Results Matter
The Spectrum 10™ software supplied with your instrument enables you to control the instrument and to manipulate the spectra that you collect. The spectrometers can operate in ratio, single-beam, or interferogram mode.
From material and contaminant identification to quantitative analysis, the comprehensive Spectrum 10 software suite allows you to focus on what matters most – results. Designed for busy industrial or academic laboratories, this comprehensive FT-IR software package facilitates data collection, processing, and results generation. The software enables users without scientific training to generate infrared spectra from a sample and validate them against reference spectra in minutes, or even seconds. For regulated industries that demand secure IR quality testing, Spectrum 10 ES™ software is available. Spectrum 10 ES includes the comprehensive features of Spectrum 10 and encompasses user access control, audit trailing, data security, and data integrity to ensure secure analyses to meet the technical demands of 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
