conjunction with the new AirPrint features PatentSafe on the iPad now brings the ability to add and update entries into a researcher’s electronic lab notebook from any location.

“We were at the forefront of integrating the mobile possibilities of the iPad into the ELN architecture for scientists”, said Simon Coles CTO of Amphora. “The new printing capabilities offered by iOS 4.2 really complete the picture for the scientist who doesn’t want to, or can’t, update their notebook from their desktop.”

Previously it was possible to read experimental plans, read through notebook entries using the ELN on the iPad. Now scientists can bring up their work, enter observations, measurements and comments as they go, and then print them back into their PatentSafe notebook.

PatentSafe is a direct replacement for the bound laboratory notebook. Completely discipline neutral it allows scientists to gain the benefits of electronic working methods without having to experience the upheaval of major changes in working practices. Amphora’s PatentSafe solution delivers significant ROI with little disruption and at a price that can work for organisations of all sizes and types.
