Fast new crystal data import and moving modelsenhance INCA Crystal

A fast new method for viewing, importing and editingcrystal structures, and the dynamic display of crystalorientation during data acquisition are among the sig-ni® cant bene® ts now available to users of the INCAmicroanalysis suite from Oxford Instruments Analytical.

Analytical’ s PC-based INCA platform is already veryhighly regarded for its powerful high-accuracy analysiscapability and ease of use. New features in the latest issuesoftware (issue 12) oå er both new functionality and anumber of usability improvements.

Users of INCA Crystal, which oå ers superb texture andgrain boundary analysis by electron backscattered dif-fraction (EBSD), can now review and import all thecrystallographic parameters needed to perform analysison a given sample, quickly and simply. The new ViewPhase in INCA Crystal’ s navigation system directlyaccesses industry standard ` .CIF’ crystal structures,which can be used without conversion, and also providesthe full range of symmetry information, i.e. space group,etc. for information. The new Edit Phase step allows theimport or entry of new structures, either from a databaseor from printed material, with great ease and ¯ exibility.Both new steps display crystal structures with a highlydetailed Crystal Model or ` Mimic’ .

This latest version of INCA Crystal also features en-hanced colour contour plotting in pole ® gures andinverse pole ® gures. Users can, according to preference,position the RD axis at either the top or the side of pole® gures. More expert users can also now opt for eitherequal area or stereographic pole ® gure plotting methods.

Moving pictures during data collection are also availablefor those who like to keep one eye on crystal orientationas they acquire data. A Crystal Mimic is now constantlyupdated in ` real time’ , so orientation can be viewed as adynamically changing imageÐ extremely informative inthe analysis of deformed materials. The Crystal Mimic isalso available in texture analysis Ð just click on a pointand see the orientation.

Zymark introduces new system integration soft-ware

Zymark Corporation announces the release ofCLARATM 2.2, the third iteration of the CLARA soft-ware suite, which continues to build upon its industryleading performance and ease of use. Developed for thescientists’ needs, CLARA is an integral part of anysuccessful drug-discovery automation solution.

CLARA incorporates new Plug-and-Play resource adap-ters to provide a simpli® ed environmental set-up. Anyinstrument in the automated system is instantly identi® edby CLARA and ready for drag-and-drop assay creation.CLARA has more than 100 adapters for third-partyinstruments, giving users an unprecedented degree ofsystem ¯ exibility. In addition, its optimization tools havebeen enhanced further to improve assay automation andthroughput. The well-known application scheduler hasbeen updated increasing computational speed. The newreal-time Gantt Chart displays run-time progress andcompletion of instructions, enabling eå ective resourceutilization.

Assay development and validation is streamlined by one-click simulation of any instrument in the system.Advanced User Noti® cation allows assays to run un-attended: cell phones, pagers and e-mail accounts canbe contacted in response to resource errors, data mile-stones or quality assurance statistics.

Available for use with every Zymark Twister1 II andintegrated system, CLARA 2.2 is available as a new orupgrade package. The software is key to the developmentof HTS, genomic and proteomic automated solutions.
