CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Transforming Chemical Analysis
for the Industry

Data processing, interpretation, and automatic report generation are crucial steps
in recurring tasks such as formulation screening within the chemical manufacturing
industry. Bruker’s new NMR-based Avance Chemical Profiling Module simplifies these tasks.
It enables the identification and quantification of constituents in a mixture in raw
materials, process intermediates, and final product formulations, enhancing both
quality and efficiency across R&D, pilot, and large-scale production processes.
