Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the launch of Mass Frontier 6.0, a powerful new software package offering sophisticated features for the management, evaluation and interpretation of mass spectra. The software is applicable to small molecule structural elucidation in a wide range of applications, including metabolite identification and impurity analysis in drug discovery and toxicology studies. Providing comprehensive spectral data and fragmentation mechanism knowledge management, this new version of Mass Frontier facilitates structural elucidation by simplifying the interpretation of MSn spectral data. The software will be showcased at the Thermo Scientific hospitality suite at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in Salons G-K during ASMS, which runs from May 31-June 4 in Philadelphia.

Pilz Automation Technology is launching the PSS4000 Automation System and PAS4000 software suite that together provide a new way to design, program and implement automation. A key feature of the concept is the integration of safety, standard and motion control, as well as visualisation and diagnostics, with all data conveyed via a SafetyNET p Ethernet-based industrial fieldbus network. In addition, the software suite enables all aspects of an automation project to be accessed via a single interface.

It is estimated that 5 to 10 arc flash explosions occur in electric equipment everyday in the United States. These events have the potential to cause serious injuries and even death due to burns from the thermal radiation and intense light released. To address this problem, ARCAD developed arc flash software to estimate the incident energy released in the event of a fault, identify the required Protection Boundary, create arc flash warning labels and more.

Field Precision LLC today announced the release of GamBet(TM), a 3D finite-element software suite for Monte Carlo simulations of X-rays and electrons in matter. The program has applications to X-ray sources, imaging devices and radiation shielding.
