ELN Alternative: Why Smart R&D Teams Are Moving to AI-Native Platforms
Still using an ELN? Here's why it's holding your R&D back.
An Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) is designed to digitally record experiments and replace paper notebooks. But for modern R&D, that’s no longer enough.
- ELNs record what happened.
- But they don’t recommend what to do next.
- They’re passive — not predictive.
In today’s fast-paced innovation landscape, teams need more than a record-keeping tool.
They need a platform that accelerates discovery.
The Limitations of Traditional ELNs
If you’re still using:
- Spreadsheets to plan experiments
- ELNs for documentation only
- Gut feel to prioritize what to test next...
Then you're missing out on the power of your own data.
Introducing the AI-Native R&D Platform
Polymerize is an AI-native alternative to ELNs, built to drive results — not just records.
Instead of logging what happened, we help you:
- Predict high-probability formulations
- Recommend the next best experiment
- Analyze historical data in seconds
- Reduce trial-and-error using smart model suggestions
Go from data collection to data-driven decisions — all in one platform.
Real Results from Global Teams
Whether in Japan, Europe, or Asia-Pacific, leading innovators have already made the switch.
Maxell (🇯🇵) accelerated formulation development
Meraxis (🇨🇭) integrated predictive workflows into global R&D
“With Polymerize, we reached optimal results in just 25 experiments.”
