Spectroscopists can benefit from techniques such as the transfer of data between applications, multi-file operations, advanced quantitative analysis and prediction of spectral data
Thermo Electron has announced the availability of a new series of add-on processing software applications, called ActiveApps, for its spectral data processing package, Grams/AI.
Thermo's ActiveApps extend the capabilities of Grams/AI to allow faster, more powerful processing and unrivalled flexibility.
Based upon Microsoft 's latest ActiveX technology, ActiveApps allow spectroscopists to benefit from performing advanced processing techniques, such as the transfer of data files between applications, a variety of multi-file operations, advanced quantitative analysis and for the prediction of spectral data files.
The informatics business of Thermo Electron was formerly separately doing business as Thermo Galactic and Thermo LabSystems.
Each of the ActiveApps offers features to radically enhance the user experience and improve user productivity.
New client interfaces and a high level of configurability mean that users are now able to set up their own menus and toolbar buttons in each of the ActiveApps, thereby customising the interface to suit the way each user works.
The set of ActiveApps include:- IQ Predict - A chemometrics prediction application that can now predict spectral data files against quantitative or qualititative models built with Thermo Electron 's PLSplus/IQ chemometrics software.
QuickQuant - Using QuickQuant the spectroscopist can use classic methods of band height or band area for univariate quantitative analysis.
ExcelExchange - Now allows the transferal of data between SPC-format files and Microsoft Excel worksheets, through the use of a simple-to-use software wizard.
AMT (Active Multi-file Tool) - The brand new AMT provides support for a series of multi-file operations, including the creation of multi-files from individual spectra.
AMT enables users to split multi-files into individual spectra files based on the industry-leading SPC format.
Grams/AI is a comprehensive suite of spectroscopy software for data importing, processing, managing and visualization.
The capability of Grams/AI to handle all types of spectral and chromatographic data from virtually any analytical instrument is unique to the industry.
In addition to ActiveApps processing routines, Thermo also offers spectral data archiving and searching packages, Spectral DB and Spectral ID.
