A powerful, customizable, and extensible life science experiment management solution for capturing, processing, analyzing, and reporting low- to high-throughput in vitro and in vivo biological data.

Symyx Assay Explorer: A single, powerful biological data management system for capturing methodology and data. Analyze, report, and manage biological assay results faster and with better informed decisions.

Increase experiment throughput

• Capture assay data from a variety of assay types
• Analyze data in real time from an automated workstation or robotics solution
• Automatically determine hits or invalidate points based on pre-defined criteria
• Apply complex statistical analysis
• Optimize curve fits by automatically detecting and removing outliers and adjusting tunable parameters

Facilitate experiment workflows

• Capture multiple assay types from functional and specificity assays through ADMET, PK/PD, and in vivo assays
• Create and view experiments directly in Microsoft Excel while maintaining terminology and calculation consistency through Assay Explorer
• View curve fits, invalidate data points, apply statistical criteria, and store all results to the Oracle database
• Capture all data types as experimental results including images and documents
• Add complex custom models or equations
• Link to third-party tools for enhanced calculation capabilities

Assay Explorer Report Manager assembles and summarizes single- to multi-section reports, and integrates and delivers multiple sources across the organization, including chemical structures, into PDF, HTML, Word, or PowerPoint.

Integrate with other applications using:

• Symyx Registration to capture biological and chemical information
• Symyx Isentris for SAR analysis of captured information
• Symyx Plate Manager for efficient, accurate experimental design, data capture, and processing of sample information
• Symyx ChemBio AE to query and browse chemical and biological data together
• Symyx Assay Explorer Visualizer for powerful data visualization and statistics
• Industry-standard statistical analysis tools such as Pharsight WinNonlin and Graphpad Prism software

Flexible control for IT professionals

• Integrate in-house systems, laboratory automation, and third-party applications to fit workflows using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
• Customize the user interface for specific scientific workflows, add menu items, automate tasks, and implement specific data validation rules through the documented API
• Implement complex assay protocols from HTS to in vivo
• Control terminology through the dictionary manager, enhancing consistent data input and results retrieval
