27 LIMS & Lab Automation Special Offer for Computer Program for Chemical Thermodynamic and Energy Release Evaluation
The CHETAH (Chemical Thermodynamic and Energy Release) program is ASTM International’s unique tool for predicting both thermochemical properties and certain reactive chemicals hazards associated with pure chemical, a mixture of chemicals, or a chemical reaction. This is accomplished through knowledge of only the molecular structure(s) of the components involved by an implementation of Benson’s method of group additivity.
CHETAH can be used for classifying materials for their ability to decompose with violence, for estimating heats of reaction or combustion, for prediction of chemical equilibrium, and for predicting lower flammable limits.
New for Version 11.0, is the NASA Lewis chemical equilibrium calculations, which allows the user to predict equilibrium compositions, pressures, and temperatures of a user selected list of reactants. The extensive database of chemicals within the CHETAH databases can be used as reactant chemicals. Also, chemicals not in the databases or even in the published literature can be entered as reactants by making use of the Benson group molecular fragment database.
The database for ideal gas Benson groups contains 1,165 groups. It is the largest Benson group database known to exist. In all, 66 new groups have been added. 47 groups have been updated or include additional data. Thermodynamic values provide for 20 Benson groups based on latest best values in the literature. Entropy values for many ideal gas Benson groups are included in the database. This also enables Gibb’s Free Energy calculations for these groups.
Version 11.0 uses Microsoft Access for database management and to manage the user interface. The calculation details are accomplished in the Visual Basic for Applications structure of Access and in C language. CHETAH 11 is designed to be compatible and seamless with the current versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Users can generate pdf format reports direct from the interface as well as Microsoft Word© documents. Past sessions can easily be modified and recalculated. Past sessions from CHETAH 10.0 can be moved to the new version, 11.0.
Four instructional videos are available on the ASTM website to assist in your purchasing decision based on the needs of your laboratory. Currently, ASTM offer a discount of 10% for a single user and 15% off for multi-users license.

Based on its recent analysis of the North American pipetting robot market for life sciences, Frost & Sullivan recognises Andrew Alliance SA with the 2020 North American Product Leadership Award. Andrew Alliance’s liquid handling robot, Andrew+, integrates robotic mechanisms with conventional laboratory pipettes to improve the repeatability of liquid handling. These easy-to-use robots and connected devices allow scientists and laboratory technicians to achieve repeatability, performance, and effi ciency in their experiments. Andrew Alliance is one of the few companies worldwide to manufacture its products in an eco-friendly environment and use carbon-neutral electrical power.
The different components of the Andrew+ pipetting robot, such as single and multi-channel pipettes, a stand, and the cloud-based proprietary software OneLab, can communicate and share data with each other. Although competing products can communicate with their components as well, the communication must be performed using a wired framework, and the software is restricted to a private server. The Andrew+, on the other hand, can communicate with its electronic stand wirelessly using Bluetooth, and the stand is connected to the cloud using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, thereby helping the user remotely access the data related to the analysis performed by Andrew+ to ensure both traceability and repeatability.
“Andrew+ pipetting robot not only automates the liquid handling process but also gives users complete control over the workfl ow through the OneLab software platform. While its competitors offer pipettes with built-in software that can share only a set of pre-established protocols, the OneLab software lets Andrew+’s users design and share their own protocols,” said Rohit Karthikeyan Industry Analyst. “OneLab is completely free of cost and hosted on the cloud, which gives users the fl exibility to handle the robot from any personal computer or tablet.”
Andrew Alliance ensures that users of its Andrew+ pipetting robot and OneLab software are always connected to its technical support experts, underscoring its focus on product reliability. In addition, the company guarantees top data quality and security of the OneLab software by making the protocols accessible only through secure user identifi cation and access control. Andrew Alliance’s simplicity helps lab technicians with no knowledge of programming benefi t from lab automation in the comfort of their homes, which is a vital advantage in the current era of remote working.
“Andrew Alliance, with its integrated portfolio of hardware and intuitive software, enables pharmaceutical companies to accelerate their R&D processes. It has designed its Andrew+ pipetting robot as a lightweight and affordable solution capable of integrating a wide range of products, such as Shaker+, Peltier+, and Magnet+, using the cloud-based OneLab platform,” noted Karthikeyan. “A pioneer in the development of an open, connected lab ecosystem of the future, Andrew Alliance is a valuable pipetting automation partner to labs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award recognises the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.
