Datalystica at IAC 2026

We are excited to announce that Datalystica will be participating in the IAC 2026 in Xi’an, China.

We are exited to share that Datalystica will be represented at an International Aerosol Conference (IAC)! This conference offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with the aerosol research community, and we are looking forward to engaging with fellow source apportionment enthusiasts as well as meeting both new and familiar faces who share our passion for this important field. We strongly believe in the power of collaboration and we are especially eager to hear about the latest developments, challenges, and insights from the community.

We are more than happy to discuss the latest advances in source apportionment and how we implemented those in our software solutions (SoFi Pro, SoFi RT). But just as importantly, we welcome informal conversations and the exchange of ideas. If you are curious about source apportionment or wondering whether it could benefit your project, feel free to stop by and chat with us. Our team will be available throughout the event, you are very much welcomed to visit our booth #A58.

For more information about IAC, including how to attend, visit their website. To schedule a meeting with our team during the event, please contact us at support@datalystica.com.

We look forward to meeting you at IAC 2026 and to exchanging ideas!

SoFi workshop 2026

We are happy to invite you to an in-person SoFi workshop in Baden, Switzerland, taking place 13–15 April 2026.

The workshop introduces the theoretical foundations of PMF and shows how these ideas can be applied in SoFi. The focus is on learning by doing: participants are encouraged to bring their own datasets (or work with provided examples) and apply PMF step by step to questions that are directly relevant to their work.

The format is interactive and beginner-friendly, with plenty of room for questions, discussion, and guided hands-on sessions.

SoFi Users’ Meeting 2026

We are happy to announce our next virtual SoFi Users’ Meeting, taking place 9./10. February 2026.

Join us to explore the latest SoFi updates and features and share your own experiences and results with the community. The meeting offers a space for discussion, user presentations, and exchange of practical tips, making it a great opportunity to learn from others and get inspired for your own work.

The event is online and free to attend, welcoming both new and experienced users.

New Publication: Real-Time Source Apportionment with SoFi RT using the AXA setup

We’re proud to share the newest publication introducing SoFi RT, which applies the novel AXA approach for total PM source apportionment: “Implementation of real-time source apportionment approaches using the ACSM–Xact–Aethalometer (AXA) setup with SoFi RT: the Athens case study”.

This study marks the first-ever application of the AXA setup integrated with SoFi RT for real-time source apportionment. By integrating multiple instruments into one coherent analysis pipeline, SoFi RT opens new possibilities for faster, more comprehensive source apportionment — supporting better science, decision-making, and pollution mitigation. Importantly, the results compare well with the traditional rolling PMF approach, demonstrating that real-time analysis can deliver both speed and reliability without compromising scientific robustness.

SoFi Workshop 2025

With great pleasure, we announce that there will be an in-person workshop in Baden, Switzerland. The workshop takes place 04.02. – 06.02.2025. Participants will learn all about the fundamentals and advanced applications of PMF and SoFi and have the chance to work on their own (or provided) dataset and receive instant expert support for hands-on problem-solving.
