Analytical Reports and Chemical Publication

Almost every chemistry-related project is concluded with a report, whether it be an internal document, publication, or patent application. The effort required to produce these reports usually involves chemists spending countless hours trying to manually decipher chemical structures from large strings of complicated text (or vice versa), or laying out all of the structural, analytical, and textual information in a formatted, professional fashion in accordance with the external requirements.

The advent of high-throughput chemistry has introduced several new challenges to chemical reporting and publishing. The accelerating speed at which synthetic structures are developed might require you to identify thousands of new compounds daily instead of just a few. Are there more convenient ways to report the findings to colleagues, partners, and clients?

Compile Analytical Reports

Modern chemistry decisions are made through the use of a wide number of analytical techniques like DSC, DMA, IR, Raman, NMR, chromatography, mass spectrometry, LC(GC)/MS, and X-ray powder diffraction to name just a few. Even at the most advanced organizations, where analytical data is captured, reviewed, stored, and retrieved electronically, a hard copy report is usually produced at the completion of a project. This is especially relevant for companies whose products are regulated by stringent governmental laws. Time-consuming and tedious assembly and annotation of the analytical data can be streamlined and facilitated by all ACD/Labs processing software. The reporting process is simplified further by providing seamless integration of chemical information with Microsoft Office products. Review the brief summary of the available capabilities here.

Create Reports Automatically with Custom Templates and Processes

In many instances, creating reports can take more manual intervention than acquiring the data itself. Produce tailored reports at the click of a button according to custom layouts that concisely communicate only relevant information and results. Use macro commands to automatically choose the appropriate report layout. For example, structure verification can be conveyed more succinctly by using different layouts for passed or failed tests.

Create Compelling Reports and Publications

Publishing scientific data is a key component of every chemist's role, whether it is for internal or external use. As scientific publishers, it is vitally important to ensure that the information provided to colleagues, partners, clients, and the scientific community is presented as clearly and accurately as possible. ACD/Labs offers a number of products that can help.

• Our state-of-the-art structure drawing and reporting package enables chemists to seamlessly turn their chemistry content into publication-quality documents, reports, and presentations. Most importantly, accelerating reporting tasks and the submission of scientific papers frees up scientists' time for their core research.
• ACD/Labs' renowned Nomenclature software generates accurate and consistent IUPAC and Index (CAS) chemical names, and recreates structures from systematic names. Review available Naming products and services that help scientists ensure highest quality of chemical nomenclature.

Access data and reports on the web

With both public and secure networks becoming an integral part of our life and business routine, many companies choose to distribute their chemical data over the secure Intranet or make it public over the Internet. ACD/Labs has created a number of tools to help chemists and their companies make sharing of chemical information over the internet easier and more efficient. Read more.
