ACD/Labs' unique strengths are our ability to characterize chemical entities; to intimately link chemical structures and schemas with chemical data and analytical chemistry information; and enable efficient mining and reuse of this knowledge.
Scientists within an organization (synthetic and production chemists, analytical chemists, DMPK experts, etc.) run spectroscopic and chromatographic experiments to answer specific questions. Interpretation of such experimental data is what creates value and intellectual property. When this data is stored as discrete parcels in different places without interconnected, valuable interpretation information, or if it cannot be easily accessed by other groups, the value to the organization is lost.
ACD/Labs helps create links between related chemical and analytical experiments, and stores live analytical information with its human interpretation—turning passive information into immediately useful chemical awareness about structures, reactions, mixtures, and schemas. Chemical data (such as predicted physicochemical and ADMET properties; nomenclature; various experimental results; biological data, and metadata) can also be added. This knowledge can be easily accessed, searched, and interrogated by scientists working in different groups or at different sites, to help answer new questions in current and future R&D projects. The burden on those administering these systems to the organization is also alleviated by offering a more streamlined informatics landscape.
Building on our strengths, ACD/Labs has helped numerous organizations automate and streamline workflows, and interpret and manage data, to make scientists more productive. Our software and services are used to create unique solutions that address the challenges of scientists, meet the requirements of informatics groups, and benefit the organization as a whole. Flexibility allows us to integrate with third-party software to enhance and support existing workflows, or create tailored solutions for more streamlined business informatics systems.
