Key Points of This Release
"Multi-Sigma Alchemy," an extended package for research and development, officially added to the no-code AI platform Multi-Sigma® on July 3, 2026.
Achieves property prediction and compound discovery by automatically converting diverse research data such as molecules, spectra, material compositions, and images into AI input format.
A free webinar will be held on July 22, 2026 (Wed) from 12:00 PM to commemorate the official release.
Aizoth Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, CEO: Kotaro Kawajiri, hereinafter "Aizoth"), developer and provider of the no-code AI analysis platform Multi-Sigma®, officially released "Multi-Sigma Alchemy" as a new extended package for Multi-Sigma® on July 3, 2026.
Multi-Sigma Alchemy is a specialized extended function for materials informatics that automatically extracts features that AI can learn from diverse data handled in R&D settings, enabling end-to-end no-code execution from compound discovery to property prediction. While maintaining the no-code environment of Multi-Sigma®, researchers can complete specialized AI analysis themselves.
Background: The Reality of Research Sites "Wanting to Use AI, But Unable To"
In R&D for drug discovery, materials science, and environmental chemistry, expectations for efficiency gains through AI are high. However, the reality in many research sites remains that "they don't know where to start" or "it won't work without relying on engineers."
The primary job of researchers is experimentation, consideration, and discovery. Being bogged down by data organization and AI model construction reduces both the speed and quality of research. Multi-Sigma Alchemy was born to solve this structural challenge.
Target Industries: All Industries with Research Data
Industry
Use Case
Pharmaceuticals/Drug Discovery
Prior prediction of candidate compound toxicity, permeability, and solubility; acceleration of lead optimization
Chemicals/Materials
Prediction of thermal and mechanical properties of new polymers, alloys, and ceramics
Environment/Refrigerants
Prediction of Global Warming Potential (GWP) and atmospheric lifetime; search for alternative candidates
Agriculture/Pesticides
Evaluation and candidate screening for biological activity, soil persistence, and selective toxicity
Food/Fragrances
Prediction of molecular properties related to flavor, stability, and safety
Semiconductors/Electronic Materials

What Changes with Multi-Sigma Alchemy
Multi-Sigma Alchemy is an extended platform that completes the entire R&D decision-making process, from research data collection and organization to compound discovery and AI prediction, within a single environment.
● All Data Becomes Input for AI
Molecular structures, spectral data, material composition formulas, and image data. Data previously thought to be "unusable for AI" is automatically converted into features by Multi-Sigma Alchemy. By utilizing microscopic images and crystal structure images as learning data, AI discovers correlations with properties that are difficult to capture visually.
● Understand the "Direction of the Answer" Before Experimentation
AI predicts properties before repeating synthesis, prototyping, and testing. By narrowing down promising candidates from thousands of possibilities and clarifying experimental targets, the research cycle can be significantly shortened.
● Objective Basis Added to Decision-Making
In addition to researchers' intuition and experience, predicted values backed by data become the basis for judgment. Being able to show data-supported reasons for selecting a particular candidate is a significant advantage for internal approval, regulatory compliance, and investor explanations.
For Management and R&D Management
In-house AI analysis not only reduces costs but also leads to the accumulation of research knowledge within the company and improved decision-making speed.
Multi-Sigma Alchemy is a package that adds to the existing Multi-Sigma® environment. It provides an environment where researchers can run AI with their own data without new system investments or hiring dedicated engineers. It is the shortest path to transition AI utilization from "under consideration" to "in progress."
CEO Comment
"The biggest barrier to AI utilization in R&D is not technology, but the 'entry point.' Multi-Sigma Alchemy provides an entry point that allows researchers to connect their existing data (whether molecular, spectral, or image data) directly to AI analysis. It is something that researchers in any field can start today."
