Starting January 1st, 2026, the functionalities of the chemistry module in ELN will be significantly reduced:

  • For chemistry & stoichiometry items: drawing molecules will no longer be possible
  • For stoichiometry items: The automatic update of the stoichiometry table via drawing will no longer be available.

Why is this happening ?

Our ELN vendor (IDBS) has ended its partnership with Chemaxon, the provider of the drawing functionality

How to proceed going forward ?

  • For chemistry items: Please use Chemdraw then import your molecule and reaction drawings to the ELN
    If you do not have Chemdraw on your computer, please raise a software installation request in Syra.
  • For stoichiometry items, you have 2 options:
    • Complete the stoichiometry item manually directly in IDBS
    • Upload your own stoichiometry table Excel file


The best way to get IT support is to use the new Service One Platform.
