ACD/UV-IR Processor

Top Ten Features

1. Widest Multi-technique Support: Access and process data for the whole optical range, from vacuum UV to far IR including Raman spectra, within a single program interface. For example, UV-Vis, NIR, and IR absorption spectra for a sample can be analyzed in a coordinated way on the same window interface.
   
   If the other five modules of ACD/SpecManager are acquired, it becomes possible to centralize the data management tasks of most analytical techniques in one place. Thus, as well as covering optical spectroscopy, you can also use powerful 1D NMR and 2D NMR, Mass Spectrometry, chromatography, as well as a generic analytical curve module to offer a more complete cross-laboratory coverage.
    
2. Broadest Generic Hyphenated Data Analysis Capabilities: Use a number of interactive tools to analyze and visualize hyphenated data involving "optical" spectroscopy detectors: LC/UV (DAD or PDA), LC(GC)/FT-IR, and other two-fold techniques.
    
3. Extensive User Format Support: Expand the built-in list of vendor or software data formats with your own custom-built DOS executable or ACD/ChemBasic converters. The conversion manager allows UV-IR processor to automatically recognize and load spectral files for the custom format directly.
    
4. Chemical Structure Intelligence: Enhance your spectral analyses through a deep interlinking of the spectrum with an active chemical structure object for organic, polymeric, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. ACD/ChemSketch, a full-featured structure drawing package, is fully integrated with ACD/UV-IR Manager.
   
   ACD/Labs authentic chemical structure object "knows" a lot by itself: typical atom valences, bond angles, molecular weights, etc. Chemical information in this structure can be modified or 2D-cleaned, 3D-optimized, and much more.
    
5. Easy Vibrational Interpretation: Interpret and assign functional groups in infrared and Raman spectra with ease using our built-in interactive computer-assisted structure-to-spectrum algorithms and knowledge base. The internal knowledge base contains over 1100 fragments mapping out the spectroscopy of different classes of functional groups, and includes characteristic vibrational frequencies, references, and notes.
    
6. Straightforward Automation: Automate routine tasks with advanced macro processing tools. Run, store, and organize the macro programs within a user friendly interface. Any macro can be associated with a button on the Macro Panel or run automatically when a spectrum is opened. Group Macro tools facilitate the task of pushing experimental spectra collected in files for years into a fully searchable reference database.
    
7. Intuitive Peak Fitting: Reveal "hidden" features within overlapped peaks with the built-in Peak Fitting tool for advanced spectrum analysis. Combining efficient up-to-date optimization techniques with a highly interactive user interface, it turns the art of spectrum modeling into an almost routine procedure.
    
8. Quantitative Analysis Made Simpler: Use different toolkits for quantitative analysis, from a simple calibration curve to multivariate curve resolution.
   
   The interactive univariate calibration tool makes it easy to visualize and plot regression dependencies of a selected response (e.g., intensity at single wavelength or integral on a region) versus concentration or another variable parameter in spectral series.
   
   The SIMPLISMA multivariate mixture analysis algorithm provides an intuitive means of extracting pure concentration spectral profiles for a spectral series of mixtures without requiring prior knowledge about the samples or high levels of chemometric expertise.
    
9. Extensive Sample Identification, Characterization, and Annotation Capabilities: Perform spectral, subspectral or substructure searches of reference databases to aid in your assignment. Capture and assign the characteristic frequencies interpretation using the computer assisted structure-spectrum functional group analysis capabilities for future reference. Annotate the spectrum using up to ten layers of annotations, making easy to capture insights and share notes with colleagues.
    
10. State-of-the-Art Reporting Tools: Publish and present the analysis results by producing professional quality reports or posters without leaving ACD/UV-IR Processor. This program can transfer spectra, tables, structures, and graphics into any Windows document as OLE-objects or pictures.
