Two new software products for analytical instrument connectivity, compliance, and control are available from Axiom Analytical and Symbion Systems. Symbion-RX is the first standardized PAT software package for pharmaceutical process analysis. Symbion-LX is completely up-to-date and yet economical software for laboratory and process development operation of all spectrometers. These products will be on display at Pittcon, booth 4513.Symbion-RX operates most spectrometers and many other process analytical instruments while providing the all of the capabilities required for on-line analysis along with the safeguards important to pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is based directly on the Symbion-DX Process Analytical Software Suite. However, in contrast to Symbion-DX, the -RX version is specifically tailored to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry. In particular, it adds a number of features designed to streamline the validation of manufacturing processes by making compliance as automatic as possible and minimizing the need for supplementary standard operating procedures.Symbion-RX shares many of the advanced features of Symbion-DX, including:
- Standardized control and networking of multiple instruments and sample systems.
- Standardized SQL data format
- Standardized chemometrics interface
- Real-time trending of predictions and other process variables
- Rapid applications development
- Transparent interfacing to data historians and other systems
- 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
