Comprehensive hands-off automation from physical sample to digital report
seamlessly integrated into the standard NMR instrument control software
Our new NMR-based Advanced Chemical Profiling Software offers a truly automated, end-to-end workflow from sample to actionable information, eliminating the need for hands-on spectroscopist intervention.
Advanced Chemical Profiling processes, and interprets NMR data and files conclusive reports. It is easily applicable to substances in pure form or mixtures allowing identification and quantification of constituents in incoming goods, process intermediates, and final product formulations. The comprehensive workflow automation enhances process efficiency and quality in R&D lab-scale, pilot, and volume production processes.
The database-driven solution allows in-house NMR experts to create and implement new testing methods directly in non-NMR-expert production environments. The software automation achieves increased result consistency and comparability with operator-independent report generation.
The completely automated but tailored workflows add significant value to high-throughput environments such as production-linked labs, analytical testing services, R&D centers, and pilot-upscaling support functions within centers of excellence.
dsm-firmenich Science & Research
At dsm-firmenich, we’re at the forefront of innovation in nutrition, health, and beauty. We create sustainable solutions that impact our daily lives. Our cutting-edge approaches drive progress, with one area of focus being the development of novel bioprocesses.
In our R&D lab, we regularly use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to screen new fermentation processes. These advanced bioprocesses involve complex mixtures of media components and metabolites. Our goal is to gain an in-depth understanding and enable data-based development of new procedures.
Through our long-standing partnership with Bruker, we have been testing the latest software release from their Advanced Chemical Profiling Solution. This supports the development of the kinds of analytical workflows we use, seamlessly integrating data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and report filing. It streamlines analytical workflows and makes it easier to compare results.
Bruker’s software platforms can be used to support scale-up from development to manufacturing. As new production routes are rolled out into manufacturing, process monitoring with a benchtop NMR system would be feasible. Bruker’s Fourier 80 benchtop system, equipped with the same Advanced Chemical Profiling Solution, could support process control in production labs.
An integrated NMR methodology - combining high-field NMR in R&D labs with benchtop systems in manufacturing - opens exciting opportunities for the industry. End-to-end use of Bruker’s solutions can make it easier to develop efficient, scalable processes.

Bruker’s new Advanced Chemical Profiling software can significantly enhance the mixture analysis process due to its robust and accurate identification and quantification feature. The complete integration into the instrument control software TopSpin and the sample automation software IconNMR™ allows for comprehensive workflow creation from the sample in the queue till the analysis report. Various concentration units and intuitive internal and external reference management makes the new software suitable for many existing analytical workflows. Once the individual methods are validated and implemented into the automated workflow, the push-button operation and operator-independent data interpretation matches industrial product quality control requirements.
The Avance Chemical Profiling Module helps to generate robust, reproducible quantifications of the measured data. As soon as a database is set up accordingly, the process of using the new software module does not require NMR expert knowledge. This procedure should be well suited for production environments where the contents of the samples are comparable and the sample matrices are not too complex.
