New Version download here), Requires MacOSX 10.4 Filemaker (v7) (check out educational pricing if applicable) and Chemdraw >(>v8) Chem3D for full functionality, which can be purcased online from Chemstore
Alternatively there is also a runtime version that does not require Filemaker, a trial version (download here) is available that allows you to create 10 records. You can purchase a license for this version which can be ordered ($25) online at Kagi , or using Paypal (£15). The advantage is that you don't need FileMaker, but the downside is that you can't modify the layout or add new fields.
If you want to upgrade from the runtime to the full version drop me an email, the change is free.
The notebook consists of two databases, the notebook itself and a reagents database. The reagents database contains the structures, name, MWt, density and safety information on over 13,000 compounds that can be used as reagents. Entering the name of a reagent into the notebook causes the rest of the information to be "looked up" from the reagents database. This means that the first time you use a new chemical all the relevant information needs to be entered into the reagents database, but from then on you will only need to enter the name. The report view is perfect for providing the text for a thesis publications patent examples etc.

The free download is fully functioning but has some limitations. You cannot edit any of the scripts or customise the layouts. The reagents database is only a small subset of the full database. The commercial reagents database contains over 13,000 reagents all annotated to allow searching by structure, presence or absence of functional groups, chemical names, formulas or CAS Numbers. The notebook is designed for individual use but can be configured to use a central database, it can be ordered ($25) online at Kagi , or using Paypal (£15)
Recent Additions (May 2005) This is an updated version that takes advantage of some of the new features of MacOSX, Filemaker (v7) and ChemDraw 9. Guest access allows full functionality but you need to register to get access to the extended reagents database and the ability to modify layouts etc. Sorry for the delay, but the changes in MacoSX, FileMaker and ChemDraw took longer to resolve than I expected.
Recent Addtions (July 2004)
I have a version that works with Filemaker (v7) and Chemdraw (v8) drop me an email if you need it. I'm in the process of updating it to add new features and hope to have it finished soon
Recent Additions (June 2003)
Here is a MacOSX version this has been tested with FileMaker (v6) and Chemdraw (v7 and v8) note however ChemFinder and Chem3D still function in Classic mode.
Recent additons: (June 2002)
Experimental text builder, click on the TEXT input button and an alternative layout appears, a series of dropdown menus allow you to insert the text for the experimental procedure in user defined blocks.
Recent additions: (Mar2002)
Substructure searching, this requires ChemFinder from Cambridgesoft
Recent additions: (Dec2001)
The user can now choose the units (mg,g.kg)
Printing uses sliding objects to avoid blank space
Layout available displaying reactions as SMILES
NOTE FOR EXISTING USERS
The fields Reactant2 SMILES and Reactant2 source have been
renamed Reactant2_SMILES and Reactant2_source in the new version,
this will help with future plans for a web front-end.
The application can be found here (2.2MB). The file is a compressed file and will open to a Folder called Lab_Notebook just drop the folder onto your Macintosh HD icon. If you have called your hard drive anything else you will need to register the product to change one or two of the scripts.
The notebook is designed for individual use but can be configured to use a central database, it can be ordered ($25) online at Kagi , or using Paypal (£15)
If there are more than 10 users it might be worth investing in a copy of Filemaker Unlimited for the central database. If you would like more information please email me
