Tm Analysis System
Tm analysis systems can accelerate the development process and improve the
quality of oligonucleotide therapeutics. Control by LabSolutions software enables
™
compliance with ER/ES-related regulatory requirements and improves the
efficiency of analyzing the thermal stability (Tm analysis) of nucleic acids.
Reliable Data Integrity
The Tm analysis system in conjunction with LabSolutions DB/CS can achieve the highest data integrity
levels in the industry. Measurement parameters, audit trails, and results of data acquisition and analysis
are managed in a database protected with user privilege settings and security policies to prevent
unintended operations or data tampering by operators.
Functionality for Satisfying Various Needs
Tm Analysis
In addition to trace measurement and high-sensitivity measurement capabilities required for Tm analysis,
the system also satisfies a variety of other needs, including thermodynamic parameter analysis using Melting Curve
