en-us See what new integrated solutions are available from Symyx by participating in online interactive meetings with our experts. We are an organization of scientists working to provide you with solutions to your research and development needs. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/index.jsp#webinars Need more results then your existing infrastructure can provide? Access on-demand testing capability and data creation targeting preformulation solubility, solid-form selection and stability as well as chemical development process screening and optimization. Explore a greater experimental space with client directed and collaborative research services. Access comprehensive data set in days not months, giving your scientists the data, the time and the freedom they need to analyze and draw conclusions to capitalize on that knowledge. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/other_events/2008/080522-research/index.jsp Most labs today are facing increasing pressure to run more samples, on more techniques and methods, more efficiently, and to make results available quicker. The use of automation and integration offers the ability to rapidly prepare samples in a more consistent fashion for a variety of methods and procedures. We will review how to effectively prepare and workup samples of powders, slurries, solutions, and viscous liquids on one single automation platform. The discussion will cover case studies, the accuracy that can be achieved in consistently preparing samples, and the improved throughput while maintaining required analytical accuracy. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/other_events/2008/080528-automation/index.jsp Extensive pre-formulation studies, including identification of crystalline forms, are typically needed to select the most stable and bioavailable form of a drug substance. Careful polymorph studies can preempt costly late-stage complications in drug development and provide life cycle options by yielding multiple polymorphs as intellectual properties. However, such studies are generally conducted at a time in the discovery process in which precious little drug substance is available. In collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies, Symyx developed an integrated workflow optimized for polymorph and salt selection studies that allows researchers to explore a broader experimental design space, in parallel, with less starting material. Researchers, starting with as little as 500 mg of compound, can prepare, screen, and analyze a single library of up to 384 different formulations in 4 days. Critical elements of the integrated workflow, including a universal substrate for analyzing samples, a device to maintain thermal uniformity during filtration, and software that simplifies experimental design and data analysis will be presented with results of a polymorph case study. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/other_events/2008/080529-hts/index.jsp For high-throughput screening biologists involved in lead generation and optimization, this Web seminar explores how Symyx Notebook and Symyx Assay Explorer together support the effective design, execution and capture of biological assays in a collaborative research environment. Learn how to access, analyze and share high-throughput screening assays using a single, enterprise electronic laboratory notebook in tandem with a powerful, customizable and extensible life science experiment management solution. http://www.mdl.com/company/events/other_events/2008/080530-notebook/index.jsp
