Identification of Individual Components Present in a Sample Mixture by H NMR and ACD/NMR Workbook Suite

ACD/NMR Workbook Suite, an extension of ACD/Spectrus Processor, provides advanced processing and interpretation tools for NMR spectroscopists. In this application note, it was shown that improvements of the mixture search workflow have greatly enhanced the usability of ACD/NMR Workbook Suite for the identification of components in a mixture. The workflow was designed for the general analyst and can be applied to many types of samples, including formulated products, petroleum, food and beverage, and biological samples to name a few. Future extensions to this tool include the expansion to include 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques (such as COSY, HSQC), as well as automatic quantitation if internal standard information is included.
