Mass Spectrometry Software for Advanced Spectral Interpretation and Structure Verification

The Ultimate Package for Detecting, Identifying, and Characterizing LC/MS & GC/MS Components

ACD/MS Workbook Suite provides mass spectrometrists with expert tools for identifying and characterizing compounds using LC/UV/MS & GC/MS data.

• Import files from most major instrument vendors, including Agilent, Bruker, LECO, PerkinElmer, SCIEX, Shimadzu, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waters, and more.
• Facilitate knowledge sharing by enabling efficient generation of spectral, chromatographic, and structure libraries, as well as customizable reports.

Identification

Utilize the exclusive IntelliTarget algorithm for targeted screening of known compounds, to identify expected components, regardless of concentration or sample complexity.

Rapidly identify "known unknown" components using the Intelligent Component Recognition workflow to screen experimental MS data against internal or commercial spectral libraries (ex., Wiley and NIST).

^†If you are a Shimadzu customer or intend to import Shimadzu data, check if any Shimadzu software has already been installed on the same computer prior to installing any of the ACD/Labs mass spectrometry packages. Problems can occur if both are installed on the same computer. For further assistance, please contact ACD/Labs Technical Support.

Streamline MS workflows by automating routine data processing, file migration, and population of structure databases with predicted physicochemical properties.

Integrate MS Workbook Suite with other applications, such as a laboratory information management system (LIMS), to augment laboratory informatics systems with enhanced analytical chemistry capabilities.

ACD/MS Structure ID Suite

Efficiently identify unknown components by using parent accurate mass values to predict molecular formulae, then use this data to search integrated ChemSpider and PubChem structure databases. Perform additional structural and retention time filtering of database hits, and employ Auto Assignment to evaluate the top structure candidates.

Wiley Mass Spectral Databases in ACD/Labs Format

Through direct partnership with Wiley, ACD/Labs offers multiple mass spectral databases for purchase in our native format (*.cfd). These databases include hundreds of thousands of MS spectra, covering a wide range of chemical types, that enhance ACD/MS Workbook Suite's screening, identification, and deformulation capabilities.
