Analysis and Processing of Spectroscopic Data
Today's analytical laboratories tend to use a variety of instruments and techniques from different vendors, each of which have to be processed and analyzed in different ways, the majority of them coming with their own processing software. The resulting chaos of output files and formats usually creates a few key problems:
- Processing is done on the instrument, reducing its useful work time;
- Reporting is complex and time consuming;
- Too much time is spent on learning new interfaces; and
- Finding old results is not easy, which in turn causes repeat experimentation.
ACD/Labs products are renowned for their vendor-neutral and cross-technique approach to analytical data. This is how our products can help streamline Analysis and Processing of Analytical Results:
Assimilate Data on a Remote Desktop
ACD/Labs software for the analytical laboratory can import most major formats provided by modern analytical instruments, and is not limited to any one particular vendor. This software enables laboratory results to be processed in the same way and within the same interface, ensuring easy access and consistency, and enabling automation. Furthermore, processing can now be accomplished away from the instrument so that it may become available for further experimentation.

Apply Advanced Processing Algorithms
In addition to the standard processing techniques available from the instrument manufacturers, ACD/Labs software offers unique algorithms to save analysts' time and increase their efficiency while eliminating tedious and repetitive tasks. Among the most popular tools are advanced NMR baseline correction, Quanalyst NMR analysis, CODA and COMPARE algorithms for analyzing noisy LCMS results and comparing MS runs that contain minor levels of impurities and degradants, SIMPLISMA for UV-IR/Raman component extraction, and much more.
Complement Analytical Results with Chemical Structures
Analytical data is intimately connected to the analytes' composition and properties. Proper analysis of results frequently requires knowledge of background chemical information. ACD/Labs software is renowned for its chemical "intelligence" and the ability to create connections between chemical structures and analytical information. This ability is the key to structure identification - the true goal of any analytical experimentation. Furthermore, chemical structures and fragments associated with the corresponding spectral signal create a unique identifier that enables structure-searchable retention and databasing of chemical and analytical information. Prediction of spectral or physicochemical properties from structures helps ACD/Labs offer automatic verification and assignment to accelerate the analysis.

Capitalize on Other Benefits Enabled by a Vendor-neutral Approach
Unite All of Your Analytical Results
ACD/Labs software helps eliminate a disconnect between various types of analytical results accumulated for a particular project. Several technique-specific processing modules seamlessly integrate to enable unified storage and distribution of the analytical results regardless of the original experimental technique or even the geographic location. Read more about bringing all analytical data together.
Communicate and Report Your Results with Ease
Many of our customers comment that an ability to have all of the analytical data assembled electronically and associated with a single project or compound, together with easy scalability and template reporting of analytical results, saves hours and helps focus on core research tasks. Read more about advanced reporting.
Eliminate Tedious Tasks
Repetitive processing tasks can be automated to ensure uniform and consistent analysis of experimental results. Furthermore, some processing tasks can be completed overnight to help increase the capacity of the analytical laboratory. More on automation.
