There are a number of common misconceptions about software in validated environments. Many arise because previous deployments of software accompanied the installation of new hardware, or have involved informatics systems that are the source of data and reports submitted directly to regulatory authorities. Here we clear up some of the grey areas that seem to have become industry myths.

Efficiency in R&D helps us be more productive, optimize, and innovate. Our recent virtual symposium “Driving Efficiency with Spectrus” brought together scientists from industry-leading organizations (like GSK, AstraZeneca, Genentech, and more) to share strategies that they have implemented, to: Accelerate structure elucidation and verification by NMR and LC/MS Make method development efficient, robust, and sustainable...

Scientists and IT at AstraZeneca combined their expertise and knowledge to centralize analytical data management in a cloud-based solution and make immediately re-usable data available throughout discovery, development, and for machine learning applications. Read how their automated system—integrated with analytical instruments, their ELN, and archive—is delivering real benefits.

Creating systems for effectively managing analytical chemistry data requires a blend of scientific understanding, technological prowess, and coordinating between teams. That’s why ACD/Labs’ project management team has a critical role to play when deploying analytical chemistry solutions. In this episode, hosts Sarah and Jesse discuss project management with Hans de Bie, who has helped many...

This Halloween, we will explore how data “dies” and why you can’t bring it back to life. Not only that, but we will discover the secret of how you can keep your analytical data alive… forever!

Sarah’s analytical team at Genentech support medicinal chemists in Discovery and have deployed ACD/Labs technology to manage their LC/MS/MS, 1D NMR, and 2D NMR data. Learn about their analytical data management system and how they’re leveraging data to speed up structure elucidation and verification workflows, reduce experimentation; and make the data available to downstream colleagues...

Getting Control of Extractables and Leachables Data Many medicines come in a container, whether a bottle, blister pack, syringe, or inhaler. We rarely think about these container-closure systems, but what if they adversely interacted with our medicines or slowly released a toxic contaminant? Extractables and leachables (E&L) is a specialization within pharmaceutical development that studies...
