Fast, Accurate Identification of Complex Mixtures
Real-world samples often contain multiple compounds of unknown complexity. Conventional methods such as chromatography, IR, and UV spectroscopy require lengthy workflows and reference materials, which are ineffective when sample composition is uncertain or when standards are unavailable.
Nanalysis benchtop NMR, combined with Wiley’s KnowItAll, addresses these challenges. NMR provides the most comprehensive structural information of any analytical technique and is ideal for untargeted analysis without damaging samples. Our benchtop NMR is accessible, low-maintenance, and portable, allowing rapid measurements even outside traditional laboratories even outside traditional laboratories.
A Powerful Tandem: Nanalysis Benchtop NMR + KnowItAll
KnowItAll’s integrated, modular architecture moves logically from task to task — eliminating the friction of traditional NMR workflows. Three tools work seamlessly together: NMR data processing (ProcessIt), custom database creation (MineIt), and spectral identification through database matching (SearchIt). The result is a fast, efficient analytical environment that significantly reduces the need for specialized NMR expertise, enabling automated workflows from raw data through to final identification.
Build and Share Custom Reference Databases
The Nanalysis Edition of KnowItAll is a customized add-on software solution available exclusively through Nanalysis, designed to work seamlessly with your benchtop NMR. It comes pre-loaded with the Nanalysis NMR database — reference spectra optimized for benchtop NMR instruments operating at 60 MHz and 100 MHz field strengths — so analysts can get started with confident compound identification from day one, across a variety of sectors.
As your needs grow, the database is fully expandable. Using KnowItAll’s MineIt tool, users can add their own spectra at any time to build custom reference libraries tailored to their specific application. Adding new spectra is fast and highly automated — molecular structures, weights, chemical formulas, and spectral metadata are populated automatically, meaning only a common substance name is needed to complete an entry. Databases can include multiple analytical techniques per compound and can be shared across an organization — extending the reach of your resources without duplicating effort.
Users who need even broader coverage can further expand their capabilities with an optional add-on subscription to Wiley’s comprehensive KnowItAll NMR Spectral Library, which contains over 1.28 million 1D spectra for 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and X-NMR.
