- Adjust plot scales to better inspect and compare curves
Why It Matters
Provides researchers with more flexibility when reviewing, comparing, and interpreting experimental results within CDD Vault.
Use Cases
Teams working with assay results, images, plots, or other experimental data that need more efficient ways to review and compare results.
Navigation & Search Enhancements
Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
What’s New
- Table of contents navigation within ELN entries
- Save frequently used ELN searches
- Pin favorite searches for quick access
- Additional metadata fields for sorting and filtering, including Project, Days Opened, and Days Submitted
Why It Matters
Makes it easier for researchers to navigate longer experiments, locate relevant entries, and return to frequently used searches.
Use Cases
Teams with a growing number of ELN entries that need faster ways to navigate, organize, search, and filter experimental records.
Workflow Enhancements
Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
What’s New
- Reorder reagents and components within stoichiometry tables (Done)
- View macromolecules directly from the ELN index
- Triethylamine added as a predefined ELN solvent
Why It Matters
Provides additional flexibility for organizing experimental information and accessing relevant scientific data within existing ELN workflows.
Use Cases
Teams working with reaction setup, stoichiometry tables, macromolecules, or looking for more flexibility when organizing experimental information.
Compose Macromolecules
Registration | Biologics & Macromolecules
What’s New
Why It Matters
- Compose and preview macromolecules in real time
- Support one-off registration and editing
- Work with multiple macromolecule types
- Keep macromolecule registration within CDD Vault workflows
Use Cases
Teams working with peptides, nucleotides, siRNA, or other macromolecules that need a straightforward way to create and register individual entities.
Expanded Custom Monomer Support
Registration | Biologics & Macromolecules
What’s New
Why It Matters
Provides greater flexibility when registering complex peptide structures, allowing researchers to better represent specialized molecules within CDD Vault.
Use Cases
Registering peptides containing non-standard amino acids or custom monomers with non-standard leaving groups.
Bulk Macromolecule Registration with HELM & IDT
Registration | Biologics & Macromolecules
What’s New
Why It Matters
- Register collections of macromolecules in bulk
- Use established HELM and IDT notation standards
- Preview composed macromolecules before processing
- More easily transfer macromolecule collections from external sources
Use Cases
Teams managing large collections of macromolecules or transferring sequence-based entities from external systems into CDD Vault.
Barcode-Based Workflows
Inventory
What’s New
- Search Inventory using a barcode scanner
- Create barcodes for inventory locations
- Scan location barcodes to retrieve stored samples
- Search across multiple scanned locations
Why It Matters
Helps researchers locate samples and navigate physical inventory with less manual searching or data entry.
Use Cases
Teams managing large physical sample inventories, using barcode scanners, or looking for faster ways to locate samples and storage locations.
Location Management
Inventory
What’s New
- Select multiple inventory locations when filtering
- Export sample locations as separate columns
- Update locations and re-import to relocate samples in bulk
- Delete empty or retired inventory locations
Multi-location filtering came in July; the export, bulk-relocation, and location cleanup capabilities were added in September.
Why It Matters
Provides greater flexibility for organizing inventory, managing locations, and making large-scale updates as sample collections grow or change.
Use Cases
Teams managing samples across multiple locations, frequently relocating samples, or reorganizing an established inventory structure.
Search & Molecular Ideation Enhancements
AI
What’s New
- Filter Deep Learning similarity and bioisosteric suggestion results by substructure
- Export all Deep Learning similarity and bioisosteric suggestions at once
Why It Matters
Provides researchers with more control over AI-generated results and makes it easier to explore, refine, and export molecular suggestions.
Use Cases
Teams exploring AI-driven molecular design, Deep Learning similarity searching, bioisosteric suggestions, or ways to prioritize relevant structures.
Expanded API Capabilities & Documentation
Automation
What’s New
- New OpenAPI schema documentation
- Create and modify saved searches through the API
- Retrieve readout rows using internal row IDs
- Export SCSR sequences and calculated properties for macromolecules
- Return sample and inventory fields through GET Fields
The OpenAPI documentation, saved-search API functionality, and readout-row endpoint were released in July. SCSR sequence/property export and sample/inventory fields were added in September.
Why It Matters
Provides developers and informatics teams with more options for integrating CDD Vault with other systems, automating workflows, and accessing scientific and inventory data programmatically.
Use Cases
Organizations integrating CDD Vault with external systems, automating data workflows, or leveraging the OpenAPI schema to build AI agent-driven workflows and custom integrations.
Search Imported Data Files
Vault-Wide Enhancements
What’s New
Why It Matters
- Find previous imports without paging through uploaded files
- Quickly revisit and investigate past data imports
- Filter files using multiple criteria
- Improve visibility into previous import activity
Use Cases
Teams that regularly import data into CDD Vault and need an easier way to find, review, or investigate previous uploads.
Project Permission Management
Vault-Wide Enhancements
What’s New
Why It Matters
Makes it easier for administrators to adjust individual user access as responsibilities and project roles change.
Use Cases
Organizations managing multiple users or projects that need a simpler way to control individual access and permissions.
