Here’s a detailed explanation of our capabilities in HTS services software solution:
Data Management and Integration
Data Acquisition and Integration: Software solutions collect data from various sources, such as robotic platforms, liquid handlers, and detection systems. They integrate this data into a unified format for analysis.
Database Management: Efficient management of large datasets generated from HTS is crucial. Software solutions handle storage, retrieval, and organization of compound libraries, assay results, and experimental metadata.
Experimental Design and Automation
Workflow Automation: Software tools automate the design and execution of screening workflows. They can program robotic systems to perform tasks such as liquid handling, plate reading, and data collection.
Protocol Management: Software manages experimental protocols, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across different screening runs.
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Statistical Analysis: HTS generates large amounts of data that need to be analyzed statistically. Software tools perform data normalization, statistical analysis, and visualization to identify significant hits and trends.
Hit Identification: Algorithms and software tools are used to identify potential hits or active compounds from screening data. This includes the application of various criteria such as Z'-factor, signal-to-noise ratio, and activity thresholds.
Data Visualization
Visualization Tools: Software provides graphical representations of screening data, such as heat maps, scatter plots, and dose-response curves, to facilitate interpretation and decision-making.
Dashboard Creation: Interactive dashboards allow users to view and analyze screening data in real-time, providing insights into experimental outcomes and trends.
Integration with Instrumentation
Instrument Control: Software interfaces with laboratory instruments (e.g., plate readers, liquid handlers) to control their operations and collect data.
Data Synchronization: Ensures that data from different instruments are synchronized and integrated for comprehensive analysis.
Quality Control and Validation
Quality Control: Software tools monitor and ensure the quality of data by performing checks for consistency, accuracy, and reliability.
Validation and Reporting: Generates reports for validation purposes, documenting the screening process and results for regulatory compliance and internal review.
Workflow Optimization
Optimization Algorithms: Software tools optimize screening workflows by adjusting parameters such as reagent concentrations, assay conditions, and plate layouts.
Process Automation: Automates repetitive tasks and integrates with robotics to increase throughput and efficiency.
Collaboration and Data Sharing
Collaborative Platforms: Enable sharing of data and findings across research teams and institutions, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Data Security and Access Control: Ensures that sensitive data is protected and that access is controlled based on user roles and permissions.
Integration with Other Systems
ERP and CRM Integration: Integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems for tracking inventory, managing orders, and handling customer data.
Bioinformatics Integration: Integration with bioinformatics tools for further analysis of biological data and prediction of compound activities.
