Analytical Data Management and ChemAnalytics®
Today's scientific enterprise requires a method to efficiently collect and archive the massive volumes of analytical and chemical data that flood their organization on a daily basis. At the same time, scientists and their managers need convenient ways to effectively analyze data and communicate results, both internally and externally. Furthermore, for many managers worldwide, conservation and easy access to the legacy data accumulated in-house becomes a priority.
Advance Your Research by Assimilating and Connecting Different Forms of Data
In order to effectively advance with a chemical project, results from multiple analytical techniques and all relevant chemical information have to be assembled together for analysis and interpretation. It is highly beneficial to have all of them unified into a single data repository for convenient review.
The first step is to ensure that all of the pertinent data can be easily assembled. ACD/Labs offers one of the most versatile chemical drawing software packages in the world, and works hand in hand with all of the industry's leading providers of analytical instrumentation to unite data from multiple sources and vendors in one interface. Read more about the benefits of vendor-neutral handling of analytical data on our pages dedicated to Analysis and Processing of Spectroscopic Data.
The second step is to create chemically relevant links between the results. This is implemented through the ACD/Labs technique-specific data management modules, developed by an expert team of chemists and analysts. The cross-technique functionality is particularly important in dealing with hyphenated data. Here is the partial list of possible techniques: 1H and 13C NMR, 2D NMR, HPLC, LC/DAD, Gas Chromatography, GC/IR, Mass Spectrometry, LC/MS, Infrared, Raman, UV-Vis-NIR, X-Ray Powder Diffraction, DSC, and TGA.
Another valuable approach to streamlining research processes involves the automation of various processes: from unified processing and reporting at the click of a button, to comprehensive integration and distribution of analytical data, structures, and sample information. Read further to discover the possible options enabled by ACD/Labs software, and see how these options are utilized by chemical enterprises.
Combining all of the results together not only simplifies and speeds up decision-making, but also provides additional insights that facilitate deeper chemical understanding.
Communicate Results and Gain Easy Access to Data
Does it often happen in your organization that a mountain of incomplete tasks grows due to organizational problems, such as delays in obtaining analytical results, or communication issues between the departments? When this happens, a "start and stop" pattern emerges in the lab, pre-occupying a chemist's creative mind with tedious logic and reducing productivity. Convenient and instant access to the experimental data provides numerous benefits for both individuals and organizations, and streamlines the overall research process. Repeat requests are eliminated, since easy-to-locate prior results can be thoroughly reviewed in full detail. A unified database of analytical results is accessible to all designated users throughout the company, regardless of their geographic location, and paired with simple sample handling procedures. This not only significantly improves both the speed of decision making and the overall efficiency of R&D research, but also creates a corporate legacy knowledge base.

Reuse Experimental Results
Experimental data is expensive to create, but is often applied only to the question that motivated the experiment in the first place. Once that immediate goal is achieved, the data is often left to the side, never to be employed again.
ACD/Labs believes that each experimental result should be utilized to benefit every experiment that comes later in the research process. To this end, we have developed tools that help scientists to:
We at ACD/Labs are proud to be the first company that offers a complete and comprehensive solution that we call ChemAnalytics.
ChemAnalytics
ChemAnalytics™ is the application of computational tools and information systems that forms intelligent links among chemical structures, properties, and analytical data to efficiently generate knowledge, increase laboratory throughput, and disseminate information.
