Unlike most other ELN products developed only for chemistry research, CERF was designed to also meet the unique needs of biology and life sciences researchers

CERF is taking Biology R&D to the next level

Collaborative Electronic Research Framework (CERF) is the answer when biology research matters. The full-featured record keeping software has proven to be user friendly, typically requires 50% fewer mouse clicks, and meets interdisciplinary collaboration needs for sharing information. Metadata, smart tags, controlled vocabularies, annotations, date stamps, and audit trails are readily available. However, the real value of CERF can be found under the hood. Here you will find the essentials needed to run your full-time, complex biology research laboratory and stay in contact with your collaborators.

• 75% better query performance in complex biology data sets due to built-in semantic ontology technology
• Close to zero performance degradation when experiments contain a large volume of scientific data
• Cross-functional, multidisciplinary real-time collaboration capabilities with server push technology
• Modern service-oriented architecture to maximize flexibility and maintenance cost reduction (Cloud)
• Native Apple and Windows operating systems support
• Distributed data management captures all information–including metadata from images and direct data from instruments– and enables automated collection
• Best-in-class recordkeeping, compliance management, authentication, and IP protection solution
• Dedicated company with proven track record in biology ELN deployments and service

CERF – ELN allows life science companies to innovate and modernize their R&D operations, integrate their CROs and coordinate scientific collaborators. The use of ontologies and hierarchically organized controlled vocabularies is fundamental in helping the subject matter experts find the right information.
