The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Analytical Chemistry Core (ACC) requires an annual maintenance subscription for Chempacker CRAFT software used by the ACC for qNMR and mixture analysis. This annual maintenance subscription is essential to ACC research efforts in the processing and analysis of NMR experimental data for the identification and validation of chemical structures. NMR spectroscopy is arguably the most powerful analytical tool a chemist has at their disposal for the identification and confirmation of organic molecules. Medicinal chemists at DPI use the NMR instruments daily to collect compound data, as well as conduct more advanced NMR experiments overnight. The proprietary Chempacker CRAFT software is utilized by ACC NMR spectroscopists for the analysis of NMR experiments and the interpretation of NMR spectra. It is integral to the identification, validation, and purity analysis of a range of chemical modalities (e.g., small molecule, lipid, peptide, protein, etc.). The CRAFT software is integral for the operation of various workflows such as qNMR analysis and mixture analysis. Without the maintenance subscription we will not maintenance, updates, and new tools associated with the software, which would negatively impact research operations and productivity.
