Optibrium will showcase its Starvue software at the 2010 Spring ACS National Meeting and Exposition, to take place 21-25 March in San Francisco, California.
Starvue is a free desktop application that enables scientists to quickly and conveniently view compound structures and data.
It eliminates the need for expensive plug-ins for Microsoft Excel to examine, sort and search chemistry data sets.
Visitors to Optibrium's booth at ACS Spring will receive a copy of Starvue.
This free and easy-to-use desktop application is specifically designed for scientists that want a simple way to load a set of molecule structures and easily browse through the data.
Starvue allows users to simply load, scroll though, sort and manage data in a new way, providing the ability to view and manipulate chemical structures.
The pioneering Starvue application offers two ways to look at data; a traditional table that can be easily configured to display data according to user preference, or Starvue's 'Molecule View', which summarises all of the data for a compound on a single screen.
This innovative visual interface lets users smoothly scroll through the data set and visualise the molecule in a unique way, offering an interactive system to simply flick though images of chemical structures.
Within Starvue, data can be organised, sorted and viewed according to the user's preference.
Multiple data sheets can be opened at the same time, while properties can be hidden, allowing users to select what they want to view.
Starvue simplifies the merging of data sets and means there is no practical limit to the amount of data.
Compounds can be loaded into Starvue from SD, SMILES, MOL or CSV files, as well as data files created with Optibrium's Stardrop platform.
Interesting compounds can be selected from the data set and exported for more detailed investigation and entire data sets or summaries of individual molecules can be printed directly from Starvue.
Users can print from table view, which provides a print-out of the molecule properties or can print out the specific molecule view of a compound.
Data can also be exported out.
Free Starvue support is available via Optibrium's website.
