Driving Efficiency, Flexibility, and Creativity
by Automating Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis
Routines
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) today introduced Symphony™ Data
Pipeline software, a client-server application for laboratories
acquiring and archiving large amounts of data. Symphony software
automates the movement and transformation of large amounts of LC-MS
data to speed up analytical workflows and save time, reduce human
error, and liberate scientists from the mundane yet necessary tasks
associated with managing data files.
“Just the simple step of being able to seamlessly and
automatically copy raw files to a remote file location while a
column is conditioning, maximizes the time we can use the
instrument for analysis,” said Dr. Paul Skipp, Director of the
Proteomics Research Centre, University of Southampton. “Previously
the mass spectrometer might stand idle for one to two hours while
an operator copies data to a filestore in preparation for
processing. With three Synapt mass spectrometers generating data
24/7 in our laboratory, this alone is a major advance.”
Symphony Data Pipeline can create efficiencies for laboratories
in other ways too.
“We see great value in the modular nature of Symphony Data
Pipeline. It allows us to rapidly develop and test new processes
for handling experimental data, including real-time QC, prospective
fault detection, and tools for ensuring data integrity,” said Jake
Pearce, Informatics Manager, MRC-NIHR National Phenome Centre,
Imperial College, London. “Not just that, but it can save months of
processing time and, in combination with noise reduction, petabytes
of file storage.”
Symphony software allows scientists to “personalize” the
processing of their UPLC®-MS data acquired by Waters® MassLynx®
Mass Spectrometry Software. Once acquired, Symphony software
executes actions against the data files. These actions could
include moving the data file to a server; subtracting background
noise; compressing, renaming and copying data; or running a series
of executables on the data. Users can also design and implement
their own set of data processing tasks. This series of operations,
known as a pipeline, is set up by the operator and it occurs in the
background as soon as the data is acquired by either a single PC, a
network of PCs, or PCs connected to a network of laboratories.
Symphony Data Pipeline software is compatible with Microsoft®
Windows® 7 (64 bit) professional edition operating system and is
available immediately worldwide from Waters.
Symphony software will be the subject of a presentation by Dr.
Paul Skipp of the University of Southhampton, at Waters
Corporation’s Mass Spectrometry Users Meeting, Saturday, June 4,
2016 at the 64th American Society for Mass Spectrometry meeting in
San Antonio, TX.
