The Spotfire.net(TM) decision analytics platform combines, in one integrated workspace, the tools scientists and researchers need to make faster, more informed decisions. This latest version of Spotfire.net extends the solution's capabilities in the areas of increased data access, interactive visual analysis, and enhanced publishing and reporting of results. Spotfire.net(TM) also provides Web functionality enabling researchers to share results across organizations and impacting the productivity of user communities responsible for analyzing mission critical data. Afferent is a suite of products spanning the combinatorial chemistry process and offering chemists intuitive tools for building, synthesizing, archiving, and analyzing combinatorial libraries. Afferent Structure(TM), the core of the Afferent suite, enumerates combinatorial product structures and tracks physical locations, ID numbers, and other data pertaining to products. It employs a reaction-based approach to generate structures, describing combinatorial syntheses exactly the way chemists do. About Spotfire, Inc.
