Welcome to the Adept Scientific Press Room

Adept Scientific is pleased to announce the release of CambridgeSoft’s BioOffice Ultra 2006 – the ultimate assay, pathway & visualisation suite. BioOffice Ultra 2006 allows you to work with and manage your biological data more effectively, providing an effective method to capture test results for biological experiments and manage biological assay. It also provides an unmatched level of uniformity and detail in your drawing and annotating of biological pathways, as well as flexible storage, retrieval and analysis of biological data – allowing complex lead optimisation experiments, whilst allowing the quick set up of biological models.

BioOffice Ultra 2006 comprises a whole suite of powerful desktop tools that provide biologists with the resources, tools and knowledge to dramatically improve the way they work and the quality of the results they produce. These include BioDraw Ultra 10.0 for drawing, annotating, sharing and presenting biological pathways; BioAssay Ultra 10.0 – the cornerstone of BioOffice – which provides flexible storage, retrieval and analysis of biological data; BioViz Ultra 10.0, which allows the user to combine biological data with chemical structures; Bio3D Ultra 10.0, provides building, visualisation, and computation tools on the desktop; Inventory Ultra 10.0, the desktop application designed which delivers much of the functionality of
CambridgeSoft’s Enterprise level applications; and E-Notebook Ultra 10.0, which is the most efficient and accurate way to write lab notebook entries as part of the daily work process.

BioDraw Ultra 10.0 makes it easy to draw biological pathways. Common pathway elements (membranes, DNA, enzymes, receptors, reaction arrows, etc.) are built in, and other elements can be imported. The pathways users create with BioDraw can be exported for use in presentations, grant proposals, and publications.

BioAssay Ultra 10.0 is designed for complex lead optimisation experiments, the software supports the quick set-up of biological models. Users model an assay mathematically in BioAssay to organise their data, perform automatic calculations and create plots.

BioViz Ultra 10.0 allows any user to analyse structure-related data combined with biological data visually, which is extremely important in any drug discovery environment.

Bio3D Ultra 10.0 can be used to display many types of molecular surfaces and molecular orbitals. For macromolecules, Bio3D can render cartoon depictions of proteins and nucleic acids making it possible to carry out state-of-the-art protein visualisation on the desktop.

Inventory Ultra 10.0 allows users to manage their chemical and non-chemical inventory data. Inventory is a complete desktop tool which provides an electronic representation of your site’s physical inventory and a desktop tool for sourcing and purchasing. Users can easily create, edit, move and delete containers, and the cascading location model allows support of locations as general or specific as is desired.

E-Notebook Ultra 10.0 stores Microsoft Office documents, ChemDraw structures and reaction drawings, and related data in an electronic notebook that can be searched by text or chemical structure. Users organise pages by project, experiment, or according to their own style with Access.

BioOffice Ultra 2006 also ships with a broad selection of searchable chemical and biological databases.
