Electronic lab notebooks part of insurance company’s risk preventing work

Many research and development companies still rely on paper laboratory notebooks to record, and protect experimental results. This manual procedure is not only inefficient but also offers poor IP protection. As an example there is the issue with missing data since dry glue may cause print-outs to fall out and disappear. Also, there are legibility issues due to variations in people’s handwriting.

ConturELN – an electronic lab notebook - address these security risks by enabling R&D companies to collect, share and protect experiment data more efficiently. The ConturELN is an electronic laboratory notebook system that collects, shares and protects relevant data in laboratories. Built-in features of ConturELN, such as digital signatures, help any R&D intensive company establish a secure signing and witnessing process of experiments as well as offering higher quality of recordkeeping and archiving, while maintaining a high level of IP security.

Chubb Insurance is one of the world’s leading insurance companies and is listed on the New York stock exchange (NYSE). Chubb offers extensive insurance solutions for different business operations around the world and has special insurance solutions for the risks faced by life science companies.

– We are constantly working together with our clients to help them with risk preventing actions, says Wouter Wissink, Loss Control Manager Northern Europe at Chubb Insurance.
