STM3: a chemistry visualization platform

To support CSCS research users we built STM3, a software platform on which advanced chemistry visualization techniques can be integrated. Its main goal is not to replace existing tools, but to provide functionalities not covered by them. STM3’s unusual characteristic among chemistry visualization tools is its ability to combine chemistry and general visualization techniques in the same view. ST...

UNICORE - An Uniform Platform for Chemistry on the Grid

Software platform virtualization in chemistry research and university teaching

BACKGROUND Modern chemistry laboratories operate with a wide range of software applications under different operating systems, such as Windows, LINUX or Mac OS X. Instead of installing software on different computers it is possible to install those applications on a single computer using Virtual Machine software. Software platform virtualization allows a single guest operating system to execute...

Construction of an Experimental Chemistry Platform at Agricultural University

To address Agricultural University’s courses on the characteristics of chemical experiments, we designed an experimental chemistry platform. The platform includes modules on teaching resources, self-tests, interaction, and virtual experiments to build a user-friendly learning environment for the students. It was shown that the interactive teaching model engaged the students’ interest and helped...

Picoliter DNA sequencing chemistry on an electrowetting-based digital microfluidic platform.

The results of investigations into performing DNA sequencing chemistry on a picoliter-scale electrowetting digital microfluidic platform are reported. Pyrosequencing utilizes pyrophosphate produced during nucleotide base addition to initiate a process ending with detection through a chemiluminescence reaction using firefly luciferase. The intensity of light produced during the reaction can be q...
