Symyx Technologies, Inc. is a partner and solutions provider to global research and development companies. Symyx is focused on delivering leading-edge software, modular workflows and research services to help companies maximize returns on their R&D investments. We developed our software and workflow systems around the premise that our clients want flexibility to grow and evolve as their business requires. Our software platform and modular workflows allow labs to adapt to changing needs while delivering productivity that would be impossible in a traditional laboratory environment. By partnering with us, purchasing our hardware or licensing our software, companies can leverage our innovations and expertise to improve their R&D productivity.

Integrated Software Solutions
Designed by scientists for scientists, Symyx Software provides a one-source solution for scientific teams to increase the productivity of their labs. Symyx's powerful platform allows for simple design and execution of experiments, data aggregation, analysis and sharing of information. We designed our user interface around chemists' protocols and terminology, making the transition to our system seamless. Tailored to our clients' businesses and research needs, Symyx Software is at work in the world's leading R&D organizations, where it is helping to deliver breakthrough results.

Modular Workflow Solutions
Symyx Tools designs and builds customizable workflows that allow scientific teams to automate complete lab processes and increase testing capacity by 10-100 times. Our modular and scalable systems allow clients to better plan for capital expenditures and to grow and evolve based on business needs, not on lab capabilities. We offer both custom and preconfigured applications, and our basic Benchtop System can be appended to incorporate analytics and become part of a fully integrated workflow.

Research
Bringing together the power of our software systems and proprietary workflows with the skills and experience of our scientists, engineers and software programmers, Symyx Labs works on behalf of our customers to discover and optimize materials. Using traditional methods, a chemist and technician will perform 500 to 1,000 experiments per year. With our proprietary high-throughput technology, we can run 50,000 or more, then use Symyx Software to aggregate and analyze the data. By partnering with Symyx, our customers are finding a fast and cost-effective R&D solution.

Intellectual Property Licensing
As innovators in the materials field, Symyx is able to selectively license our patents, materials, technology and OEM software. We enable customers to implement initial approaches to high-throughput materials research in their laboratories by licensing certain patents, including our broad methodology patents. We also license materials discovered as a result of our research efforts as well as technologies and software to instrument manufacturers.
