With our MCA Stability application

We revolutionize analytical methods!

Traditional analytical methods are usually associated with considerable effort and consume valuable human, material, and time resources. Our application enables you to achieve results faster and significantly more cost-efficiently.

Accelerated analyses The measurement and evaluation of large sample sets often tie up valuable instrument and personnel capacity over long periods of time. Our application automates and accelerates these processes, delivering results in a fraction of the time.
Cost efficiency By reducing material usage and optimizing sample preparation, you save significant laboratory and consumables costs. Compared to classical analytical methods, the use of the MCA Stability application is significantly more cost-efficient and therefore more economical.
Minimization of error sources By eliminating manual preparation steps, typical transfer and handling errors are significantly reduced. Automated control mechanisms check and optimize the data during processing. This minimizes potential sources of error and sustainably increases the reliability of the analysis results.
Intuitive visualization of stability Changes in samples are clearly visualized using box plots, curve fitting, and statistical tests, making trends and differences easy to identify. The built-in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) also helps to quickly identify and visualize patterns, clusters, and outliers in the data.

MCA Stability workflow in five steps

1. Sample measurement / compilation of raw data

Measure your samples as usual using your analytical system (e.g., NIR, Raman, or other spectroscopic instruments), or create a table containing the raw data to be evaluated and save it in a supported format (e.g., *.xlsx or *.csv).

2. Data upload & preparation

Import your measurement data effortlessly into the application. Separate meta data from raw data and then assign the relevant columns for time and groups (e.g., batch number). Column names can be adjusted directly if required.

3. Data preprocessing

Select the desired data preprocessing methods, such as scaling, scatter correction (e.g., SNV or MSC), derivation, or smoothing. If required, you can limit the spectral range and immediately review the result in the preview plot.

4. Analysis & visualization

Clearly visualize changes in your samples using interactive box plots. Use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify trends, differences, and clusters. Flexibly compare different time points, batches, or conditions to gain well-founded insights into sample stability.

5. Reporting & data export

Generate a meaningful analysis report as a PDF or conveniently export all results as an Excel file.

Practical example 1

Stability studies – speed redefined!

Assess the impact of stress factors such as temperature or light objectively and quantitatively – within just a few hours or days. With our Stability application, you capture and quantify changes in the complete chemical profile of your sample based on your dataset. Thanks to the interactive graphical visualization, you can see at a glance how strongly and how quickly your samples change – providing a sound and comprehensive basis for decision-making.

Practical example 2

Conformity assessment in record time

Our application enables efficient conformity testing by directly comparing the complex chemical fingerprint of a sample with a defined reference, such as a “golden batch.” Instead of numerous time-consuming individual analyses, you receive a single, objective key metric that directly reflects the degree of conformity. This allows deviations to be identified quickly and significantly increases the efficiency of incoming goods inspections or in-process controls.

Practical example 3

Efficient packaging material evaluation – results in just one day

Reduce the testing time for packaging material studies from around 100 days to less than one day. Instead of examining numerous individual parameters such as appearance, loss on drying, or specific marker substances in time- and labor-intensive single analyses, our application enables the holistic capture of all changes in the chemical fingerprint using a single spectroscopic measurement. This comprehensive approach replaces lengthy test series and provides an objective, quantitative basis for decision-making when evaluating and selecting suitable packaging materials – in record time.

Practical example 4

Precisely analyze process and reaction kinetics

Monitor your processes and detect changes in relevant test parameters to precisely determine the optimal time for interventions, for example when a defined process target is reached or anomalies are detected. The targeted analysis of reaction kinetics with our application enables a significant reduction in process times, lowers resource consumption, and increases efficiency – ideal for applications in mechanical engineering and industrial anomaly detection.

What makes the Stability application special?

The Stability application enables automated and precise evaluation of spectroscopic or process-related measurement data based on deterministic algorithms. With a clearly structured user interface and a guided analysis workflow, users are led systematically and reproducibly to robust results.

The software supports common data formats, guides users through all analysis steps, and provides versatile visualization options such as box plots, curve fitting, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The analysis results can be exported immediately for reporting or further evaluation.

This makes the Stability application an efficient and transparent foundation for assessing stability, kinetics, and process changes – methodologically sound and aligned with the requirements of modern research and industrial applications.
