Semmelweis chooses chemical databasing
tool
Provides ability to manage thousands of files with chemical structures, reactions, and reports, create and compare databases, predict chemical properties, and group and analyse data
Advanced Chemistry Development reports that the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, has chosen the chemical databasing tool ChemFolder as its first electronic notebook for instructors, researchers, and students The Institute licenced ChemFolder through ACD/Labs's Academic Site licencing programme, created in March 2004 to give educational institutions throughout the world the ability to implement industry-standard chemistry software at affordable academic prices

More sophisticated chemical data management
Enhanced searching, retrieving, and reporting capabilities make it easier than ever to effectively manage multitudes of chemical data from various instruments and devices
Through the agreement coordinated by CheMicro Research and Development, the official ACD/Labs distributor for Hungary, the Institute has also been equipped with a full year of access to ACD/Labs Online (I-Lab), the internet-based service that provides instant access to the latest chemical databases and property prediction programs for NMR spectra, molecular physical properties, and Iupac- and CAS index-based systematic nomenclature.
Professor Peter Matyus, director of the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Semmelweis University, states: "We are satisfied that the user-friendly ACD/ChemFolder software will meet all of our needs as a laboratory notebook.
"In addition, both research and education will benefit from the added value of having access to databasing and prediction tools through ACD/Labs Online".

Antal Lopata, managing director for CheMicro, adds, "We are happy that we could not only meet the Institute's needs for an electronic notebook, but also provide them with a complete suite of chemical drawing, databasing, naming, and prediction capabilities through ACD/Labs's affordable academic offering".# Guy DesMarquets, director of European operations for ACD/Labs, furthers adds: "It brings me great satisfaction to see the academic world adopting our technologies, from drawing and databasing to spectroscopic and physicochemical prediction.
"I am happy to see this happening at Semmelweis, and I believe this adoption will foster the further use of our software throughout Hungary".
ChemFolder provides the ability to manage thousands of separate files with chemical structures, reactions, and reports, as well as create and compare databases, predict chemical properties, and group and analyse data using advanced graphical presentation.
It contains a powerful search system with an extensive range of both basic and advanced search capabilities for retrieving records by numerous properties and structural attributes, including substructure, structure similarity, stereoisomers, subreactions, and several others.
ACD/Labs's Academic Site licencing programme includes discounted annual site licenses of their top-of-the-line chemical structure drawing and databasing tools, including ChemSketch, ChemFolder, and Labs Online.
Pricing is based on the size of an academic institution, making a site license an affordable option for even the smallest establishment.
