In 1995, after several years working at a commercial chemistry software company, the VCI partners recognized an unmet need for custom scientific software solutions. Commercial scientific software offerings, though often of excellent quality, were only filling part of the needs of a research scientist. Today, two key factors continue to drive the need for custom software solutions:
  1. Scientific research is dynamic – a single way of doing something rarely persists for long.
  2. Research involves bringing together processes and information from many sources.
Virtual Chemistry, Inc. was founded to help customers, especially in the life sciences, create custom software solutions rapidly and effectively. Sometimes these solutions take the form of a special algorithm or visualization; other times the task is to integrate existing software into a seamless solution.

Over the past decade technology advances have lead to two additional demands on software:
  1. Data and knowledge management is increasingly important with the abundance of raw and processed results.
  2. Web access to functionality and data has become increasingly important.
VCI has become an expert in web-based data management. With our powerful MetaXml toolkit for creating data-rich, "Ajax"-style web pages, VCI can create web solutions with a look and feel close to that of desktop applications. By using these tools developed over years of interacting with customers, VCI can often save significant time on the project schedule.

Through the years, VCI has also distilled some of our experiences into complete product offerings in our Mosaic line:
  1. Mosaic Vivarium – a complete web-based mouse breeding colony management system.
  2. Mosaic Plate Assay – a solution that saves scientists hours of time crunching the data from plate assay experiments.
How do our product offerings differ from the software that in 1995 spurred VCI to do something different? VCI’s products are built from the ground up to be easily maintained and modified. VCI stands behind its products with the strength of a professional services team with a track record of making software that does what the customer wants.



"Virtual Chemistry was responsive, creative, and understood the complexity of our project. They used their dual command of chemical structures and graphics to provide a superb image which effectively conveyed an otherwise complicated comparison of biomolecules."
