ActivityBase

ActivityBase, developed by IDBS, is an established industry software platform designed for comprehensive screening data management. It combines feature-rich data analysis tools with built-in object and compound registration capabilities, underpinned by an industry-standard database. The platform is purpose-built for drug discovery teams seeking to capture, manage, and leverage screening data across the full R&D pipeline.

ActivityBase supports leading pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations (CROs), and academic research institutions in performing high throughput screening (HTS), low throughput screening (LTS), and high content screening (HCS) analysis. By providing a historic record of screening results, the platform drives and supports R&D pipelines while enabling businesses to capture and manage data, decisions, and intellectual property at source.

Assay Format and Analysis Support

• Provides analysis support for a wide range of biochemical, cellular, and biophysical assay formats
• Supported assay types include Ion Channel, FLIPR, Kinetic, SPR, and Mass Spectrometry assays
• Features a powerful scientific data analysis engine for statistics and non-linear regression analysis
• Supports the standardisation of assay protocols, including the data analysis methods employed
• Can be configured to meet specific organisational needs without requiring the purchase of additional analysis packs
• Improvements in data analysis processes can increase lab analysis throughput tenfold

Compound Registration and Sample Management

• Built-in compound registration and plate management tools are included natively within the platform
• Supports registration of any testable samples regardless of type
• Supports sample libraries, sample lists, and sample mixtures
• Supports the definition of any container type dimensions, whether flasks or high-density microtiter plates
• Supports sample, container, and result genealogy for full traceability

Data Integration and Imaging

• Integrates with HCS imaging stores including Perkin Elmer Columbus, Thermo Fisher HCS Studio, and Molecular Devices MDCStore
• Enables easy import of data and images from connected imaging platforms
• Provides an open data model that a wide range of IDBS partners leverage for supporting solutions and integrations

Deployment and Scalability

• Offers scalable deployment options suitable for both small and large organisations
• Provides optimised and automated options for outsourcing and CRO scenarios
• Allows tracking and management of results from years of assays within a single unified system

ActivityBase is supported by a wide-ranging partner network that provides local language support and complementary software solutions, helping organisations maximise their return on investment. The platform's open data model and extensive integration capabilities make it a flexible foundation for screening data management across diverse life sciences environments.
