If your software is far from supporting your daily workflows or suffers from a poor interface, then it’s rarely something you look forward to work with. That’s why we have built software that fits to what you’re doing and looks pleasing to the eye, rather than attempting to fit your routines to what the – often outdated – software requires.

We have achieved this through continuous anthropological observations in labs focused on pre-clinical drug discovery, over the last 15 years. So literally we’ve regularly put on lab coats and spent days observing the actual work, in order for us to understand how we can build the best possible software to support those workflows.

Our website and all of our software is designed with a dark appearance – light text on dark backgrounds. In addition, most professional software – ie. for audio, photo, or video editing – is also using similar dark themes. But why is that?

While we can’t speak for other software developers, it’s not because we have a preference for Norwegian black metal. It’s actually very simple. When you spend an extended time working with a computer, the more light your eyes have to endure and process, the more strenuous it is for them. Therefore the dark colour scheme makes it less taxing for the eyes, making it a more pleasurable experience to work with.

The grit42 platform

The grit42 platform is not only a drug discovery or drug hunter tool – it’s an experimental data platform. In other words, the platform is data agnostic and not centered around a compound or a sample, but rather the platform is centered around an experiment. This approach enables you to store and combine information from classical in vitro and in vivo experiments with observational studies, as well as clinical data in the same platform.
