Symbion Systems Announces Integration of its Process Analytical Technology Software With Infometrix' Chemometrics Technology
Symbion Systems SCI-IP01 software driver can now interface with the Infometrix line of chemometrics products. The combination of the Symbion and Infometrix Software products provides a comprehensive capability for process analytical methods development and on-line deployment.


TUSTIN, CA, February 27, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Symbion Systems, Inc., a leader in providing analytical instrument control, analysis, and connectivity software, today announced the availability of its SCI-IP01 software driver to interface with the Infometrix line of chemometrics products. The new driver facilitates the integration of chemometric calibrations developed using Infometrix' Pirouette multivariate analysis program into methods developed using Symbion-DX and RX Process Analytical Technology (PAT) software. The combination of the Symbion and Infometrix Software products provides a comprehensive capability for process analytical methods development and on-line deployment.

Pharmaceutical industries have long struggled with the real-time data acquisition of in-line, at-line, on-line and off-line data. Alignment of all these data in a consistent and structured way is important in order to predict product quality based on Multivariate Models. Integration of Symbion solutions with the Infometrix' technology provides users all of the predictive and diagnostic tools found in Pirouette configured in a way that allows real time process monitoring.

Symbion-DX and RX provides standardized platforms for controlling a wide range of spectrometers and other analytical instruments. In addition, they feature extensive data manipulation and application development capabilities as well as the ability to communicate with numerous third party programs and enterprise-wide data systems. In short, the Symbion programs streamline the development of comprehensive analytical methods encompassing instrument and sample system control, data analysis, process trending, database archiving, and reporting to enterprise-wide data systems. Each method is permanently stored in the Symbion data base and is under full version control, compliant with 21 CFR Pat 11. Once validated, a method can be recalled from the data base and downloaded for deployment at multiple instrumentation locations.

"We believe that the integration of the Infometrix and Symbion products will be significant in process analytical technology, especially for pharmaceutical & bio-pharmaceutical manufacturer," said Dr. W. Michael Doyle, Symbion's CEO. "Pirouette is already used by many major pharmaceutical firms. The ability to run Pirouette models directly within Symbion scripts will accelerate the development and on-line deployment of comprehensive locked-down process analytical methods."

"We have long invested our time and effort into more seamless integration of chemometrics technology with instrument systems," said Dr. Brian Rohrback, Infometrix's president and CEO. "In the Symbion product line, I see the best integration of a uniform control technology that interfaces with a vast array of instruments from many different vendors. It is the ideal product to integrate with our core technology."
