AI Analysis
Autonomously Evaluates and Identifies All Thermal Effects

This revolutionary AI solution uses neural networks trained by thousands of examples to autonomously detect, evaluate and identify all DSC effects. AIWizard saves valuable time, providing consistent and reliable results regardless of the user’s level of experience.

AIWizard can be used as either an expert for the automated analysis of your measurements, or your best reviewer for an independent second opinion.

Expert Knowledge Built-in
‍Uses METTLER TOLEDO’s 350+ Years of Thermal Analysis Expertise

Our TA experts have more than 350 years of combined experience! This impressive amount of expertise allowed us to create the AIWizard neural networks, trained on thousands of real example evaluations.

Automation with AI Enabled Methods
Runs Experiments and Analyzes Results Instantaneously

With the STARe software and AIWizard you can automate your whole experiment process. Simply activate AIWizard in the method for instant, autonomous evaluation and identification of your DSC thermal events.

Expert Opinion
Compare Your Own Evaluation with the AIWizard

AIWizard can be used as a second expert opinion. After your experiment, simply select AIWizard in the evaluation window for an instant autonomous evaluation to compare with your own analysis.

Alternatively, use the automated process by activating AIWizard in the Method or Routine window in the STARe software. This will automate the entire measurement, evaluation, and identification process, freeing up valuable time for your analysts

Multiple Neural Networks
Choose a Dedicated Neural Network Trained on Selected Data for Optimal Evaluation

Thermal effects can vary widely across material groups. Therefore, narrowing the training data set improves neural network quality to provide even better results. Accordingly, our experts have created different neural networks to evaluate results. Trained on dedicated data, the most appropriate neural network can be downloaded according to your needs, ensuring the most reliable evaluations of your results.

Upgradable Neural Networks
Meet Future Needs with Continuous Additions of AI Expert Data

The neuronal network database is separate from the STARe software, meaning it can be updated independently. This allows us to keep adding expert data so that AIWizard continues to meet your needs.

Features and Benefits
of the STARe Thermal Analysis Software

AI Wizard is just one of the many useful options available in the STARe software, which is the most comprehensive thermal analysis software on the market. It’s unique features include modularity, unrivalled flexibility, unlimited evaluation possibilities, and automation. These features also make it the ideal software to facilitate compliance with internal and external regulations. All of our thermal analysis systems can be controlled from one powerful STARe software platform.

The extensivity modularity of the STARe software is shown in the figure below.

Unlimited Evaluation Possibilities
Provides Enormous Flexibility

The base software includes a large number of routine evaluations that can be applied to curves from different measurement techniques.

Mathematical evaluation features include:
  • First derivative
  • Cut to frame – cutting segments
  • Take apart
  • Envelope curves
  • Subtract lines

Other evaluation functionalities include:
  • ADSC–FFT, steady state ADSC, and ADSC to separate overlapping effects
  • Onset and endset, with and without threshold values
  • Peak integration
  • Step, with horizontal or tangential baselines
  • Table: different options for presenting curves in tabular form
  • Min/Max: determination of the minimum and maximum values within a selected region
  • Normalize to sample size: conversion to W/g or % presentation
  • Display curve against time, reference or sample temperature
  • DSC purity
  • Automatic evaluations and validations

Reliable Automation
High Sample Throughput with Automatic Evaluation Dramatically Improves Efficiency

The EvalMacro feature in the base software speeds up repetitive tasks and eliminates operator bias. For example, when performing repeat experiments, you can program the same type of evaluation to be automatically performed each time, saving time and effort for all your operators. In addition, results can be compared graphically and automatically evaluated to ensure they lie within predefined limits, with an optional Pass/Fail statement displayed.

By combining EvalMacro with the QC option, you can automatically track product quality over time, compare curves to previous evaluations, and automatically transfer results to material-specific tables. Statistics are displayed for each table, allowing any deviations to be tracked over time. Evaluation, assessment, and data transfer to the statistics table can be fully automated in the method, and data can easily be exported to Excel.

Unique Integrated Database Solution
Guarantees the Highest Level of Data Security

All records are stored and linked in a secure, protected data archive, shielding raw data from unintentional deletion or modification. This option allows:
  • System access to be restricted to authorized individuals
  • User access profiles to be customized to reduce risk of data manipulation
  • Access to data for user groups to be specified to protect against alteration
  • Data to be classification for confidentiality across the whole system.

Solid Compliance
Supports 21 CFR Part 11 User Level Management and Electronic Signatures

Our dedicated option provides the technical controls to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. This includes:
  • Access control (password)
  • User level management (user roles or profiles)
  • Electronic records (file integrity)
  • Electronic signature (status of electronic records)
  • Audit trail (change and system history).

Modular Concept
Tailor-made Solutions for Current and Future Needs

The flexible STARe software consists of the base software and a large number of application-specific options to satisfy your current and future needs. If your requirements change, new options can be added at any time.

Easy and Intuitive OneClick™ Operation
Saves Time in Training and in Daily Use

STARe functionality is readily accessible from the software’s intuitive ribbon interface. Methods can be automated then launched with OneClick™ and automated for repeated measurements, ensuring reproducible experiments, regardless of the operator.

Time-Saving FlexCal™ Calibration
Automatic Adjustment for Accurate Measurement Results

FlexCal is a unique tool that reduces the time needed for instrument adjustment by storing adjustment parameters for each combination of module, crucible, and gas type in a database. Depending on the method, the module applies the correct adjustment parameters, even if the gas type is switched during the measurement.

If there are no adjustment parameters in the database, mathematically estimated parameters are applied based on known properties of the crucible and gas type. No extra adjustment is necessary, saving valuable time for the operator.

State-of-the-Art LIMS Integration
Seamless Processes from External Tasks to Measurement Evaluation and Result Assessment

STARe integrates with LIMS to simplify laboratory workflows. Methods can be launched with OneClick™ and automated for repeated measurements. In addition, control functions supervise the status of the system and facilitate serviceability and maintenance.
