Product news

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. (ACD/Labs) today announced that the department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University has chosen ACD/2D NMR Processor as their NMR processing package of choice.

ACD/2D NMR Processor will be deployed to all staff, students, and faculty to use on both PCs owned or leased by the department as well as on individual user’s personal machines.

The key person involved in seeing this project to fruition at Harvard’s Dept. of Chemistry and Chemical Biology was head librarian of the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Library, Ms. Marcia Chapin. Marcia had the daunting task of taking a long list of requested capabilities and features and finding a suitable NMR application to meet her patrons’ needs. Some of the requested capabilities involved automatic generation of multiplet reports set to a specific journal format, and software stability. During the software evaluation, ACD/2D NMR Processor was able to meet and exceed everyone’s expectations for a complete and easy-to-use processing package in a very competitive head to head comparison with other NMR processing utilities.

Mr. Brent Lefebvre, NMR Product Manager at ACD/Labs, comments, “ACD/Labs is proud and appreciative that Harvard University, with its undisputed, lengthy reputation for high quality academics and research, has chosen to purchase a campus license of ACD/2D NMR Processor. ACD/Labs Software has been used in some form at Harvard University since 1995, so with this acquisition we look forward to a partnership stretching far into the future.”

NMR and EPR SpectroscopyNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to resolve the local chemical environment of atomic nuclei with spin, revealing information on molecular structure, dynamic processes and chemical reactions of organic molecules, from proteins to synthetics. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is used to detect and quantify paramagnetic species in a sample, including free radicals as transition metal ions. By immersing the sample in a strong magnetic field, both NMR and EPR spectrometers probe the sample with either radio waves or microwaves respectively. A range of benchtop, solid-state and time domain NMR spectrometers & EPR spectrometers are available, as well as NMR tubes, NMR solvents, software, coils, and magnets.

Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.
