DeepMatter collaborates with the University of Nottingham
DigitalGlassware (TM) to be adopted by the University of
Nottingham's School of Chemistry for undergraduate use within its
Digital Teaching Laboratory
20 February 2020 - DeepMatter (AIM: DMTR), the AIM-quoted
company focusing on digitising chemistry, is delighted to be
collaborating with the University of Nottingham's School of
Chemistry, to explore the benefits of the DigitalGlassware(TM)
platform in data capture and analysis within undergraduate
chemistry teaching.
The project, "'Data led synthesis: an undergraduate project in
chemical optimisation" will see undergraduate students performing a
series of chemical reactions within DigitalGlassware(TM) over the
course of four weeks. DigitalGlassware(TM) is an integrated
software, hardware and artificial intelligence enabled platform,
which allows chemistry experiments to be accurately and
systematically recorded, coded and entered into a shared data
cloud. The aim of DigitalGlassware (TM) is to bring recordability,
reproducibility and shareability to the lab, enabling chemists to
produce better molecules, faster and ultimately cheaper.
The University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry uses a fully
Digital Teaching Laboratory, a completely paperless setting. The
use of DigitalGlassware(TM) aims to significantly increase the
reproducibility of experiments, which is key to an increasingly
digital environment. The Digital Teaching Laboratory is part of the
University of Nottingham HEFCE funded new STEM Teaching Laboratory
that is fully equipped with cutting-edge facilities used for
research and teaching. The laboratory offers students an
outstanding learning experience in practical chemistry combined
with the latest digital technologies for integrated working.
Mark Warne, CEO of DeepMatter Group, commented:
"We are delighted that Nottingham's chemists of the future will
have access to our innovative cloud-based platform,
DigitalGlassware(TM), supporting the University's drive towards the
digitisation of chemistry and introducing the students early to
digital tools. With the reproducibility crisis in chemistry
estimated to have an annual financial impact of $28bn in the US
alone, and currently 50% of science being deemed irreproducible,
digital platforms have the potential to transform the chemistry
industry in the years ahead. We hope that these students will
become advocates for greater use of digital as they enter the
industry."
Andrew Nortcliffe, Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry,
Faculty of Science, t he University of Nottingham added:
"Data led approaches to chemical research are starting to become
more prevalent in industry, turning to digital solutions to
increase accuracy, efficiency and reproducibility of chemical
reactions. But in the chemistry teaching lab there remains a
disparity between practical work and how capturing data can refine
and improve outcomes. At the University of Nottingham, we are
emphasising to our students the importance of capturing and
analysing data. DigitalGlassware (TM) is a natural fit in our
teaching labs as it exposes data led approaches to our students in
a meaningful way, preparing them better for their future chemical
careers."

About DeepMatter Group plc
DeepMatter's long term strategy is to integrate chemistry with
technology, thereby enabling a greater use of artificial
intelligence and reaching a point where chemicals can be
autonomously synthesised through robotics. In the near term this
involves the provision of an integrated software, hardware and
artificial intelligence enabled platform, DigitalGlassware(TM), to
scientists across research and process development sectors.
The DigitalGlassware(TM) platform allows chemistry experiments
to be accurately and systematically recorded, coded and entered
into a shared data cloud. The platform is designed to enable
chemists to work together effectively; sharing the details of their
experiments from anywhere and in real-time, so that work is not
needlessly duplicated, time and money wasted, and ultimately so new
discoveries may be made faster.
