Spin Simulator is a powerful tool for creating simulations of NMR spectra, based on user-defined spin systems and reference spectra. You can use these simulations as starting points for creating your own compound signatures, especially if you need to create signatures at multiple magnet frequencies, or you want to create robust signatures with a strong theoretical backing.
To use Spin Simulator effectively, you'll need a basic understanding of NMR theory, and you should know how to interpret NMR spectra, especially J-coupling. If necessary, Chenomx experts can also provide compound fitting services and help develop specialized compound libraries for you.
For a hands-on introduction to Spin Simulator, see “Tutorial and Sample Files”.
