ChemOffice+ Cloud Standard/Signals Notebook Bundle License will expire on April 5 2023.

Starting December 2022 the ChemOffice+ license is being replaced by a ChemDraw Prime campus license.

ChemDraw Prime is a complete “entry-level” drawing program that provides all the tools you need to quickly create chemically intelligent, publication-ready chemical structures and reactions, laboratory notes and experiment write-ups. As well as a full set of chemical structure essentials such as rings, bonds, chains, atoms and functional groups, ChemDraw Prime includes chemical and lab equipment templates and handy TLC and Gel Electrophoresis Plate drawing tools.

ChemDraw Prime includes the following features:

  • Analyze and check structures
  • Structure clean-up
  • Expand and contract labels
  • Create and use nicknames
  • Tetrahedral and geometric stereochemistry, including absolute and relative
  • Multicenter attachment points for haptic and other pi bonds
  • Chemical polymer tools
  • Calculate properties including pKa, LogP, LogS and tPSA and hotlink to structure
  • Read and write all common chemical and graphics files
  • Read JCamp and Galactic spectra files
  • Fragmentation tools
  • Special “copy/paste as” command for CDX, CDXML, molfile, SMILES, InChI and InChIKey (copy only)
  • In-place OLE editing of ChemDraw objects

ChemDraw is actively used in multiple chemical research groups within the Science Faculty and in the curriculum of the molecular sciences programs. Because of the user-friendliness and intuitive use of the software it is highly appropriate for student use.

Everyone with an e-mail account ending in @science.ru.nl, @ru.nl or @student.ru.nl is eligible to download the software and install it 3 times maximum.

The installation files for ChemDraw Prime (Windows and Mac-OS) are available on the PerkinElmer webpage:
