Yes, it is official, Mnova 12 has finally been released! There's quite a lot to tell about it: better interface (optional), new processing and analysis features, improved tools, 64 bits and so on.
Rather than making a comprehensive review on the new features of this version, I’m going to try to show the essentials changes in digestible chunks, starting with changes in the User Interface. Embracing the Ribbon interface
Mnova started as an NMR only application with limited functionality. Over the years, the application has been growing steadily, both in terms of NMR functionality and the addition of new plug-ins such as LC/GC/MS, molecular editing, DB, just to cite a few.
As a result, what initially fit seamlessly within a traditional user interface (with menu bars and toolbars), has become an increasingly complex application to navigate, particularly when more than one plug-in is installed.
For a few years we have been analyzing carefully alternatives to de-clutter the user interface. After much discussion, we finally came to the conclusion that the Ribbon interface was really the one that best suited our needs (or, more importantly, yours).
One of the most interesting features of this interface is that it allows you to focus on a particular plugin (e.g. NMR) without the functionality of another plugin getting in the way. Hate the Change? No problem
We understand that this change is drastic and not everyone will be happy with it. So, what if you absolutely hate this new interface? No problem, you won’t be forced to use it! You will just be able to switch it off in the Preferences (Modern == Ribbon).
Nevertheless, from my point of view, the Ribbon interface improves usability and User Experience and therefore I strongly recommend it ahead of the traditional User Interface. This is our first ribbon implementation and, therefore, I am sure it still has a lot of room for improvement. If you use it, any suggestions will be very welcome!
[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] vnmrj spectra in mnova
vnmrj spectra in mnova
I have been trying to open varian vnmrj spectra in mnova software to workup the spectra, but I keep getting error messages saying that the .fid file cannot be read in mnova. I have heard that there is a way to get mnova to read these files, but I haven't found any answers. I just prefer working up data on my own computer so I don't have to waste NMR time working up spectra on lab computers. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!

Background: spectroscopy and chemometrics
“For many years, there was the prevailing view that if one needed fancy data analyses, then the experiment was not planned correctly, but now it is recognized that most systems are multivariate in nature and univariate approaches are unlikely to result in optimum solutions.”

I’m very happy to announce that after a long period of very intensive work, version 9.0 of Mnova is finally ready! From our point of view, this version is probably the most ambitious release we have attempted since Mnova was created. Aside from many improvements and bug fixes, this new version comes with great new features, including support for Non Uniform Sampling (NUS), a powerful PCA module, Reference Deconvolution, Absolute Referencing and many, many more.
