The FAIR data guidelines are central to effective data management and the ability to leverage institutional knowledge. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the concepts. Read about the goals and benefits of FAIR data for scientists and the organization; and practical considerations for implementation.

There are a number of common misconceptions about software in validated environments. Many arise because previous deployments of software accompanied the installation of new hardware, or have involved informatics systems that are the source of data and reports submitted directly to regulatory authorities. Here we clear up some of the grey areas that seem to have become industry myths.

Why pKa Values are Relevant to Scientists in Pharma/BioTech Many of the small molecules under investigation in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical labs are susceptible to ionization. While the composition of positively charged molecules (cations), negatively charged molecules (anions), and molecules with groups that are both positively and negatively charged (zwitterions) differs by therapeutic area and drug...

1H NMR is the go-to technique to help identify or confirm the structure of organic compounds. A solution-state proton spectrum is relatively fast to acquire and a lot of information about the structure of a compound can be deduced from it. With centuries of combined experience in NMR data interpretation, we thought we’d share the basics of analyzing solution-phase 1H NMR spectra in this blog.
