Software update adds significant new features providing enhanced capabilities for advanced spectroscopy, image analysis, high-throughput chemistry and regulatory compliance in research
Thermo Electron announces the release of version 7.2 of the Omnic Professional software suite for laboratory FT-IR and Raman spectrometers.
This update adds significant new features providing enhanced capabilities for advanced spectroscopy, image analysis, high-throughput chemistry and regulatory compliance in research, routine analysis and QA/QC environments.
Omnic 7.2 Professional offers analytical chemists, spectroscopists and lab managers a number of new tools to improve their productivity: new SpectraCorr software enables two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCos) with new algorithms and advanced imaging graphics.
SpectraCorr software addresses the most demanding spectroscopic analysis of dynamic chemical processes such as perturbation, reactions, temperature-dependant behaviours and photoacoustic depth profiling, says Thermo.
Omnic's Atlus imaging software, with its microscopic visualisation and spectral analysis capabilities, now includes advanced image analysis.
This provides chemically qualitative or quantitative answers from complex image maps using techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate curve resolution (MCR).
By combining Atlus with Thermo's Continuum XL FT-IR imaging microscope, it is now possible to perform chemical imaging with infrared spectroscopy.
Omnic's Array Automation software is designed for high-throughput chemical screening applications using FT-IR and Raman.
The software provides screening tools that enable data processing capabilities in parallel, high-throughput data collection activities.
Automated tools rapidly process spectral data and analysis tools such as cluster analysis produce results in vivid graphical representations Omnic's Array Automation software reduces data evaluation time from hours to minutes.
In this Omnic release, Thermo extends its ValPro instrument qualification package to FT-IR, Raman and sampling modules.
ValPro provides a flexible interface for running a wide variety of spectrometer, accessory or software qualification tests.
For the first time in the industry, it says, qualification procedures have been implemented for commonly used sample compartment accessories, such as ATR and diffuse reflectance, as well as FT-Raman and dispersive Raman systems.
Thermo says its whole-system approach represents a breakthrough in qualification tools that allows owners to put their instrument into commission quickly and efficiently.
