A Tour of SciveraLENS

Getting started with SciveraLENS

There are some key parts of SciveraLENS that will be useful for you to familiarize yourself with as you use the tool.

When you log in to SciveraLENS, you’ll see the following sections:

• Your Profile (see previous section for more information)
• Left-hand navigation menu
  • The left-hand navigation menu is dynamic based on your subscription access and permissions but is a great way to navigate the system. We’ve provided a simple explanation of what you can find on each page of SciveraLENS. As you’re getting familiar with SciveraLENS, we encourage you to explore. See something you have questions about? You can always ask us too at Sustainablechemistry.support@enhesa.com.
• Overview page
  • This page is your “launch pad” when logging into SciveraLENS. Here, you can track important statistics regarding your tool use and see any items that need action.

Left-Hand Navigation

Below is a listing of all the possible navigation menu items available in SciveraLENS. You may not see all these menu items when you log in to your SciveraLENS account, as the menu is dynamic and changes based on your access and subscription type. If you are interested in any of the features listed, please let us know, and we can discuss subscription upgrade options.

Home

• Overview – The Overview page is your personal SciveraLENS dashboard that will change and update as you use the system. Here, you can view important subscription statistics and actions needed.
• Alerts and Notifications—We’ll let you know when any lists impacting your chemicals or data related to the Chemical Hazard Assessment results for your chemicals of interest are updated.

Assess

• Look Up CAS RNs – Quickly look up CAS RNs (by CAS RN or common name) and view assessment results against almost 500 lists and 23 human health and environmental fate endpoints.
• Add to CAS RN Library – Add a list of CAS RNs (text, CSV, copy & paste) into SciveraLENS for assessment
• CAS RN Library – The CAS RN Library lists the chemicals or CAS RNs you have entered into your SciveraLENS account. Sort or filter through your list of CAS RNs, view summary assessment results, and create groups of chemicals for review.
• CAS RN Groups – Organize your chemicals of interest into groups based on the criteria that matter most to you. View assessment results for the full group of CAS RNs in a paginated report.

Formulations

• All Formulations—Build chemical formulas, mixtures, products, and recipes in SciveraLENS. Enter important formulation information like concentration, whether an ingredient is an ingredient or impurity, and more, and view your assessment results.
• Upload SDS—We know many of our clients begin their screening with the ingredient information they have, which often means an SDS. Upload a text-based PDF of your SDS here. We’ll pull out the relevant information (Product name, Supplier name, CAS RNs, Concentrations) so you can view the assessment results for each CAS RN included.

Connect

• Sent Requests – Using SciveraLENS, you can send and manage requests for information with your suppliers and share Formulation and ingredient information while protecting proprietary ingredient information. The Sent Requests menu provides a view of all your requests through the system. Here, you can check request status, send reminders, and edit requests as needed.
• Received Formulations – As suppliers or other contacts share Formulations with you, you can view and manage them in the Received Formulations menu. Pending permissions, you can import these Formulations into your own as needed to view assessment results and import updates as they become available.

Respond

• Received Requests – View and respond to any requests you have received from other SciveraLENS users.
• Shared Formulations – When you respond to a request in SciveraLENS, your shared Formulations are listed here. The Shared Formulations menu is where you can view shares you have made and edit if needed.

Services/ Certificates

• Certification Requests - SciveraLENS supports several certification standards and scoring programs including EIM Chemistry Impact Scoring and Screened Chemistry certification. You can manage your certificate requests from this menu and view status updates.
• Completed Certificates – Manage all your completed certificates, check for updates, and review renewal and report details.

Manage

• Lists—Our team manages and maintains hundreds of lists for you to use in screening. This menu shows all the lists we manage, the date the authority last updated them, and the number of CAS RNs included. This is also where you can configure your subscription by selecting lists considered “favorites” for easier selection. Our team can also set favorites to be shared across your account.
• Formulation Tags – As your list of Formulations grows, you may want to organize and filter through them. You can easily tag your Formulations and then view these tags in this section.
• Chemical Names – There are often many synonyms for certain chemicals. We use the registered chemical name from the CAS Registry. If you prefer to refer to a certain CAS RN by another name or synonym, you can create a “chemical name” that will replace the common name in your account.

You can also navigate the tool using the tiles on the Overview page.

Here are some of the tiles you may see:
