In high throughput screening—where researchers can conduct millions of biochemical, genetic or pharmacological tests in a short period of time—data results quickly reach enormous volumes. Software designed to manage and analyze this information is indispensable. In many enterprises, screening software is being enhanced by the addition of visual analytics solutions. Visual analytics allows researchers to examine their data visually, so they can more easily gain insights about trends, patterns, outliers and unexpected relationships. In major pharmaceutical companies around the world, Spotfire is a leading choice for expanding the power and speed of screening software.
Through a number of visualizations, researchers can query data, get immediate answers, view it from multiple perspectives and integrate information from multiple sources. Dynamic query devices give users the ability to change parameters and filters with a
mouse click. Because the data environment is user driven, changes and visuals are redrawn instantly, allowing users to gain faster insight they can use to speed development and time to market. Spotfire helps scientists examine the large datasets generated from current and emerging screening technologies throughout the screening process. From primary screening quality control and hit selection through to confirmation and potency screening analysis; Spotfire provides a single analytics platform to support both the routine analysis as well as the analyses necessary to respond to the unexpected. Screening groups that use Spotfire are more efficient through faster production cycles, higher quality results, and a simpler IT setup.
"Spotfire visualizations allow screening biologists to produce higher quality data." -Magnus Kjellberg, Senior Research Scientist, AstraZeneca HTS Centre, Sweden
