Symyx Technologies has launched the Isentris 3.1 informatics system, designed to give scientists the freedom to create, manage and share fully searchable databases and to work offline.
The company said Isentris 3.1 provides an ideal transition point for ISIS to Isentris migration.
Isentris 3.1 functionality includes the creation, management, and sharing of fully searchable local databases with full insert, update, and delete capabilities.
This improves research and development productivity by enabling researchers to capture, annotate, and explore data in a familiar environment.
In addition, researchers can easily travel with their data or share project-critical information with external collaborators such as contract research organisations.
Local databases support business-critical workflows in the exchange and communication of scientific information between scientists and project groups.
Isentris provides interactive views of scientific information in a self-service environment.
Scientists can filter, sort, and cluster data themselves to see exactly what they need to make decisions.
Isentris 3.1 offers the following additional features: Support for local databases; molecule and reaction clustering; chemical structure searching in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets; molecule- and reaction-based enumeration of results into Isentris for Excel; support for polymers, mixtures, and formulations; and writable .NET controls for inserting, updating, and deleting data.
As part of the 3.1 release of Symyx Draw, Isentris 3.1 supports the creation and editing of Sgroup queries (polymers, formulations, and mixtures), Rgroup (Markush) queries and 3D queries.
Isentris 3.1 also offers name-to-structure/structure-to-name conversions; enhanced sketch cleaning; and powerful add-in software for converting structures, calculating molecular properties, and assessing spectroscopic parameters.
Symyx offers a fully supported, phased, low-risk transition path from ISIS to Isentris, preserving existing investments in Symyx chemistry representation and chemical registry and inventory, and enabling customers to pursue migration at their own pace, as budget and IT resources permit.
Compatible files and migration tools, along with coexistence of data, applications, and infrastructure, all facilitate a straightforward and cost-effective transition.
