Over the past few years, the industry has increasingly adopted the ELN, a software application that eliminates paper from laboratories during analytical procedures. In a recent Pharma IQ survey, conducted with key members of the community on behalf of the forthcoming ELNS & Advanced Laboratory Solutions Conference, 91.2 percent of respondents claimed to be at least in the planning phase of ELN adoption and usage. Most participants in the study were pharma or biopharma companies, though almost a quarter were CROs or vendors.
