22 December 2000  -
ACD/I-Lab presents upgrade of the Structure Generator service and PhysChem predictors:

New versions of the Name to Structure service (1.04), LogD (4.56) and pKa (4.56) are available.
Now these services are corresponded to ACD/Labs desktop products.

21 September 2000  -
ACD/I-Lab presents a new version of the structure editor - ACD/MolX Control.

Now you can install ACD/MolX Control locally on your workstation and use this software to draw and edit chemical structures instead of Java applet.

Note that MolX Control can work only with MS Internet Explorer.

To get more information about ACD/MolX Control, how to install and use it, please see ACD/I-Lab Help System at http://ilab.acdlabs.com.

ACD/I-Lab presents History option of the HTML-client.

Now you can start calculation and disconnect from I-Lab, but your calculation will not be canceled. Server will save the results and you will be able to access them via History next time you log in to I-Lab.

The History option can be found on the top toolbar when you are logged in to I-Lab.

Notes:

  • You cannot access calculation results obtained by ChemSketch client via History .
  • You are charged for chargeable calculations first time when the results are downloaded by you. All subsequent downloads of these results are free.
  • You will not be charged for calculations performed but not viewed.
  • The server stores the results of calculations performed by individual users for at least 24 hours. Old results are removed automatically and cannot be restored.
  • The time for keeping results on the I-Lab server can be changed (prolongated) but only for Site License owners and 3d-party Servers integrated with I-Lab.
  • If you are a Site License user you can access calculated results via History only when you are logged in with the correct profile key specified. History is attached to your own profile. See Site License login page for details.

Now you can install I-Lab Structure Drawing applet and Spectrum Viewer applet locally on your workstation.

Just go to the http://ilab.acdlabs.com, click on the Local applets option at the bottom of the left menu and follow the instructions.

If the applet is installed locally to the client workstation, it starts in a few seconds, since it does not depend on the speed of your Internet connection.

Notes:

  • Local Applets can work improperly due to the non-standard configuration of the software installed on the client workstation.
  • The local applets are provided as is. ACD/Labs provides no guarantees on their successful operation, and provides no technical support on them.

ACD/I-Lab presents upgrade of the most popular services.

New versions of the NMR services (4.5), LogP DB and pKa DB (4.01) are available:

  • Our databases contain many more structures then before;
  • Our database search algorithms work faster, especially for combined searches;
  • We implemented search by Name and Reference in CNMR DB, HNMR DB, PNMR DB, FNMR DB. Try it both from your favourite HTML Browser or from ChemSketch - our Windows client of I-Lab;
  • Try our new improved 13C and 1H spectrum prediction programs. Be the first in your group to run them!

Good news for users of I-Lab who visit us via HTML Browser. Now you can send to the Structure editor/viewer ANY structure you see on the screen as a GIF image. Just click on the Put Structure... button.

14 April 2000  -
ACD/I-Lab presents SMILES conversion utility.

You can:

  • get SMILES notation of a molecule drawn or loaded in Structure Editor/Viewer;
  • generate molecule from SMILES string;
  • put generated molecule to the Structure Editor/Viewer;

Login and simply click on the lively face SMILing to you a happy SMILE from the top I-Lab operations toolbar.

13 April 2000  -
ACD/I-Lab presents light version of the I-Lab molecule container - Structure Viewer.

You can use it instead of Structure Drawing Applet when using I-Lab services and doing molecule format conversions.

It is useful for users with slow (modem) Internet connection. No need to wait for the Java Structure Drawing applet to download anymore !

It can be useful for Mac users. No bugs of Java for Mac !

Just load a molecule to the Structure Viewer and you will see the image of the structure loaded from your workstation.

You can switch between Structure Editor Applet and Structure Viewer in the Login page.

23 March 2000  -
ACD/I-Lab presents an Open Server Affiliation Service.

Now you can integrate our I-Lab calculation engines with your Web site and Services.
Contact the I-Lab Administrator at ilab@acdlabs.com to get more details.

You can see an example of integration at I-Lab Product Page.

06 March 2000  -
New ACD/IUPAC Name Free service is included into ACD/I-Lab. You can find it in the Naming group.

ACD/IUPAC Name Free generates accurate systematic names according to IUPAC rules with the following restrictions.


Restrictions:

  • This special free version of ACD/Labs software can treat the structures with no more than 50 atoms.
  • Only the following atoms are allowed: C, H, N, P, O, S, F, Cl, Br, I, Li, Na, K.

As a basis for generating systematic names, ACD/IUPAC Name Free uses the IUPAC recommendations.
For more details about features and limitations of ACD/IUPAC Name for Windows, please visit the ACD/IUPAC Name Product Page.

ACD/IUPAC Name Free Web Service(TM) is brought to you by a joint collaboration beetween IUPAC and Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc.

  • Balance Value and Credit Limit.
  • List of subscriptions finished over last two days and subscriptions that will finish during next day.
We have also added information about active subscription into a service page. Select any service and you will see the corresponding transaction charge of the calculation or the date when the subscription to that service will finish. Now if you are submitting a chargeable request, additional confirmation is required from you, so you can easily see whether the subscription is over or not.

03 February 2000  -
New prediction program ACD/Name to Structure is included into ACD/I-Lab. You can find it in the Naming group.

ACD/Name to Structure generates chemical structures from various systematic, semisystematic and trivial names of chemical compounds. Names can be both in inverted (index) and uninverted form.

For details about features and limitations of ACD/Name to Structure for Windows, please visit ACD/Name to Structure Product Page.

25 January 2000  -
