Agilent introduced the latest version of its data-acquisition software for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The new software, VnmrJ 4.0, provides enhanced spectral quality with every measurement, along with all the tools necessary to make magnet, probe and console work together to generate optimal results. Key tools and benefits include:

• Adaptive NMR automatically adjusts measurement time so that each experiment captures the information needed, and no measurement takes longer than necessary, in areas like education and drug discovery where time is precious and resources are shared.
• Non-uniform sampling methods generate sharper spectra with shorter measurement time, maximizing productivity for pharmaceutical and industrial chemists.
• BioPack Express provides single-click setup for the most frequently performed biological NMR experiments, making it the ideal environment for research biologists focused on problem solving by NMR.
• The CRAFT (Complete Reduction to Amplitude Frequency Table) spectrum-to-spreadsheet solution provides the fastest, most effective method of automatically quantifying all signals in even the most complex spectra. CRAFT analysis can be applied to an entire spectral series with the same effort required for a single spectrum, making it ideal for high-throughput applications such as metabolomics, food science and quality control.
