Extractable and Leachable (E&L) testing requires scientists to gather, analyze, and curate immense amounts of analytical data. Facing the challenge of identifying hundreds of potential unknowns with no commercial databases to search from is no small feat. Using the structure verification and knowledge management capabilities in MS Structure ID Suite, Medtronic has created a data-handling...

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a valuable tool that can give you vast amounts of MS data to help you identify and quantify components. MS has been used to discover, determine, and quantify sample compounds in the proteomics, metabolomics, imaging, and glycomics applications across the food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries. Combining MS with appropriate software and computer technology allows the possibility for more extensive applications. But first, we must understand the basics.

AstraZeneca uses ACD/Labs software to make analytical data accessible as part of their Global Analytical Database. In this presentation, you’ll get an overview of how this database is used by chemists and analysts for data processing, data storage, and knowledge sharing. Two case studies are also shown to highlight how access to centralized data can...

Sanofi partnered with ACD/Labs to develop an automated lab tool combining LC/MS and 1H NMR to help organic chemists efficiently verify their structures. This tool collects, compiles, and evaluates the analytical data and the proposed structure once they are available, and sends the results to the chemist. The pilot project for this system is presented...
