In the modern world, digital computing systems and technologies are used everywhere to support our society. In this episode, we are joined by ACD/Labs Vice President of Innovation and Informatics Strategy, Andrew Anderson, and Strategic Partnerships Director, Graham McGibbon to discuss the role of digitalization and digital transformation in the context of pharmaceutical research and development.

Andrew and Graham share their thoughts on what digital transformation looks like in business and in the lab, highlighting the importance of digitalizing data to enhance productivity and quality across the board.

In this episode, ACD/Labs Senior Director of Technical and Scientific Services, Karim Kassam joins hosts Jesse and Bally to dive deeper into the importance of ionization. He gives us some insight into the tools available to help accurately predict pKa along with some hints and tips to help improve accuracy in predictions.

MilliporeSigma’s new online digital reference platform, Chemistwin® is a trail blazing digital tool to accelerate workflows in the analytical laboratory.

In this episode, ChemisTwin® Project Lead Coralie Leonard and R&D Scientist Albert Farre Perez join hosts Sarah and Bally to dive deeper into the driving factors of MilliporeSigma’s reference material business transformation process. They also give us a glimpse into the first version of the platform, and how it will progress to reshape the world of analytical testing.

Computational chemistry tools are becoming more powerful every day. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data... what does it all mean and how does it apply to the chemistry lab?

Season 2 of the Analytical Wavelength explores how predictive technology is shaping the future of science. In this episode, we explore the fundamentals of machine learning, and separate the reality from the hype.

Efficiency in R&D helps us be more productive, optimize, and innovate. Our recent virtual symposium “Driving Efficiency with Spectrus” brought together scientists from industry-leading organizations (like GSK, AstraZeneca, Genentech, and more) to share strategies that they have implemented, to:

• Accelerate structure elucidation and verification by NMR and LC/MS
• Make method development efficient, robust, and sustainable
• Manage high throughput chemical and analytical data to speed research

This episode recaps all 8 presentations and how t to help recaps all 8 presentations and how ACD/Labs’ software on the Spectrus Platform was used to support these workflows.

Creating systems for effectively managing analytical chemistry data requires a blend of scientific understanding, technological prowess, and coordinating between teams. That’s why ACD/Labs’ project management team has a critical role to play when deploying analytical chemistry solutions.

In this episode, hosts Sarah and Jesse discuss project management with Hans de Bie, who has helped many global research companies deploy enterprise analytical data management solutions. The conversation covers both what it takes to effectively manage your data, and how to manage projects successfully.

We all know that data is powerful, but are you maximizing your data?

Our very own Jesse Harris recently attended ACS Fall 2023, where the theme this year was “Harnessing the Power of Data”. Not only did he present, but he also conducted a survey to gather intel about the use of chemical software. Speaking with a variety of backgrounds, Jesse delved into details about analytical data processing software uses and challenges.

This conversation with Jesse lets us dive a little deeper into the responses to his survey and discusses some data handling highlights from ACS.

Season 4 of the Analytical Wavelength is about to get started! To kick off the season we wanted to share a bonus episode based on a webinar ACD/Labs ran a couple of months ago on the topic of analytical data management. What is the current state of analytical data, and what are the challenges chemists are facing?
