ACD/Chromatography Applications Database

In keeping with ACD/Labs' philosophy of collaboration with quality scientific companies, we offer a database of applications free with every copy of ACD/ChromManager. Over 8100 applications have been provided by leading column vendors, and the database is regularly updated with new applications.

Use the public version of the database to find an HPLC or GC separation method. FREE access to more than 4700 structure-searchable separations by major column vendors.

The ACD/Chromatography Applications Database contains complete information on various separations, including the experimental results. Structure and substructure searches are used to retrieve viable separation methods for systems similar to your compounds. Each database record contains:

• Experimental chromatogram
• Application information
  • Solvent
  • Gradient
  • pH
  • Chromatographic column
• Structural assignments
• Origin of the data

The database contains HPLC, GC, and CE applications. The chromatographic applications contained in the database are the result of years of research and development by many of the world's most respected column manufacturers. The growing list of contributors includes Agilent Technologies, Astec, Beckman Coulter, Chiral Technologies, Eprogen, GL Sciences, Grace, Hamilton Company, Macherey-Nagel, Merck KgGA, PerkinElmer, Phenomenex®, Polymer Laboratories, Regis Technologies, Restek Corporation, SIELC Technologies, Supelco, Thar Technologies,Thermo, Varian, YMC, and ZirChrom® Separations. Version 11.0 of the database contains more than 8100 applications, including 575 chiral, 1244 GC, and 99 CE applications, covering a broad space of organic chemistry. We have supplemented, and will continue to supplement, the database with contributions carefully selected from recent scientific literature.

The chromatograms from ACD/Chromatography Applications Database, which have enough information for ACD/LC Simulator or ACD/GC Simulator to calculate quality prediction equations, now contain a pre-calculated prediction equation to enable Chromatographic Smart Search and to speed up the method development process (available for ACD/Method Development Suite users). They can be transferred to the corresponding Simulators for custom optimization, and method development.
