PerkinElmer is known almost as much for our hands-on expertise in research and development as we are for our diverse product line up.
So, of course, the company has a team of Ph.D.s who know ChemDraw like you know chemistry. Meet them and then take the Challenge.

Here are just a few of those PerkinElmer experts – The ChemDraw Wizards:

PIERRE MORIEUX, PH.D. -- ChemDraw, Global Marketing Manager

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

The ChemDraw Wizards love a challenge! Plus, they love to help customers and prospects solve the hardest chemistry communications problems you face. This passion resulted in “The ChemDraw Wizards Challenge.”

It’s easy to participate and you might win a cool ChemDraw gift.

Share Your Challenge Today!
Send us your challenge
Just send us your toughest chemical drawing/publishing challenge (It doesn't have to be drawn in ChemDraw; it can be a challenge with any drawing solution). Tell us who you are, how long it took to create your drawing, your biggest frustration in doing so, and if we can showcase your work on social media.
The wizards will review
The Wizards will take a look, select a drawing and will show how it would be drawn in ChemDraw, and how long it took to create it. The Wizards will then post the results to The Showcase section of this site.
The toughest submissions will be shared once a month
Once per month, the Wizards will share a few of the toughest submissions with the whole ChemDraw community. If you want to remain anonymous, you can. If you’d like to participate personally in the session, we’d love to have you.

This section is all YOU. All the drawings here are from the ChemDraw Community and represent your biggest challenges.
