Zinsser Analytic and ACD/Labs Collaborating For the Betterment of High-Throughput Science
Toronto, Canada and Northridge, CA (January 15, 2007)—ACD/Labs and Zinsser Analytic are establishing an open relationship to better serve the Drug Discovery and Material Science communities by ensuring that existing and future technologies offered by both companies work together to meet the needs of customers.
Zinsser helps develop workbench automation systems for drug discovery and material-science development, and provides liquid handling, combinatorial chemistry, preformulation, and solubility screening capabilities. Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) offers scientific software that brings together analytical data from different sources, using chemically and spectroscopically-aware algorithms, facilitating combinatorial and high-throughput screening data interpretation and management. Both companies realized that for their mutual clients, integrating Zinsser’s hardware with ACD/Labs’ software would provide a solution that that was even more valuable than the sum of its parts. Run more experiments with Zinsser’s hardware, then interpret, manage, and share the results with ACD/Labs’ software.
“Managing diverse data sources and their associated metadata can be a headache for many scientists working with medium and high-throughput data,” said Michael Boruta, Optical Spectroscopy Product Manager, ACD/Labs. “Our software working together with the Zinsser hardware can automate much of the data processing, management, and analysis burden faced by our mutual customers.”
Clifford Olson, President of Zinsser NA, added, “Our solution platforms provide our customers with a reliable means to automate many types of experiments. Working with ACD/Labs’ software to automate the management of the resulting data will help our customers more quickly realize the benefits of doing high-throughput experiments, and provide them with a more complete solution.”
