February 26, 2010 – Symbion Systems announced SCI-IP01 software driver to interface with the Infometrix line of chemometrics products. The driver facilitates the integration of chemometric calibrations developed using Infometrix’ Pirouette multivariate analysis program into methods developed using Symbion-DX and RX Process Analytical Technology (PAT) software. The combination of the Symbion and Infometrix Software products provides a comprehensive capability for process analytical methods development and on-line deployment. Pharmaceutical industries have long struggled with the real-time data acquisition of in-line, at-line, on-line and off-line data.
Alignment of all these data in a consistent and structured way is important in order to predict product quality based on Multivariate Models. Integration of Symbion solutions with the Infometrix’ technology provides users all of the predictive and diagnostic tools found in Pirouette configured in a way that allows real time process monitoring.Symbion-DX and RX provides standardized platforms for controlling a wide range of spectrometers and other analytical instruments. In addition, they feature extensive data manipulation and application development capabilities as well as the ability to communicate with numerous third party programs and enterprise-wide data systems.
In short, the Symbion programs streamline the development of comprehensive analytical methods encompassing instrument and sample system control, data analysis, process trending, database archiving, and reporting to enterprise-wide data systems. Each method is permanently stored in the Symbion data base and is under full version control, compliant with 21 CFR Pat 11. Once validated, a method can be recalled from the data base and downloaded for deployment at multiple instrumentation locations.
