Meet ZONTAL at the 2024 Fall Allotrope™ Connect in Boston!

2024 Fall Allotrope Connect Workshop (November 19 – 20, 2024)

The Allotrope™ Connect Workshop serves as a dynamic gathering point for Allotrope members along with the wider Chemical & Pharmaceutical/Life Sciences community. It aims to transform and explore how scientific data is obtained, shared, and analyzed within organizations through enhanced data standardization and interpretation throughout analytical labs and manufacturing processes.

With more than 70 data models and counting, the Allotrope Foundation is at the forefront of data standardization, facilitating faster access to data-driven insights.

Date: November 19-20, 2024
Location: Boston Long Wharf Marriott

ZONTAL’s Featured Presentations:

Day 1: Tuesday, Nov 19, 2024 | 9:45-10:30 AM
Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) Data Archiving Enabled by ASM Format
Presented by Sreeni Yetukuri and Christian Del Valle from Merck & Co., Inc., along with Dan DeAlmeida and Spencer Gardiner from ZONTAL

Abstract: The electronic notebook (ELN) has been the centerpiece of digital experiment documentation for over 20 years, but many of these initial technology products have become dated and are being replaced by more modern, cloud-based solutions. This presents a tremendous opportunity to reimagine the modern ELN in terms of how data are captured, consistently contextualized and structured, and consumed in increasingly data-centric ecosystems with increasingly and data-savvy scientists. Additionally, it creates an important responsibility to archive the many years and terabytes of legacy data contained in the outgoing ELN in ways that meet intellectual property and compliance obligations, as well as ensure the data are preserved in a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) manner such that they continue to add value to future analytics, modeling, and predictive workflows. This presentation will describe a collaboration to develop a draft ASM model for structuring ELN data, which was subsequently applied in the ZONTAL platform to create a solution to archive >30 TB of heterogeneous legacy ELN data into a consistent and simplified representation. This draft ELN ASM model to support archiving use cases is currently being used as the basis to develop the Allotrope ASM model which is targeted for release next quarter.

Day 2: Wednesday, Nov 20, 2024 | 12:00-12:30 PM
“From Electronic Document to Executable Method: USP’s Journey to Digitalizing the USP NF”
Presented by Christof Gaenzler from ZONTAL and Kyle Larson from USP

Abstract: USP Monographs represent the most comprehensive source of global medicine quality standards, outlining methods for evaluating identity, strength, purity, and performance. In alignment with its digital transformation strategy, USP is utilizing ZONTAL’s natural language processing capabilities to convert these monographs into executable digital formats. This initiative integrates with ZONTAL’s Methods Hub, facilitating the seamless exchange of analytical methods and results across various chromatography data systems. ZONTAL generates and stores methods in ASM format, thereby transforming traditional paper documents into actionable digital instructions. And it transmits these methods to instruments and collects results, consolidating all data within a FAIR and vendor-neutral platform.
