Analytical Studio Framework
What is it?
It is Virscidian's rapid and flexible scientific analytical development environment with which we develop all our desktop software.
What makes this a rapid development environment?
First and foremost, Analytical Studio Framework has been engineered from the ground up using the Microsoft Windows .NET, which Microsoft Corporation has invested billions of dollars into and now forms a modern and actively supported industry standard development environment.
Secondly, within the software industry there are a huge array of libraries available with highly developed functionality which we can simply add to our collection rather than coding these from the ground-up. This is a huge time saving for any development team. Additionally, we designed our analytical environment to be a modular implementation based on plug-ins which are added to the Analytical Studio Core software environment. Examples of plugins are: individual instrument file import and conversion plugins, report plugins, processing method plugins, data and results visualization plugins and so on...
After more than 6 years of development we have a wide selection of well used and tested development libraries from which we can choose should it be necessary - such as when we create a completely new analytical workflow and desktop processing environment. Using existing libraries rather than having to write all supporting code, makes a really big difference in our ability to design and code quickly. Since its conception, Analytical Studio Framework in 2003, it has been augmented with a wide array of advanced analytical and scientific algorithm libraries from which we can pick and choose when we develop new environments.
How can it be used?
All of Virscidian's marketed products have been implemented using Analytical Studio Framework. Each product has specific menu items, specific import functionality, specific processing algorithms, specific and appropriate reporting all wrapped in a consistent interface approach. Whether you are interested in a customization to an existing product, or a completely blue sky customized analytical solution - Virscidian's Analytical Studio Framework provides us with the right toolset to get the job done for you.

Frequently asked questions
Are there limitation to what can be developed as an analytical solution?
In our experience so far, we have not found a situation where we are unable to engineer a solution to a customer's need. For those cases where our customers have asked for that bit more, we simply extend the Framework to accomplish the end goal.
How do you accomplish integration to corporate systems and other third party software?
Any customizations that we do, use Analytical Studio Framework. Integration to your corporate systems, new report types, new results publishing integrations are simply added as new plugins which either act as inputs to the software environment or as outputs of information.
