ChemAnalytical Workbook Overview
Store & Share Live Analytical Data from Any Techniques and Data Format
ACD/ChemAnalytical Workbook helps you centralize your analytical data. Manage data from different techniques and formats, all in one application.
- Create a database of analytical data—LC/MS, GC/MS, 1D & 2D NMR, UV, IR, and more
- Import, process, and interpret analytical data from all major instrument vendor formats
- Connect structure(s) and interpretation information with spectra and chromatograms
- Search the database using a variety of spectral, structural, textual, and numerical criteria
- Report all sample characterization results from one software interface
Benefits
Capture & Share Live Analytical Knowledge
One Software Interface for Analytical Data
- Assemble all your analytical data in one place regardless of technique or instrument used to gather it
Improve Data Integrity
- Establish data access and change permissions so only approved users can modify data
Easy Search and Find
- Say goodbye to searching in multiple systems to find the data you’re looking for. Chemical and spectral search parameters help you find the information you need quickly and easily.
Automate to Increase Productivity
- Increase productivity through automation—monitor instruments or data sources to sweep data and automate processing, interpretation, and storage
Enhance Data Access & Collaborate Effortlessly
- Make analytical knowledge available to whoever needs it
- Store the human interpretation and knowledge gained from analytical experiments so data can be quickly understood and re-used by you and your colleagues
Store Live Data with Chemical Context
- Live analytical data in the database can be reviewed, reprocessed, and re-analyzed with a double-click
- Connect chemical information (chemical structures, reactions, and schema) with analytical data, so you can make decisions quickly and retain experimental context
Report with Ease
- Quickly create a comprehensive multi-technique report
- Customize report templates to suit your needs
- Assemble publication-ready data using popular journal templates
- 1 Import raw NMR, LC/MS, GC/MS, or other analytical data from any major instrument vendor
- 2 Process and interpret the data with technique-specific tools
- 3 Search the shared database to speed data analysis and structure identification
- 4 Store results to the database with a few clicks
- 5 Share & report your analysis

- Validate input against specified criteria
- Merge, intersect, or compare databases
- Customize and extend the functionality of your database with scripting
Search
- Search internally created libraries and commercial libraries in ACD/Labs format
- Search by molecular structure (exact/substructure/similar); Markush structure using query atoms and bonds; peaks, spectra, or other spectral/chromatographic elements; text or numerical values; formula weight or range; and a variety of spectral searching capabilities (peak/exact/similar)
- Search multiple data fields simultaneously
- Query multiple databases at the same time
- Save complex search queries to perform similar searches in other databases
Reporting
- Print reports directly from the database record
- Create custom report templates
- Export to Microsoft Office documents (Word, PowerPoint), and Adobe PDF
Enterprise-Level Tools
- Define access levels for individual users or groups of users; restrict viewing, adding, deleting, and modification functions for databases, records, projects, components within reactions, and attached files
- Search local and remote databases
- Handle all analytical data—chromatographic (LC/MS, GC/MS, HPLC), mass spectral, 1D and 2D NMR, optical (Raman, IR, UV/Vis), thermal, gravometric, XRPD, and more
- Process data with technique specific tools: peak detect/peak pick, smooth, correct baseline, integrate, calculate peak areas, etc.
- Automate data processing if desired
- Assisted spectral analysis and interpretation
- Attach chemical structures to chromatographic peaks to evaluate consistency through color-coded ‘MS Match’
- Evaluate spectrum/structure consistency using quantitative NMR Match Factor values
- Use included databases to help structure identification
- Optical databases: ST Japan IR Demo Library, IRDEMO, IR Assigned Polymers, and Raman Assigned Amino Acids
- Chromatographic methods database (1444 HPLC/UHPLC and 275 GC methods with structure assignments)
- Attach chemical structures and structure fragments to spectra and chromatograms
- Visualize series of spectral and chromatographic data
- Create comprehensive reports including annotations on chromatograms and spectra, method parameters, peak tables, formatted NMR multiplet reports, and more
Additional MS Tools
- Detect peaks and generate extracted ion chromatograms (XICs), total ion chromatograms (TICs), and total absorbance chromatograms (TACs)
- Automate extraction of relevant chromatograms from structure/formula/mass
- Automatic confirmation of mass/molecular formula
- Interpret mass spectra based on assigned mass or chemical structure
Additional Optical Tools
- Handle a variety of optical techniques including infrared spectroscopy (IR, NIR, FIR, MIR, UV-Vis), absorption, Raman, reflectance, fluorescence, phosphorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and spectroscopic ellipsometry
- Import data from Bruker, JASCO, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific (Nicolet, Galactic), and more
- Advanced peak fitting for peak deconvolution—model an experimental spectrum with a sum of analytical peak functions: Gauss, Lorentz, or mixed (Gauss and Lorentz). Peak positions, intensities, widths, and shapes (fraction of Lorentz function, in the case of the mixed model) are adjusted during iterative optimization to fit the calculated summary curve to points in the experimental spectrum.
Other Techniques
- Handle a wide range of analytical data, including EELS (Electron Energy Loss Spectra), thermal analysis (DSC, DTA, TGA), DMA, calorimetry, titrimetric methods, voltametric methods, x-ray methods (powder diffraction, fluorescence, and photoelectron), ESR spectroscopy, and kinetics
- Perform various X- and Y-axis conversions and data manipulation manually or automatically
