November 8, 2010 – Symbion Systems released a driver for EnWave Optronics Raman spectrometers. The driver integrates all of the functions of the EnWave instruments into the Symbion-DX and RX analytical instrument software suites, providing a comprehensive capability for both laboratory development and on-line chemical process monitoring. The availability of the full range of Symbion functionality broadens the already substantial capability of the EnWave analyzers by allowing them to operate as autonomous analytical systems provided with complete sample system control, database storage (including store and forward capability), and integral chemometric modeling and prediction.
Symbion-DX and RX provide 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, Symbion-DX and RX 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 database and is under full version control, compliant with 21 CFR Part 11.
Once validated, a method can be recalled from the database and downloaded for deployment at multiple instrumentation locations.
