Assay Design

A user-friendly guide for the evaluation of microbiological assays, Microbiological Assay for Pharmaceutical Analysis: A Rational Approach provides a lucid explanation of the sources of error in microbiological assay and helps analysts choose efficient assay designs that will minimize those sources of error.

Honeywell unveiled UniSim Design Suite R451, the latest functional release of Honeywell’s process simulation technology. UniSim Design Suite is part of Honeywell’s family of simulation software and engineering solutions for process simulation, design, analysis, performance monitoring, optimization and business planning for the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical and power industries.

Basics and Advances in Drug Design and CADD

Microfluidics-based biochips, also known as lab-on-a-chip or bio-MEMS, are becoming increasingly popular for DNA analysis, clinical diagnostics, and the detection/manipulation of bio-molecules. As the use of microfluidics-based biochips increases, their complexity is expected to become significant due to the need for multiple and concurrent assays on the chip, as well as more sophisticated control mechanisms for resource management. Time-to-market and fault tolerance are also expected to emerge as design considerations. As a result, current full-custom design techniques will not scale well for larger designs. There is a need to deliver the same level of CAD support to the biochip designer that the semiconductor industry now takes for granted.
