Last week, we announced our new Idea Tracker, an extension to StarDrop which facilitates collaborative design and informed decision making, maximising the efficiency of your workflows. Idea Tracker comes as part of our latest StarDrop upgrade, StarDrop 7.6. It’s not the only exciting feature of StarDrop 7.6 - this upgrade also includes: 🌟Added R-group decomposition functionality, with a more comprehensive, flexible toolset to define scaffolds, variables, R-groups and linkers 🌟Improvements to Card View matched molecular pairs and activity neighbourhoods to support your data analysis 🌟Enhanced scaffold-based library enumeration in Nova – save time by defining multiple scaffolds, and get R-group suggestions to add to your enumeration quickly and easily 🌟An updated ChEMBL database for matched series analysis, and an updated Derek Nexus library to improve toxicity predictions If you’re a StarDrop user and have other features you’d like to see, then get in touch – we're always looking to improve our platforms! If you're not currently a StarDrop user, you can discover all its features supporting small molecule design, optimisation and data analysis at https://lnkd.in/eGc7Rw5d #DrugDiscovery #SoftwareUpgrades #LibraryEnumeration #Cheminformatics #RGroupDecomposition #ChEMBL #MatchedMolecularPairs

Bringing a new product to market isn't easy, but I’m proud to introduce BugScents Sentry Pro this week, the result of over ten years of rigorous scientific research and dedicated effort by our talented teams at Arctech Innovation and LSHTM. Inspired by nature and driven by our passion for science and innovation, this launch marks a significant milestone in our journey. Our story began in the labs, where we discovered that bed bugs produce a pheromone that attracts other bed bugs. From this discovery, we developed a formulation that consistently releases this pheromone over at least three months, creating an effective attractant technology. Attracting bed bugs to a trap is challenging, but getting them to enter the trap is even more difficult. Many existing trap designs fail because bed bugs are reluctant to enter, or don’t stay there. This is where Arctech Innovation’s unique expertise in insect behavior, olfaction and product design shines. BugScents Sentry Pro exemplifies not only scientific ingenuity but also our unwavering commitment to solving real-world problems with innovative, nature-based solutions.

Last month, SMT's 'Inspector Lab' focused on the microbial properties of various surfaces and containers such as glass, steel and plastic. Listen to some thoughts from members of our SMT Team in this interview, as we discuss this topic in our video series. Follow our social pages for the next few months as we continue to inspect and investigate microorganisms and their behaviour in and around our daily lives. #InspectorLab #SMTLabs #VETLab #MicrobiologyTesting #HealthandSafety #PublicHealthAwareness

Mission Ready Water Update: The World of Innovation   At BluMetric we are dedicated to advancing water purification technology through strong collaborations with academic partners in research and development.    A long-standing academic partner recently reached out to BluMetric to see if we could design and build a custom frame-mounted Reverse Osmosis (RO) pilot system for ultra-high pressure and recovery applications, well beyond conventional RO systems.    Our partner wanted to run experiments in automatic continuous flux or pressure modes to allow the system to operate on lab source waters up to 80,000ppm, which is over twice the salinity of typical seawater; they came to BluMetric for a solution.    BluMetric built a 1200psi RO solution for very high recovery applications and is a step towards zero liquid discharge, a great technological advancement in this water purification process.    Stay tuned for more updates as BluMetric remains committed to enhancing operational capabilities of our Mission Ready Water solutions through the world of innovation. #MissionReadyWater #Innovation #ReverseOsmosis #CleanTech #ResearchAndDevelopment #Sustainability #EnvironmentalSolutions
