Do More with Less: ACD/Labs Software for Small Companies and Academia

It is difficult to compete as a small- or medium-sized company in the world of big pharma and chemical manufacturing giants. If the goal is to bring innovative products to the marketplace in a cost-effective and timely manner, the road to success is fraught with obstacles, both large and small. What if therewas software that could make the path to achieving those goals shorter and a whole lot smoother?

In recent years, the chemical industry has changed and it is no longer given that only the biggest companies with the most resources will win. In fact, some competitive advantages belong to the smaller companies alone. Those who are willing to consider new technologies and new methods, and are willing to adapt these new methods into their workflows, have an advantage over the companies who show resistance to change.

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) is a chemistry software company serving chemical, pharmaceutical, academic, and government institutions worldwide with cutting-edge software since 1994. Our solutions for scientists, managers, and educators facilitate the decision-making process and help streamline research and development, ultimately improving efficiency and controlling costs. We strive to continually improve our products to reflect the rapid advancements in chemical research.

ACD/Labs wide range of products includes tools for chemical structure drawing, nomenclature, and reporting; spectral and property predictions; analytical data analysis and databasing; and more.

• ACD/Structure Design Suite—identify structural analogs of a lead compound with improved physicochemical properties
• ACD/IntelliXtract—automatically extract all chromatographic components, and assign MH⁺ or MH^- for each, simplifying the interpretation of complex LC/MS data
• ACD/Structure Elucidator—determine the chemical structure of small molecular unknowns, impurities, and degradants using experimental 1D and 2D NMR, MS, UV-IR, and Chromatography data
• ACD/Method Development Suite for LC/MS—develop and optimize robust separation methods systematically and efficiently
• ACD/SpecManager—unify your laboratory by storing, processing, interpreting, and reporting data from multiple analytical techniques including NMR, mass spectrometry, chromatography, IR, Raman, UV-Vis, and others
• ACD/ChemFolder—manage databases of chemical structures, chemical properties, experimental data, and reaction mapping of biotransformations, fragmentations, degradations, and more
