"Chemists used one system for archiving reactions, the scientific information department used another," explained Giuliana Angonoa, a member of BASF’s scientific information department. Angonoa and her colleague Elmar Albers in BASF’s main laboratory (where life science research is carried out at the Ludwigshafen site) presented BASF’s new system to the MDL customer community at the 1998 MDL European Users’ Group Meeting. "We needed to introduce state-of-the-art systems that would not just make reaction management easier, but would also ensure the quality of the reactions stored in our corporate databases."
BASF’s reaction management system includes two client applications: one for chemists,
and one for information specialists. Scientists draw reactions using the system’s main form. Once the reaction
has been verified against standard chemistry rules, scientists use the forms shown here to define reaction
parameters and describe the reaction scheme
