Analytical Data Management for R&D

Spectrus ADMS offers a vendor-neutral approach to managing, standardizing, contextualizing, and retrieving analytical data. It enables you to leverage analytical chemistry data across the enterprise.

 

Unlike ELNs, LIMS, or instrument vendor software, Spectrus ADMS adds a scientific intelligence layer that enables you to transform analytical data into scientific knowledge.

Aggregate raw analytical data from all major analytical instrument vendors and techniques in one software interface

Preserve the fidelity of analytical data. Don’t reduce rich analytical data to images and tables of numerical results 

Standardize processing and interpretation workflows; allow live reprocessing when necessary.

Enable interoperability (via *.JSON or *.ASM export) and scientifically intelligent retrieval and AI/ML readiness

Preserve the Scientific Context of Analytical Data

Analytical laboratories generate enormous volumes of valuable data from chromatography, spectroscopy, spectrometry, and analytical chemistry workflows. 

Yet, that data remains fragmented across instrument software, informatics systems, shared drives, PDFs, static reports, and disconnected databases. 

Transform analytical data from >150 instrument vendor formats into structured, searchable, interoperable scientific knowledge, with Spectrus ADMS.

      What Our Customers Are Saying

      Quote from Dr. Zarko Kulic

      "Having access to a reference database of fully interpreted analytical data means we don’t have to solve the same structure multiple times. Quick identification of known compounds allows us to concentrate on investigating the unknowns. We can combine our data and simplify our workflows, enabling easy, centralized access to information for data mining."

      Dr. Zarko Kulic Schwabe Pharmaceuticals

      Quote from David Foley

      "We have a fully searchable, gold standard database of NMR and mass spectra. It can be searched by PF number [Pfizer compound number], structure, and substructure. Scientists can do spectral matches. They can input NMR or mass spec and quickly answer the question “is there a spectrum or compound in the database that matches closely?” Time spent searching for information is way down."

      David Foley Pfizer

      Quote from Steve Thomas

      "GSK have been using a global ADMS system with NMR, MS, and biotransformation data in place for over a decade. We are generating knowledge too fast to stay in people’s heads. This has helped create a repository of knowledge that doesn’t forget, doesn’t go senile, doesn’t retire, and doesn’t leave the company for a competitor."

      Steve Thomas GSK

      Quote from Pankaj Aggarwal

      I don’t need to go into my ELN, to call my friend and ask for method conditions or search for the method conditions from LIMS. I have it readily available and I can go and try to repeat the method in the lab.
