System gives scientists who analyse samples using multiple spectral techniques the ability to simultaneously and seamlessly combine all spectral information available to yield a single search result
Bio-Rad Laboratories has released KnowItAll 5.0 featuring, advanced multi-technique database searching.
This software enables users to define searches in multiple spectral techniques concurrently in a single software platform - even across multiple databases - and view consolidated results.
The KnowItAll spectral searching system gives scientists who analyse samples using multiple spectral techniques the ability to simultaneously and seamlessly combine all spectral information available to yield a single search result.
While traditional spectral search and analysis software programs only focus on one spectral technique at a time, the KnowItAll system searches and consolidates data from all spectral techniques at the same time, providing dramatically improved search accuracy and efficiency.
"Being able to search multiple spectral techniques concurrently and obtain a single result is a major step forward for spectral analysis and structure elucidation," said Gregory Banik, Bio-Rad's general manager of informatics.
"This unique approach to spectral searching is a breakthrough that distinguishes the KnowItAll system from all other spectral software systems".
Searches may include substructures, properties, and a variety of experimental spectra, including NMR, MS, IR, and Raman.
The system also provides additional visualisation and data mining tools that simplify results, along with special search tools to weight the importance of each data input and define how it factors into the final result.
KnowItAll software and database solutions for spectroscopy have become industry standards in both commercial and academic laboratories worldwide with a unique blend of spectral data, along with state-of-the-art software for database building, management, search, analysis, prediction, and reporting, claims Bio-Rad.
Notably, this spectroscopy software has been recognised as the best in the Scientific Computing and Instrumentation Readers' Choice Awards four years in a row.
