As we announced in September and earlier this month, we have been proceeding with testing for our software with 10gR2 for Microsoft® Windows and Sun Solaris. We would like to give you an update on the status of that testing. This testing was done with Oracle version 10.2.0.1.

Please note that interdependencies between our products might require that you upgrade several Symyx products at the same time after upgrading to Oracle 10gR2. For example, when using both Symyx Chembio AE 2.1 SP2 and Assay Explorer together, they should be upgraded at the same time to Oracle 10gR2 when Assay Explorer 3.0 SP1 becomes available.
