ACD/UV-IR Processor

Full List of Features

  • Import single-scan, multi-scans, and hyphenated spectral data from the foremost instrumental and software formats
  • Expand the list of supported import/export formats with your own custom external converters (DOS executable (*.exe) or ACD/ChemBasic programs (*.bas))
  • Load spectral data directly from an external application interface such as Waters® Empower™ or Dionex Chromeleon® software
  • Open HPLC/UV and other hyphenated data with the ACD/Matrix feature, providing an easily customizable contour map and various associated 2D plots (integral, projection, slices, etc.) for comprehensive visualization
  • Organize and compare multiple spectra in Tile, Full, or Overlay (series) modes
  • Customize series display offsets for improved interpretation clarity and synchronize axes through multiple windows
  • Customize spectrum colors, axis names, labels, and annotations; and specify x-axis orientation
  • Create customized data entry dialog boxes with Data Forms Manager to facilitate data input. Store user-designed forms in the local forms library.
  • Define up to 16,000 fully searchable user fields per spectral record. Data can be entered interactively, imported, or generated automatically by the software through a variety of ways.
  • Automatically save all the processing and analysis history (audit trail) with the full interpretation details
  • Automate routine processing tasks with macro commands, which can be saved and applied at a later date to a spectral series as well as to a single spectrum
  • Quickly create macros through the history file macro-creation or template tools
  • Manipulate sizeable collections of files using the batch-like capabilities of the Group Macro interface
  • Create professional high-quality reports in PDF or ACD/ChemSketch formats, and more
  • Convert spectral absorption y-axis units to Absorbance, Transmittance, % Transmittance, Molar Absorptivity, Logarithmic Absorbance, and Logarithmic Molar Absorptivity; convert spectral reflectance units to Reflectance, % Reflectance, Log(1/R), or Kubelka-Munk (for reflectance spectra)
  • Automatically collect mixed Absorbance, Transmittance, and %Transmittance spectra into a series with the same y-axis convention
  • Obtain the mean spectrum for a spectral series with the Average Spectrum command
  • Interactively suppress noise from your spectroscopic data with flexible FFT or Savitsky-Golay smoothing algorithms
  • Perform simple scalar arithmetic operations with respect to a spectrum or series
  • Subtract a scaled spectrum from another spectrum or series; automatically subtract a component signal from a mixture spectrum
  • Interactively convert a spectrum or series into its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th order derivatives
  • Perform ATR (attenuated total reflectance) correction to remove the effect of varied penetration depth
  • Deresolve a spectrum or enhance its resolution
  • Interpolate an entire spectrum or series of spectra to another custom X-grid
  • Attach chemical structures to your analytical spectra in order to better identify and interpret them
  • Verify whether an attached chemical structure corresponds to the peaks in the spectrum, and vice versa
  • Review a list of characteristic fragments possibly present in an unknown structure
  • Link data from related techniques in a clear hierarchical system; active spectral data can be linked directly to a single data point or peak within a chromatogram, analytical curve, or another spectrum
  • Study a spectral feature in minute details by interactively zooming in on any area of the spectrum or series; spectral searches are automatically restricted to the x-axis region delimited by the area zoomed in
  • Generate a Table of Peaks automatically through the Auto or Peak by Peak picking modes
  • Calculates peak areas, FWHH (full width at half-height), and asymmetry values where applicable
  • Use the peak fit modeling capabilities to resolve overlapped spectral peaks as a sum of Gauss, Lorentz, Gauss+Lorentz, or asymmetric LogNormal functions
  • Use SIMPLISMA to resolve and determine the pure component spectra of mixtures
  • Obtain lists of functional groups that may appear in the spectrum with the infrared or Raman spectrum interpretation tools
