Bayer CropScience Extends the Installation of ACD/Labs' NMR Software Across European Research Centres
Toronto, Canada (December 13, 2005) -
Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. (ACD/Labs) is pleased to announce that Bayer CropScience, a worldwide leader in agriculture and environmental health solutions, has chosen to extend the installation of ACD/Labs' expert tools for NMR prediction, processing, and data management across all their major European research centers at Monheim, Frankfurt, and Lyon.
ACD/Labs' NMR products help accelerate spectral interpretation, structure elucidation, and communication of results. Included in the installation were ACD/Labs' 1H, 13C, 19F, 31P, and 15N NMR Predictors for calculating chemical shifts and coupling constants; and the 1D NMR module of ACD/SpecManager, the overall spectroscopic processing and data management software that unifies analytical data information of all types into a single interface.
Dr. Winfried Etzel, Head of NMR and HTA, Bayer CropScience, Germany, states, "We decided to extend the installation of ACD/Labs' NMR solutions to ensure that our NMR knowledge is retained and accessible from different sites. One major advantage is the possibility to store and share real NMR spectra with chemical structures and assignments and having a databasing platform designed to provide a convenient path to effectively interpret data, and communicate results internally across research sites as well as externally."
Dr. Guy Desmarquets, Director of European Operations for ACD/Labs, adds, "I am extremely pleased to see Bayer CropScience extend what they had been using successfully at one site, to all of their European research sites. Having them sharing their data using our technology is a very positive achievement!"
ACD/Labs' suite of NMR tools for elucidation, verification, and database centralization was introduced to Bayer CropScience through ScienceServe GmbH, an official partner of ACD/Labs for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Dr. Heinz Hofmann, Managing Director of ScienceServe, comments on the purchase: "We are very pleased that one of the world's leading innovative crop science companies has chosen ACD/Labs' NMR software after rigorous testing of all available products on the market."
