Umetrics Releases SIMCA®-P+ Version 12 Providing More Power For Multivariate Data Analysis (MVDA)

Kinnelon, NJ - Umetrics, a leader in multivariate data analysis software and training, announces the release of SIMCA-P+ Version 12. This multivariate analysis software performs cluster analysis and PLS regression with classification trees. It has full OPLS and O2PLS functionalities and improved support for hierarchical PCA and PLS. The analysis of batch data is improved through summarized contribution plots that can be resolved to the level of individual variables. Local centering, trimming and Winsorizing can be made per phase.

Direct communication between SIMCA-P+ 12 and EZInfo, an interactive software program from Umetrics, makes routine analysis of reoccurring tasks secure and easy, allowing for the distribution of reports among collaborators. Additionally, the direct input of MODDE-8 files and the export of scores from SIMCA-P+ 12 to MODDE-8 facilitates the use of MVDA for fully or partly designed data sets. SIMCA-P+ Version 12 software is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for immediate use in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, from R&D to Manufacturing.

"Version 12 represents a major upgrade, with new functionalities and the continued focus on ease of use" says Nouna Kettaneh, General Manager of Umetrics. "There are many improvements in data preprocessing, graphics, and data handling, facilitating the analysis of complex data sets for today's R&D and manufacturing processes."
