Databases total over 80,000 spectra in more than 60 separate databases covering important areas such as polymers, surfactants, dyes, biochemicals, pesticides, forensics, and hazardous materials
ST Japan's ATR, transmission FT-IR, and Raman databases will now be available worldwide for use with ACD/Labs's UVIR Manager software.
ST Japan's databases total over 80,000 spectra in more than 60 separate databases covering important areas such as polymers, surfactants, dyes, biochemicals, pesticides, forensics, and hazardous materials.
Roughly half of this data has been collected by the Japanese government as transmission spectra (known as the SDBS database).
The remainder has been collected independently as ATR/FT-IR spectra by ST Japan and cooperatively under agreement with Smiths Detection and Sigma-Aldrich.
UVIR Manager is part of SpecManager, the overall spectroscopic processing and data management software that unifies analytical data information of all types into a single interface.
Composed of three tightly integrated industry-leading modules, UVIR Manager provides the ability to manipulate and manage optical spectra in a continuous range from 1cm-1 to 100 000cm-1, while taking advantage of advanced chemical drawing and reporting features.
Michael Boruta, optical spectroscopy product manager at ACD/Labs, states: "We are pleased to be working with ST Japan to make these high quality 100% FT-IR databases available to our SpecManager customers.
"This data collection represents the largest available collection of ATR-FTIR spectra, and is one of the largest complete FT-IR collections available".
Richard Shaps, head of ST Japan USA, adds: "We are pleased to be working with ACD/Labs in order to make our databases available for use with the ACD/UVIR Manager software."
