samples at high throughput. At the other end of the scale from manufacturing and research, for busy QA/QC and teaching laboratories performing frequent materials characterisation, the Nicolet Summit FTIR features new hardware and software, accelerates analysis times and provides real-time feedback on sample quality for an improved user experience.
Laboratory software Informatics company ACD/Labs launched a new web-based application to support high throughput (HT) experimentation. Katalyst D2D offers a single interface for high throughput experimentation and parallel synthesis – from experimental design to final decisions. Katalyst supports the ‘lab of the future’ through the digitisation of laboratory tasks, integration with existing informatics systems, lab automation hardware, analytical instrumentation, and automated execution. Its single interface integrates third party systems and eliminates the manual transcription currently necessary between systems, as well as the gathering and interpretation of associated analytical data. LabVantage Solutions unveiled
LabVantage 8.4, the latest version of the company’s laboratory information management solution (LIMS). The most significant changes include new features for work planning and managing resource capacity and availability, as well as enhanced capabilities to ensure data privacy. Work Assignment and
Resource Planning (WAP) allows lab managers to see current and upcoming scheduled work and make assignments based on the
WITEC alpha300Ri
A broad programme of presentations and papers complemented the new equipment on show
availability of individuals and user groups, according to their corporate calendars and lab resources. It also displays the calendar availability, existing work assignments, work capacity, and the certification status of the facility’s instruments. Testing master data can be configured to identify preferred laboratory instruments and users so that incoming work can be quickly assigned and optimised. A new Master Data Navigator
designed to speed creation and maintenance of laboratory master data allows data builders to enter and access all master data objects from a single screen. New items can be quickly entered in the navigator and are visually marked to indicate that additional detail may be required before laboratory use. Finally, the new automated issue
tracking and submission feature allows users to log support requests directly from within their LIMS, rather than having to go through the company’s support portal. Bruker announced its acquisition
of Arxspan, a provider of cloud-based scientific software and workflow solutions, focused on pharmaceutical and biopharma customers. Bruker can now provide a range of software tools for customers in the chemistry, pharmaceutical, biopharma and analytical laboratory markets. A strategic NMR
collaboration between Mestrelab and Bruker is expected to provide a simple, instrument-
to-result automation environment that allows users to build automated solutions tailored to their workflow. An example is the integration of Bruker’s Fragment-Based Screening (FBS) solution with Mestrelab’s MScreen software, which provides drug discovery groups with an integrated experience from data acquisition and data analysis to the identification of hits in FBS-by-NMR campaigns.
In the pharma industry, Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) form characterisation and quantification are important from drug development and formulation to manufacturing, where it is important to understand how solid API forms are influenced by production and storage. Bruker announced minispec Form Check, a TD-NMR (Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) solution to monitor phase purity and quantify physical API forms including amorphisation. It uses 1
H or 19 F
relaxometry data as easy-to-obtain fingerprints for expected components in solid mixtures, replacing excessive calibration, delicate sample preparation and expert know-how. A collaboration between Bruker and MilliporeSigma has led to the development of certified reference materials (CRM) tailored to qNMR. A novel, two-component mixture manufactured in the ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accredited workflow at MilliporeSigma is the basis of the new qPQ test, which is now incorporated within the Bruker AssureSST software.
