Our review
Pros	Predicts solubility across liquids, solids and gases Covers phase equilibria, partitioning, vapor pressure and pKa Offers graphical workflows and command-line batch processing	Reusable experiment templates support consistent workflows. Audit trails, electronic signatures, and procedure sign-offs track records. Connects with instruments, LIMS, SDMS, CDS, and BIOVIA ONE Lab.
Cons	Windows desktop deployment limits platform flexibility Contact-sales pricing makes cost assessment less direct Specialized thermodynamics scope is narrower than process simulation	Sales-led purchasing may not suit teams seeking self-serve pricing. Its focus is laboratory records rather than broad chemical software work. Windows is the listed platform; deployment is cloud or self-hosted.
Our verdict	BIOVIA COSMOtherm applies COSMO-RS to predict thermodynamic properties of molecules in pure and mixed liquids. Its intended audience includes researchers and teams in chemistry, chemical engineering, formulation, drug development,… Read the review →	BIOVIA Workbook is an enterprise electronic lab notebook from Dassault Systèmes for documenting experiments and managing laboratory information, tasks, and materials.
