Torx Make
Torx Make, the chemistry workflow technology platform, marketed during the 2021-2025 Torx collaboration, now continues today as iTraX Chemistry.
Torx Make, the chemistry workflow technology platform
Originally developed by Elixir in 2012, the platform helps pharmaceutical and biotech teams track synthesis targets, coordinate CRO chemistry projects and maintain visibility across compound synthesis workflows.
iTraX Chemistry enables teams to:
- Track synthesis targets and compound priorities.
- Coordinate CRO synthesis projects.
- Prevent duplication of work.
- Visualise compound progress across global teams.
iTraX, configured for Chemistry, is a web-based chemistry-aware platform that enables medicinal and synthetic chemists to collaborate seamlessly across synthesis, alongside outsourcing partners.
With progress updates viewable in real-time, iTraX makes it easier than ever to manage discovery portfolio and track hypotheses and compound synthesis. By unifying design, synthesis and registration, iTraX accelerates decision-making, eliminates duplication and drives faster project delivery.
Leveraging agentic AI
Elixir is developing controlled applications of the latest agentic AI technologies into iTraX, working towards creating the software-defined autonomous lab.
Hypothesis-driven compound synthesis tracking with real-time visibility and prioritization
- Upload compounds via SDF files, SMILES or ChemDraw, with built-in duplication checks.
- Search for compounds across all your DesignSets using the sub-structure search (SSS).
- Support hypothesis-driven design by tracking key outcomes or learnings.
- Quickly edit or update compound tickets in bulk, saving time during repetitive tasks.
Real-time project oversight
- Instantly view high priority compounds, synthetic progress, CRO workload and capacity, and your own personal to-do list.
- Visual alerts highlights what's new, changed or needs attention.
- Full audit trails for transparency and KPI tracking.
Integration and collaboration
- Securely share selected compounds and share updates with CROs in one, secure platform.
- Per project, configurable, role-based permissions allow you to collaborate with confidence.
- iTraX can seamlessly integrate with existing systems such as compound registration systems and design tools.
Tailored to your scientific processes
Fully customizable to match the unique needs of your synthesis workflows, iTraX is fast to deploy with robust permission models for full control over shared information.
50+ enterprise clients boosting productivity across 4 continents
With collaborative input from major pharma clients, iTraX has allowed scientists to make better use of time and budgets for more than a decade.
Streamlining your workflows
- Dynamic tracking: capture, track and share hypotheses, compound priorities and outcomes.
- Stay aligned: manage resources effectively with a real-time interface for internal and CRO workloads.
- Save time: identify compounds which have stalled and prevent duplication of synthesis targets.
- External collaboration: secure, selective sharing of targets and live updates with CRO partners.
