NMR Laboratory

As a leading developer of vendor-neutral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance software with over 10 years of experience, we are continuously augmenting our understanding of the needs in an NMR laboratory. Our wide range of NMR products serves the needs of many scientists, from the occasional user to the NMR expert. We have developed several tools and solutions to suit the needs of the diverse and evolving setups of modern laboratories, and continue to deliver significant improvements in our software on an annual basis. ACD/Labs offers NMR processing, prediction, and elucidation software that increases data throughput for NMR laboratories in the following ways:

Increase Instrument Availability

Data processing and storage can be moved away from the instrument interface to the chemist's desktop, increasing available instrument time. ACD/Labs software can simplify spectral processing and analysis through automated procedures which can be performed on the chemists' own desktops from various instruments, in a variety of file formats. Structure-enabled databases allow chemists to access their results from anywhere within the organization, not just in the NMR laboratory.

Share the Workload of NMR Interpretation

An NMR lab setup varies from company to company, combining both walk-up instruments and expert laboratories. In some companies, Chemists - who have wide ranges of comfort levels with NMR - share the interpretation load with NMR specialists. Regardless of who performs the NMR interpretation, we provide a solution that will reduce the time spent on NMR structure confirmation for both the Analyst and the Chemist.

Enhance Interpretation for Advanced Techniques with NMR Predictions

The use of ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F, and ³¹P NMR as a structural probe can be extremely valuable in the elucidation and characterization of chemical compounds. They can provide significant information about a compound's structure and an atom's chemical environment that can otherwise not be extracted from routine 1D and 2D NMR experiments. All of the software is seamlessly integrated to provide a smooth experimental setup, processing, and verification routine.

Reduce Dereplication and Elucidation Times of Unknown Substances by NMR

Recent innovations have expanded the scope of NMR applications to include elucidation problems, increasing the workload of analytical departments. Determining the structure of an unknown compound can be a tedious and time-consuming task. However, we have significant success stories to share that can speed up the process and increase a department's efficiency.

Automate Data Processing and Delivery of Results

Manual collection, processing, reporting, and database population of spectral data can take a significant amount of time and effort. Automating these tasks and tracking samples and requests will reduce the tedium and provide a smoother workflow. The integrated system can even automatically provide notification to the chemists when samples are ready for viewing.

Simplify Access to Legacy Data

Allowing chemists to access legacy data and results through a corporate database is an efficient way to communicate results. NMR databases of legacy data created in the analytical department can be made searchable and downloadable through web-based access to all authorized users in the company. In this way, chemists are able to get instant access and evaluation of their spectra without involving the NMR Spectroscopists in the review process.

Communicating Analytical Results

Reduce Data Blockage Created from High-throughput Efforts

The generation of analytical data using high-throughput hardware has produced a bottleneck, since data can be generated faster than it can be analyzed. Bottlenecks caused by copious amounts of NMR data can be reduced by setting up automated procedures for processing and verifying plates of compounds. This allows for better management of datasets that require high-throughput attention.
