Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. enjoys a unique relationship with one of its client companies, Eastman Kodak, Co. in Rochester, NY - USA. In a special affiliation Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. has received the core code for the Kodak in-house development project known as WIMS, Web-based Information Management System. This code was used as the conceptual basis of the development of ACD/SLIMS, Spectral Laboratory Information Management System, a pioneering web-based approach to research laboratory sample tracking and resulting data management.
