During the upcoming SLAS 2024 event, Discngine, a software solutions provider for the pharmaceutical industry, is set to announce the launch of its Assay Catalog. This new addition to the Discngine Assay suite is also available as an independent module designed to integrate into any Research IT ecosystem.
Assay Catalog is designed to systematically enhance experimental results with detailed contextual information, ensuring consistency with corporate annotation standards. This tool is intended to assist drug discovery project teams by offering a centralized source of information across diverse assays and laboratories.
A significant feature of Assay Catalog is its versatility in enriching a wide range of experimental results, including biological context for various screening results. By standardizing context descriptions at a corporate level, Assay Catalog guarantees that results are properly characterized before being integrated into data warehouses.
This allows for access to experimental information via biologically-informed queries across the organization, aiding in the interpretation and consolidation of results for improved decision-making. Assay Catalog supports a wide range of assays, including physicochemical, in-vitro, in-vivo, DMPK, toxicology, and assay panels, with each assay registered with standardized properties linked to public or proprietary ontologies and target repositories.
Laboratory experiment results are also precisely annotated in alignment with these assay definitions. Additionally, results are aggregated at various levels of the compound hierarchy (compound/batch/sample) to support project teams in their research.
The key benefits of Discngine Assay and Assay Catalog are:
- Enabling FAIR: Discngine Assay acts as a robust backbone in your lab, streamlining the process to FAIRify assay data, ensuring that your research data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable
- Ontologies Ready: With Assay Catalog, Discngine simplifies the complex task of assay annotation, enhancing the precision and clarity of data utilizing ontologies and facilitating a more structured and informative approach to data management.
- Saas Solution: Discngine Assay offers a secure cloud hosting and maintenance solution, adhering to the high standards of ISO27001 certification, which ensures data integrity and security in a cloud-based environment.
- APls and Services: The system is designed for easy integration with various assay management systems, including those developed by Discngine and other providers, offering a flexible and user-friendly interface for a seamless workflow.
The announcement at SLAS 2024 reflects Discngine’s ongoing commitment to providing practical solutions for the research industry, particularly in the area of drug discovery and development.
