New ReactLab build available

ReactLab Version 1.1 Build04 now available for download.

Maintenance upgrade:

Graphic GUI zoom/unzoom behavior corrected.

Workbook sheet protection revised to allow easier reformatting of cells and columns.

ReactLab Equilbria only; total component concentrations in data sheet left in place on model re-compilation and moved if component column changes.

Presentation at ISMEC2011

Jplus co-founder Marcel Maeder will be presenting a paper at The International Symposium on Thermodynamics of Metal Complexes (ISMEC 2011) in Giardini Naxos (Messina), University of Messina, Italy entitled;

"The Inclusion of Activities in the Analysis of Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies. No More Inert Salts"

This paper will introduce an important advance in the numerical analysis of spectroscopic data collected during complex equilibrium investigations through the incorporation of species activities into the computations rather than their concentrations. This avoids the necessity of adding inert salts during experiments to maintain constant ionic strength and allows the direct determination of thermodynamically relevant equilibrium constants at zero ionic strength. The development will be incorporated in the forthcoming version of ReactLab EQUILIBRIA and will be available for Beta testing at the conference and on our website very soon.

The symposium takes place on June 13-16, 2011

See ReactLab at the 17th Flavins Meeting at the University of California

Jplus Consulting are sponsoring and will be attending the 17th International Symposium on Flavins and Flavoproteins from 24-29 July 2011 at the University of California, Berkeley, California, USA where we will be demonstrating ReactLab KINETICS global analysis software alongside our co-marketing partner TgK Scientific Ltd. Come and see us to learn more of ReactLab capabilities for characterizing complex reaction kinetics.

New ReactLab build available

ReactLab Version 1.1 Build03 now available for download. This includes a number of helpful new features including:

• Retention of species parameters when a model is altered.
• A ‘new data sync’ function allows new data in a spreadsheet to be synchronized with ReactLab without saving and re-loading the file.
• A more flexible protection shell for standalone licenses allowing external memory devices to be attached to a computer which in some cases previously invalidated the license.

Best-in-class multivariate data analysis vendors partner to offer a solution combining soft and hard modeling software tools for the analysis of spectroscopic data.

Jplus Consulting and CAMO Software are pleased to announce the launch of a strategic partnership allowing both companies to provide an even more comprehensive client offering, by combining the flexibility of soft-modeling with the precision of hard-modeling. The agreement allows for both companies to promote the others software, individually or as a bundled solution, and where appropriate, work together on larger consulting projects.

"We are seeing a big increase in the use of multivariate analysis tools across a broad range of industries. We are particularly seeing demand for more powerful, deeper analysis of spectroscopic data. The partnership with Jplus gives us the capacity to offer an even more holistic solution to our clients," says Brad Swarbrick, Vice President, Business Development at CAMO Software.

Nature Chemistry citation

We are pleased to announce the first citation for ReactLab EQUILIBRIA in the journal Nature Chemistry;

“An AAAA–DDDD quadruple hydrogen-bond array”

Launch of ReactLab Version 1.1

Jplus is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ReactLab™ Version 1.1; updates include the following new features:

ReactLab EQUILIBRIA

• pH-metered titration analysis mode. This is a common experimental  approach for aqueous investigations that include protonation equilibria. Here spectra are recorded as a function of pH rather than as a function of the volume of reagent.

ReactLab EQUILIBRIA and ReactLab KINETICS

• Linked graphical GUI update during model updates and fitting.
• Improved network licensing and de-registering utilities for standalone licenses.

These are free updates for all ReactLab V1.X customers and can be obtained via the ‘download trial’ button on the product page of the website.

American Biophysical Society 55th Annual Meeting

Jplus will be represented by our co-marketing partner, TgK Scientific Ltd, at the 55th ABS meeting in Baltimore, Maryland March 5-9, 2011, Booth 664. Come and see ReactLab™ KINETICS software in action and see it running alongside TgK’s Kinetic Studio software and rapid reaction instrumentation.

Release of new  builds of ReactLab Version 1.0

• ReactLab KINETICS 1.0 Build 07
• ReactLab EQUILIBRIA 1.0 Build 06

Network licensing is now supported for both products.
