TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACD/Labs, a leading cheminformatics company, is celebrating their 20th anniversary this month. Two decades of experience have transformed ACD/Labs from a startup chemistry software provider into a successful company that develops and commercializes solutions and services relied upon by R&D researchers worldwide.

In 1994 when chemistry laboratories predominantly used computers as typewriters, a group of young chemists recognized the potential for computer assisted chemistry solutions. Focusing on tools to increase the productivity of a scientist’s daily work—chemical structure drawing, NMR predictors and databases, and hydrophobicity predictors resulting in logD and pKa software—they laid the foundation of the company. ACD/Labs’ offerings have diversified and grown since, from a handful of desktop products to cheminformatics platforms that can be deployed enterprise-wide.
