ACD/ChemCoder
When Do You Need 2D Barcodes of Structures?
• For visualstructure confirmation of a sample to instantly evaluate
stereochemistry, tautomerism, or other structural details not covered
by the provided chemical name or ID number
• For chemical stockcontrol when a chemical name or formula is not
sufficient
• To securely transfer chemical structure information between disparate

Why ACD/ChemCoder?

Chemists must always workwith structure names and shapes. Even the

best textual names in full compliance with IUPAC or CAS nomenclature
is not always an easy way to represent molecules. ACD/ChemCoder isACD/ChemCoder enables you to:

be able toretrieve the molecular structure, and/or

Frequently, chemists are unable to visually inspect and confirm the

chemicalstructure has now made this possible.
Unlike traditional 1D barcodes, ACD/Labs 2D barcode is not a link to a
structure stored elsewhere–IT IS THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, so there is no
need to refer to...
