22 Opportunities for Improvement
Cloud-based data management is increasingly enticing to streamline storage and access
There has been a lot of hype about artifi cial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) over the last few years. While there is plenty of potential for these technologies in the life sciences, our results reveal that the industry is years away from full implementation.
Only 6% of respondents’ organisations had fully implemented the use of analytical data for data science projects, while 43% are in the process of doing so. 51% have no plans of using analytical data for AI and ML projects.
There is a lot of disparity around the implementation of AI and ML. This is unsurprising, especially given the daily volume of analytical data and its diversity. The cornerstone of data science projects is curated, normalised data, which is challenging for analytical data. If taking advantage of AI is a long-term goal, it’s important to identify how analytical data fi ts into that goal and start at the beginning. Many analytical data management solutions in place today do not prepare that data for use in data science projects. Automation to gather data without burdening scientists and internal agreement on how that data will be normalised, are critical fi rst steps.
There is Work To be Done…
70% of respondents agree their organisation needs investment in newer/better data management technologies.
Scientifi c R&D is on the edge of a cloud revolution. Cloud-based data management offers streamlined collaboration with information available to everyone, regardless of location. In addition to reducing IT maintenance overhead, cloud-based storage provides fast scalability, and added data security. In the long run, more immediate access to data means increased ROI and reduced expenditure.
Nearly half of respondents (47%) also agreed that cloud-based data management solutions are important.
Advanced Technologies - Like AI and ML - Are Appealing but Few Have Implemented Them for Analytical Data
Specifi c improvements mentioned, include: • A centralised system to manage data versus several programs or systems • User-friendly systems • Cloud storage compatible • Stronger data security
For almost three decades ACD/Labs has been helping R&D organisations manage their analytical data and improve the effi ciency of workfl ows where analytical data is key. More recently, supporting the migration of software and solution deployments to the cloud and consulting on data preparation for use in data science (AI and ML) projects.

Hiden Analytical develops and supplies instruments for a new era of process gas analysis from UHV to Atmospheric Pressure. The latest in the range of product showcase brochures, HPR-30 Series offers an insight into the range of instruments, sampling inlets and software packages.
The Hiden HPR-30 Series are bolt on vacuum process analysers designed for fast response, high sensitivity analysis of gas and vapour species. Equipped with Hiden’s multi-level software package, offering simple control of mass spectrometer parameters and complex manipulation of data and control of external devices. Applications include leak detection, contamination monitoring, process trend analysis and analysis of high mass species and precursors used in ALD and MOCVD. Standard mass range is 200 amu, versions up to 1000 amu are offered.
Optional upgrades include the innovative Hiden 3F series triple fi lter quadrupole system providing enhanced abundance sensitivity, part- per-billion (ppb) detection levels and high contamination resistance, particularly suited to the analysis of aggressive gases in CVD and RIE applications. Standard mass range is 200 amu, versions up to 1000 amu are offered.
Multiple sampling confi gurations are offered to suit a full range of process pressure and vacuum system geometry requirements. Versions are offered with single, or multiple sampling inlets, either unheated or heated to allow sampling of volatile species.
Systems are offered cart mounted, and with height adjustment for maximum compatibility between tools. For pulsed deposition processes, time resolved measurements are offered to 50 ns time resolution.
The HPR-30 Series are designed to offer a fully featured, fl exible and powerful solution for the monitoring of parameters in all aspects of process gas analysis such as leak detection, vacuum quality and precursor monitoring.
