<strong>automation</strong> studio<br />
integrated multi-instrument <strong>automation</strong> and experiment control with real-time data collection<br />
and data processing through a single application. <strong>Accelrys</strong> Automation Studio software<br />
accelerates experimental workflows and improves R&D productivity by automating and controlling<br />
multiple laboratory instruments. The system handles data collection/storage, real-time data<br />
processing, data analysis, searching and reporting—all within a single, easy-to-use application.<br />
ExEcutE simplE and<br />
complEx protocols<br />
Create multiple custom interfaces. Run protocols<br />
and receive real-time feedback on process variables<br />
using an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)<br />
that graphically renders the instrument. The simple<br />
instrument interface makes it straightforward<br />
for non-specialist, ‘walk-up’ operators to execute<br />
standard, predefined tasks incorporating laboratory<br />
best practices. It is also easy to configure more<br />
complex interfaces for use by specialists executing<br />
more demanding workflows.<br />

Configure the right access for the right user.<br />
Design different user interfaces for engineers<br />
who perform hardware setup and maintenance,<br />
for designers who create and troubleshoot<br />
experimental protocols and for operators who<br />
handle the day-to-day running of experiments.<br />

accElEratE ExpErimEnt ExEcution<br />
Reduce the learning curve while speeding productivity.<br />
Accelerate synthesis and screening by targeting the scientist’s<br />
workflow. The software integrates powder dispensing, liquid<br />
handling, heating, stirring, reactor control, chromatography,<br />
spectroscopy and image analysis, eliminating the need to manage<br />
and learn multiple software packages and minimizing training.<br />
ExtEnd systEm capabilitiEs<br />
Easily customize the system to meet enterprise requirements.<br />
Integrate with custom instruments, construct new algorithms,<br />
incorporate custom data analysis and create custom applications<br />
using the Software Developer Kit.<br />
collaboratE EffEctivEly<br />
Share protocols and data across experiments and groups. Capture<br />
experimental data in a single database, facilitating the retrieval<br />
and sharing of experimental protocols and data by globally<br />

distributed project teams. Powerful, out-of-the-box searching and<br />
reporting capabilities, available during and after runtime, enable<br />
researchers to search the database and create reports using<br />
Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet software or Adobe® PDF file format.<br />
intEgratE with ExpErimEnt dEsign<br />
Design experiments with <strong>Accelrys</strong> software. Use <strong>Accelrys</strong> Library<br />
Studio® software to specify libraries and experiments for a<br />
variety of applications including solubility, forced degradation,<br />
crystallization, pharmaceutical API salt selection, automated<br />
chromatography, sample preparation, formulation, polymer<br />
formulation, viscous sample formulation, coating preparation,<br />
coating characterization, organic/inorganic synthesis and<br />
homogeneous/heterogeneous catalyst screening.<br />
