Products and Press Releases

OpenEye Scientific Software has released Ogham and LexiChem, programs that handle 2D rendering, naming of compounds and the generation of structures from names. The company has focused on software for 3D modelling, but, for communication between chemists, names and 2D renderings are extremely important.

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) has delivered chemical information, including structures, via live interaction using BlackBerry and other handheld devices, opening up the opportunity to retrieve hundreds of literature references as well as molecular structure and related data for specific substances in real time. CAS will be making this mobile route to scientific databases, called CAS Mobile, available through its STN and SciFinder services in the near future. Users will be able to retrieve and analyse information from CAS' principal databases, CAplus and CAS Registry.

Synergy Software has released KaleidaGraph 4.0, containing significant axes improvements and other enhancements to its graphing and data analysis toolsets.

Syngene, which manufactures image-analysis solutions, has introduced a new range of GeneGnome automated image analysers, designed for imaging chemiluminescent samples.

The new system comes complete with a 16-bit cooled camera inside a compact, light-tight cabinet, and a new white-light source for the added flexibility of imaging coloured markers. The camera is fully integrated to a processor and flat-screen monitor for easy viewing and offers fast and accurate molecular weight analysis.
