Removing User Bias from Structure Verification

Joel Michalski Jun 15, 2022

This application note highlights how Unbiased Structure Verification (UBV) in ACD/NMR Workbook combines advanced structure generators with the finest ranking systems to select the ‘best structure’ corresponding to an NMR dataset.

Webinar I: What’s in my NMR tube? An overview to the process of structure characterization

Joel Michalski Jan 27, 2021

In the first webinar of our series, we start by matching the spectral data against the entries from open access databases to check if the compound has been previously identified and avoid repetition of work (dereplication). The next step in structure determination is to verify the match between a proposed structure and the experimental NMR...

Best Practices for Mixture Analysis by NMR

Joel Michalski Jun 16, 2020

Join this 40-minute webinar to hear about the effective strategies for the analysis of complex 1D and 2D NMR spectra of mixtures using ACD/Labs NMR tools.

Under the microscope: Mitigating risks in manufacturing processes

Joel Michalski Feb 1, 2020

In the light of recent media coverage about product recalls “particularly resulting from the detection and presence of NDMA” this article outlines ways to avoid the wide-ranging negative impacts on patients, pharmacies, manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and health authorities and offers ways to mitigate the risk of future recalls.

NMR Macro Applications and Development to Streamline Workflows at INVISTA

Joel Michalski May 2, 2019

This application note discusses how INVISTA’s Nylon intermediates plant implemented ACD/NMR Workbook Suite and a new workflow that reduces processing and reporting on a single spectrum from 20 minutes to 20 seconds.

Applications in MS: Meeting Modern Deformulation Challenges

Joel Michalski Jun 19, 2018

Current deformulation scientists face MASSive exSPECtations—they are required to detect, screen, and identify unknowns with increasing efficiency despite shrinking analytical group sizes, pressure to perform more diverse activities, increased outsourcing of work, and slow, tedious, and error-prone methods. As a result analysts are left with much less time to devote to complex deformulation projects, while...
