Symyx Solubility Benchtop System Available
19 Aug 2007Product news
Symyx Technologies, Inc. today announced availability of an automated system designed to prepare hundreds of samples for determining API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) solubility in different solutions.
The Symyx Benchtop System, winner of the Association for Laboratory Automation’s 2007 New Product Award, automates parallel processing of multiple steps of experimental procedures on one deck. The Solubility application integrates solid powder and liquid dispense on the same platform with weighing capabilities, supported by Symyx Software, for use in pharmaceutical research and development.
The Solubility Benchtop System comes with:
- miniaturized materials preparation capabilities (dispensing capabilities for low viscosity aqueous and organic solutions, viscous vehicles, and powder materials)
- sample processing capabilities (heating, cooling, mixing, and filtration)
- sample analysis capabilities (weights, pH, imaging)
- automated instrument control
- an upgrade path to an integrated workflow which aggregates analytical data from multiple instruments into a single database for visualization and analysis

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.Compound AnalysisCompound analysis is used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds have the desired effect, such as interaction with a target protein, during high throughput screening.
