Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the availability of several new spectral databases.

The new databases available are the Sadtler ATR of Basic Polymers, which contains 503 ATR/FT-IR spectra of commercially available compounds for scientists involved in polymer chemistry, including research, design, manufacture and quality control; the Sadtler ATR of Inorganics, which includes 269 ATR/FT-IR spectra which are representative of many anions and polyatomic ions to inorganic materials; the Sadtler ATR of Organometallics, which includes 176 ATR/FT-IR spectra compiled specifically for scientists who study or use organometallic compounds; the Sadtler ¹³C NMR of Monomers and Polymers database—a database of 742 spectra which can be used by scientists engaged in the study of polymer, monomer and resin compounds using ¹³C NMR analysis and the HaveItAll UV-vis database has had 7000 spectra added to its collection, giving a current total of 21,000 spectra.
