Bristol University to Deploy ACD/2D NMR Processor Site-Wide for Advanced Processing and Data Analysis
Toronto, Canada (August 28, 2006)— Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) has just announced that Bristol University has purchased a site license for 2D NMR Processor, to provide all students, faculty, and staff at the University with unlimited access to the software.
ACD/2D NMR Processor supports all major NMR formats and provides capabilities for desktop processing, analyzing, and interpretation for all 1D and 2D NMR experiments. ACD/2D NMR Processor will be used by Bristol University to reduce the bottlenecks in their NMR instrument rooms by providing all students and staff with offline desktop processing of NMR data. In addition, the advanced flexibility of this product enables it to be used as an effective teaching tool as structures can be attached to peaks and correlations in experimental spectra, an invaluable tool for teaching spectral interpretation in the classroom.
Dr. Craig Butts, Ph.D, Director of the NMR Facility in the School of Chemistry at Bristol University, adds, “The world-class research and teaching conducted in the School of Chemistry at Bristol demands access to the highest quality NMR data. We are in the process of upgrading both our hardware and data processing facilities. Following in-house testing of a number of options, we found that the ACD/Labs software provides us with a robust and versatile platform, enabling students to maximise the quality and accuracy of experiments and reports. The opportunity to work with the industry standard software while undertaking academic research, or as part of their undergraduate degree, is a key advantage to our students. ACD/Labs were also able to offer us a competitively priced and flexible site license that meets the range of access requirements of both the students and staff members at Bristol.”

About the School of Chemistry at University of Bristol
The University of Bristol was founded as a university college in 1876, with just 99 students. It was the first college in the country to admit women and men on an equal footing. Today Bristol has around 23,000 students, including some 11,500 full-time undergraduates, and a top academic reputation. The main body of the university is located in the heart of Bristol city centre.
The School of Chemistry is one of the largest in the United Kingdom with about 50 academic staff, 600 undergraduate students, 200 post-graduate research students and 70 post-doctoral workers. The School is an internationally recognized centre of excellence in both teaching and research – being only one of six in the country to hold the highest possible research ranking (5*) in the last assessment exercise. In addition, the School has recently been recognized as the only Chemistry Centre of Excellence for Teaching and Learning (Bristol ChemLabS) – a ~£20m investment by HEFCE and the University in its laboratories and facilities.
