Albert Invent announced the updated version of its Worksheet. It now brings all of scientists’ data, formulas, and materials into one connected command center. This information integrates with the full R&D system, giving scientists the ability to understand their experiments and data in real time. Albert Invent’s next generation Worksheet is a replacement for Excel, with an extensible database behind it. The result is a first-of-its-kind experience for chemical and materials scientists, enabling them to have greater IP protection, fewer experiment iterations, and increased cost savings as well as reducing errors and fostering greater collaboration.

“The Albert Worksheet is an enabler of the paperless laboratory. It’s like Excel on steroids,” said Albert Invent CEO and co-founder Nick Talken. “We’ve taken the format and functionality with which scientists are already comfortable and added everything they need to intuitively make experiments faster, easier, and more effective. Because we’ve spent years in the lab ourselves, we know where traditional point systems, such as ELNs and LIMS, do not actually make the job of a scientist easier; they’re just adding another system on top of Excel or a paper notebook. The Albert Worksheet arms scientists with an actual replacement, allowing scientists to work more efficiently, reduce repeat data entry, and have all of their information clean and connected–from inventory, to new product designs and formulations, to experimental properties and measurements.”
