Astra Software

The most powerful and versatile software available for the characterization of macromolecules and nanoparticles via multi-angle and dynamic light scattering. It greatly simplifies MALS and DLS analysis, so you can quickly and accurately assess molar mass, size, conformation, conjugation and other essential physical parameters.

Background and Challenges

Nectar was entrusted by Wyatt Technologies for the comprehensive redesign of their Light Scattering product family, which entailed a complete overhaul of the product software to align with their advanced product range. In response, Nectar not only designed but also expertly programmed the new Astra desktop application software system. This transformation aimed to establish a visually engaging language that effectively communicates the product’s quality and, concurrently, enhances its overall functionality.

Workflows and system architecture

System architecture is the backbone of any software system, and its importance cannot be overstated. We were meticulous whille detailing of the system architecture of the Wyatt Astra software, which made a substantial impact on the final product. It allowed us to create a robust and agile platform that not only met current needs but also offered the flexibility to adapt to evolving requirements.

Detailed design for seamless development

Nectar created a comprehensive style guide for UI development which was pivotal in maintaining a consistent and polished user interface. It provides a clear framework for design elements such as colors, fonts, spacing, and interactions, ensuring a cohesive user experience across all interfaces. A small sample of the document is shown to the left.
