The purpose of the qualitative analysis laboratory is to help students build proficiency in determining the structure of unknown organic compounds containing a variety of functional groups. The synthesis simulation allows for over 1,000,000 possible outcomes and contains a spectra library with over 700 spectra for each available analytical technique. Products can also be purified by distillation or recrystallization. The analytical techniques available in both the synthesis and qualitative analysis benches include 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, Mass Spectrometry (MS), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The general features of the synthesis simulation include the ability to select starting materials, solvents, and reagents to synthesize targeted products build an appropriate synthesis apparatus workup reaction mixtures and perform extractions and use a variety of analytical tools to characterize intermediates and products. Virtual ChemLab Organic has seven individual lab benches:

Built over a Science SDK developed through 20 years of research at BYU, Beyond Labz creates open-ended virtual lab experiences that provide students with opportunities to experiment, practice, fail, discover and learn without the limitations, expense and safety constraints of an actual laboratory.
