ACD/Labs 2015 cheminformatics software builds upon the capabilities of the ACD/Spectrus and ACD/Percepta platforms. The ACD/Spectrus Platform is designed to make it easier for organizations to handle unified analytical data from multiple techniques and instruments. Latest developments are focused on improving usability; providing faster, clearer access to data; greater flexibility in data interpretation; and offering advanced capabilities for chromatographic method development. Recommendations from the 2013 IUPAC ‘Blue Book’ — the first revision to be published in two decades — are addressed in the 2015 version of the nomenclature software, ACD/Name. The ACD/Percepta Platform features improvements in the speed of calculation of physicochemical and ADME-Tox properties and expanded capabilities to leverage organizational knowledge.
