Informatics software

The CompareIt application has been added to version 4.1 of the KnowItAll Informatics System. Pharmaceutical researchers can use this tool to visualize and compare numeric data between multiple databases. In pharmaceutical research, comparisons are regularly needed across different research data sets in order to compare predicted values with experimental laboratory results and visualize the relationships between different experimental values between data sets.

Using the CompareIt application, users can select any two property fields from multiple databases for comparison. For example, a researcher might choose to compare ADME response data (e.g., blood–brain barrier) to molecular physical property data (e.g., polar surface area, logP, etc.) or to other ADME response data (e.g., human intestinal absorption).

Once the researcher selects the fields to be compared, the CompareIt application generates a scatter-plot diagram of one variable versus the other. Selecting any point or group of points will immediately display the compounds associated with that record, with an easy pop-up view of all the data associated with the compound. From this scatter-plot comparison, the researcher can visualize trends and segregate data that follows a desired trend from that which does not.

The data input for this application can be either KnowItAll user-generated or reference databases containing experimental data, calculated results, or both. The CompareIt application is fully integrated with all other applications in the KnowItAll environment, including searching, reporting, and prediction.

Containers.

The small-volume end-ported BioProcess Container (BPC) system’s applications include QC sampling, product storage, and delivery and collection of cells, process fluids, and final product. These flexible containers demonstrate tensile properties, low gas permeability, a low profile of leachable compounds, and a product contact surface free of animal-derived components. These products are available in sizes ranging from 50 to 2000 mL and can be customized with a variety of end connectors, fluid paths incorporating sterile filters, and manifolds.

Precision pump.

The milliGAT pump for precision fluid handling bidirec-tionally pumps both liquids and gases, or a combination of both. It features a flow range of over 6 orders of magnitude, from nL/min to mL/min, and its capability to meter volumes as small as nanoliters makes it suitable for many applications, including microfluidics, HTS, dispensing, titrating, FIA, SIA, and diluting. The milliGAT features pulseless flow and 100-psi backpressure; has no check valves; and is self-priming, chemically inert, stepper-motor-driven, and fully computer-control-lable.

Control software.

Special control software for the EZChrom Elite Chromatography Data Systems and the OpenLAB Laboratory Software Framework is available to control the Varian 3900 GC from Varian Instruments Associates. This software allows EZChrom Elite or OpenLAB to fully control the 3900 GC with instrument control of the GC and related autosamplers. Software control of the 3900 GC allows users to create a single software method to provide data analysis and reporting as well as control of instrument running conditions. Data from the detector is collected and analyzed with a full range of reporting options. The control software supports instrument parameters such as split/splitless mode, multiple on-column injectors, inlet temperature control, column oven temperature, FID and TCD detectors, and other important 3900 GC settings.

Atomic models.

Offered under license from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, these CPK, three-dimensional atomic models can be assembled, disassembled, and reassembled easily using simple construction tools. The models are offered in three different ways: as individual atomic models, connectors, and accessories; as sets for construction of specific molecules; and as assembled molecular structures, for example, amino acids, purine nitrogen bases, pyrimidine nitrogen bases, purine nucleosides, fatty acids and derivatives, enzyme cofactors, water- and fat-soluble vitamins, and many more.
