PerkinElmer, Inc., has announced V21 of its ChemDraw software featuring the ability to import, animate and share 3D chemical structures natively in the Microsoft PowerPoint application with one click. The key enhancement, to a tool used by millions of scientists around the world, helps chemists create more intelligent research reports quickly and easily -- improving information sharing and collaboration and supporting real-time decision making.

Using the new ChemDraw V21 software, chemists simply paste a live 3D rendering of their molecule, with its atom and bond color highlights fully retained, natively into the Microsoft PowerPoint application where they can view, rotate and share the image. Researchers can also save molecules as 3D printable objects. No other chemical drawing application in the industry today provides these intuitive capabilities which eliminate the need to use specialized software with steep learning curves.

ChemDraw software is part of PerkinElmer’s extensive informatics portfolio which is used by more than 2 million scientists around the globe today. Pharmaceutical, agrochemical, advanced materials, and food industries rely on PerkinElmer’s cloud-based, electronic notebook and laboratory informatics solutions to capture, store and analyze research data, collaborate, and support data-driven R&D and clinical decisions.
