SEURAT – Easy To Adopt Unlike many other tools in the drug discovery and development space SEURAT does not require you to switch to its view of drug discovery rather you only need to describe your view of drug discovery to SEURAT.   In addition SEURAT provides a number of search options though it’s quick search capability that reduce the training time required for new users of SEURAT to almost zero. Quick Searches are tailored to provide results specific to each disciplines needs (chemistry, biology, preclinical development and legal)   Works with your Existing Database   Seurat saves you time and money through its ability to work with your existing processes and databases Seurat can be configured to access your compound, assay and property data from your own database without code changes For once you dont have to rework your processes to fit a vendors database instead we fit with your database and we dont charge consulting fees to do it Seurat can interface with Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases   All that you need to do is change SEURAT’s meta-data configuration files and SEURAT will be retrieving, analyzing and visualizing the data as it exists in your database in just a matter of days.   Of course if you prefer to use the native Synaptic Science schema provided with SEURAT you can choose that option in which case SEURAT provides a very user friendly and highly configurable mechanism for the upload of your compound structure, lot, protocol, assay, property, notebook and scientist information from SD and CSV files.   In future releases you will be able to choose to both configure SEURAT to interface with your database (remember this requires no code changes) and use SEURAT’s native database schema to load and analyze partner or CRO data.   Requires minimal Training SEURAT offers great search flexibility. New and seasoned users alike can often get by just by selecting the most pertinent analysis from the list of available Quick Search options.     In addition to the Quick Searches shown in the screenshot above there are another seven:   List all Chemists List all Projects List all Assays List all Assay Protocols List all Assay Result Types List all compounds with crystal structures Hypothetical ID structure search   Many of the Quick Search analyses support the specification of a compound prefix and wildcard matching in their searches reducing the amount of typing required to retrieve useful results.   For example all assay results for all salt forms of a compound might be retrieved simple by giving the identifier without the prefix and without the salt form designation at the end of the identifier like “12345*” instead of ABX12345A, ABX12345B, ABX12345C etc. Of course if you want to be explicit you can.   If that is not enough and a user wants to combine assay cutoffs with lot and structure constraints then they can do so intuitively through the SERUAT Template Form.     In the above example the Template Form is being used to inspect an existing jobs search criteria. Ticks a tab mean a constraint is set in that tab. For a detailed explanation of how to search using the Template Form please refer to the SEURAT Users Guide (requires that you have contacted us for a username and password).
