ChemWindow is a molecule editor and publishing program now published by John Wiley & Sons as of 2020, and originally developed by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc."Software review". Journal of Liquid Chromatography, Volume 15, Issue 14, 1992. via Taylor and Francis Online (subscription required)Review of chemistry drawing software. Laboratory Microcomputer, Volumes 12-13 It was first developed by SoftShell International in the 1990s. Bio-Rad acquired this technology in 1996 and eventually made it part of their KnowItAll software product line, offering a specific ChemWindow edition of their software for structure drawing and publishing.Joyce, John "Pittcon 2006 Informatics Review" "Scientific Computing" Rockaway, NJ, April, 2006.
