Software for Academia

Virtual Teaching and Research Enabled with ACD/Labs Software Tools

ACD/Labs has supported academia with software for teaching and research for more than two decades. Read about software that is available for individual classroom/laboratory instruction or site-wide deployment at your institution for research and education.

Researchers

  • Conveniently process and interpret analytical data away from the instrument, and maximize experiment time at the instrument
  • Use prediction tools to gain insights, aid data interpretation, focus experiments, and speed research
  • Create professional reports, presentations, and publication-ready figures to help communicate your research

Educators

  • Prepare students for today's workplace with an introduction to industry-standard scientific software
  • Use simulation tools in the absence of hands-on access to laboratory equipment and instruments
  • Create rich teaching materials for virtual classroom/virtual laboratory instruction and online study

Foundational Software for Science

Structure Drawing

Quickly and easily draw all kinds of chemical structures including polymers, organometallics, and Markush structures with ACD/ChemSketch Freeware. The software optimizes spatial configuration and also lets you view structures in 2D or 3D. Generate IUPAC nomenclature for molecules with fewer than 50 atoms and 3 ring structures.

A site license installation of ACD/ChemSketch is available free for academic institutions.

Chemical Nomenclature

Generate systematic names from chemical structures according to IUPAC nomenclature rules, and creates chemical structures from systematic, trade, and trivial names, and registry numbers with ACD/Name.

Need a simpler version? ACD/Name (Chemist Version) offers a standardized set of features for quick and simple generation of IUPAC names, and structures from names.
