CISWeb: Web-based Chemical Information System CISWeb is based on ORACLE for the chemistry and text data Contains the collection of chemical substances used at Lonza Each substance has a CIS-Nr (number ID) Contains substance information like structure, abbreviation, names, synonyms Shows which documents contains information concerning these substances Enables full document access as appropriate depending on reading rights slide 9
ELN: The 3 rd database Document Database Substance Database CIS Nr Reaction Database (ELN) slide 10
What were the Options? Stay with Lab notebook (kg s of paper) How to search/share information Acquisition of Commercial ELNs system Flexibility, integration in our system (CIS Web databases)?

ELECTRONIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS Legal Environment of ELN See Dr. Michael Kompter, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH presentation @ IQPC Frankfurt 2007
IP Protection First to invent United States First to invent The Rest of the World First to file United States awards patent rights to the first to invent. Other countries award to the first to file their patent application slide 15
Legal Approach at LONZA We have chosen the hybrid approach. No electronic signature! Several cases are possible: The experiment will be potentially involved in a patent. It is recommended that hard copies of electronic records be printed out and the printouts signed and dated by the technician / a non-inventor witness The experiment is involved in qualification work (LONZA SOP: each document should be signed e.g. procedures, chromatograms ) Others: no signatures, but strongly recommended! slide 16
Criteria for ELN Success Web pages ISIS* Draw for chemical data entry CISWeb application for entries of chemical reaction with CIS Nr InfoChem Chemistry Cartridge for Oracle (ICCARTRIDGE) Need additional development for the display of peptides * MDL slide 17
Owner Co-owner - Operator Security level (Administrator / Chemist / technicians) Owner all right Co-owner similar right as Owner can not delete a reaction Operators can not delete a reaction can not add/delete condition parameters can assign other operators can create/clone new variation slide 18
Criteria for ELN Success phase 1 Hybrid Approach Accommodates daily research and experiment changes All experiments are globally accessible (even if not finished) Preparation of experiment: planed mode (preparation of the reaction by the chemist) Input of the data Effective mode (filled by the technicians) Copy existing experiment as template (cloning mode for the optimization work) Export data from reaction to Excel (overview, reporting ) slide 19
Results Phase 1 Feb-2002. Main functions defined (similar to paper-notebooks, maximum freedom, ability to include objects (chromatograms, photos, excel-sheets etc ) Standard within Lonza: Oracle, CISWeb, ISIS* Full chemical search capabilities Fast search on experiment properties Free text search Agreed on the interface Local team involved (Visp / Switzerland) * MDL slide 20
CIS Web: Doc and Substance Search slide 21
Input of new experiment slide 22
Create New Reaction We recommend to fulfill the mass balance 2 options: A + B C Option A Option B slide 23
Input of Effective Data RCT 1 + RCT 2 - ELN Prod. slide 24
Planned - Effective Planned material: Are entered to prepare the daily experiments. Data exported to create the Product Sheet Request from our customers to receive process description in English. Our Master Batch Records (MBRs) are in German, Chinese, French, ) How?: ELN allows mapping of data into MS-office documents (Excel ): Avoid redundant work. Time saved Product sheet slide 25
Planned - Effective Effective: The amount effectively weighed at the balance Are needed for the yield calculation All electronic data from ELN within a reaction are ready to be exported in excel (extremely useful for optimization work) slide 26
External Documents could be easily added Availability to import various data types from many sources / disciplines Experimental protocols (Word, scanned doc, directly in ELN) Analysis (HPLC, NMR, GC) Pictures / draw of the installation Literature Reviews Certificate of Analysis Release sheet slide 27

Optimization Work What are the options if I want to repeat an experiment: Only the reactants (e.g. A & B) are identical Use new reaction A + B C Reactants /reagents /solvents are identical, only physical parameters are changed (e.g. temperature, ph ) Use clone slide 33

LIMS integration - status Change request released by the Global LIMS office Tool developed by LONZA IT Test script passed If for each new variation a ELN user access once to a LIMS results via the LIMS Web tool, we anticipate a ROI of ca 15 000 per year. In some cases, LIMS ID are easily checked up to 10 times: ROI slide 40

ELN Developed for Chemist: a Good Start? First quick answer: No way, too far away from our needs! Strategy: Play around with LONZA ELN and come back with feedback and custom field requirements. Define way forward. After 2 month trials: only few add-on on the table Addition of new fields (customer, conclusion, hyperlinks) but no need for real IT development All new project are now using ELN New Bio-Super-User on board slide 45
Example slide 46
Example slide 47
Way Forward Expand ELN to Microbio Down Stream Process team in Visp (CH) Share best practice with Slough (UK, mammalian production and development). Implementation of ELN? Define new add-on to have a more user friendly interface SOPs Go full electronic slide 48
