Thermo's
GRAMS Spectroscopy Software Suite is the premier solution for visualizing,
processing and managing spectroscopy data offering broad compatibility
with many different instrument data types and a simple user interface.
Thousands of life and analytical science researchers rely on GRAMS powerful
collection of processing routines to solve some of their most difficult
data analysis problems. The GRAMS Suite improves access to data and facilitates
collaboration while reducing the need for multiple software packages and
associated training.
The latest version, GRAMS 8.0
provides the analytical scientist with an integrated, modular environment
in which to capture, store, process and report data derived from multiple
instrument systems.
Product
Detail
The GRAMS Spectroscopy Software Suite
provides a broad collection of tools to meet the needs of scientists engaged
in a wide variety of spectroscopic experiments and disciplines. The GRAMS
Suite is comprised of a set of complementary and fully integrated applications
and modules centred on the core GRAMS/AI spectroscopy
data processing and reporting software.
Using the unique SmartConvert
technology all GRAMS Suite applications are compatible with data files
from hundreds of different instrument control applications including Agilent/HP,
Beckman, Bio-Rad, Bruker, Gilson, Hitachi, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Varian
and Waters/Micromass. The GRAMS Suite also supports a number of general-purpose
data formats such as SPC, ASCII, JCAMP, and AnDI/NetCDF. For storing data,
the GRAMS Suite utilizes the universal SPC file format enabling scientists
to share data with colleagues easily and analyse it at their desks rather
than occupying valuable instrument workstations.
GRAMS/AI
The core application of the GRAMS Suite, GRAMS/AI is a comprehensive processing,
visualization and reporting package for data from many types of spectroscopic
instruments as well as hyphenated techniques. Its advanced processing
routines, data comparison and visualization features and its ability to
handle data from virtually any analytical instrument data station have
set the industry standard in scientific software.
Envision
A new tool included with GRAMS
8.0, Envision is a multi-format Microsoft® .NET instrument data viewer
with the capacity to host plug-in processing and reporting modules. Envision
enhances GRAMS Smart Convert technology with more than 20 new instrument
converters. It also offers support of the GAML open standard XML instrument
data format. GAML allows capture of more comprehensive instrument meta-data
and simplifies integration with LIMS, eLN and desktop applications. A
run-time version of Inform, a
drag-and-drop report designer built to complement GRAMS Envision, is included
as part of Envision.
Spectral
DB - now included free of charge with GRAMS/AI
As scientists work with increasingly large amounts of instrument data,
keeping track of their samples and experiments is becoming more
and more difficult. Often, researchers find themselves dealing with
more information than they can effectively manage. Spectral DB provides
a data management tool scalable from the desktop to the enterprise
for organizing spectra and chromatograms into a simple, searchable
database. Spectral DB supports Oracle, MS SQL Server and Access
database formats.
Spectral
ID
Spectral pattern matching or "library searching" is one of the
most efficient, effective methods for qualitative identification of compounds,
and Spectral ID is the most comprehensive searching software available.
Fast and easy to use, it includes algorithms for materials identification
using Mass Spectrometry, IR, Raman, UV-Vis, Fluorescence or NIR data.
Spectral ID is compatible with spectral libraries from Chemical Concepts,
NIST, Wiley, and Thermo which can be combined with user-built collections.
A Spectral ID Server application is
also available.
GRAMS/3D
Unlike static 3D plotting and rendering packages, GRAMS/3D is a true
real-time visualization software application that offers scientists
an interactive tool to view all the information in multidimensional
data sets such as GC-IR, LC-PDA, multidimensional spectroscopy,
2D-NMR, 2D-IR, or spectroscopic mapping experiments.
PLSplus/IQ
Multivariate data analysis methods have become common tools in applying
modern spectroscopic instruments to solve qualitative and quantitative
analysis problems. Chemometric techniques such as PLS, PCR, PCA and discriminant
analysis have become standard approaches to quickly analysing complex
samples from their spectral signatures. The PLSplus/IQ module extends
GRAMS/AI's capabilities with an easy to follow, step-by-step user interface
for creating and deploying chemometric calibration models for the laboratory
and the production line using PLS, PCR,PCA and Discriminant Analysis.
IQ
Predict ActiveApp
The IQ Predict ActiveApp module
can be used to apply PLSplus/IQ calibrations to spectral data from within
GRAMS/AI or as a separate stand-alone application. Prediction reports
can be formatted for easy output to printers, files or for input into
other applications.
QuickQuant ActiveApp
In situations with relatively simple samples, multivariate calibration
methods like PLS are often too complex and unnecessary. The QuickQuant
ActiveApp module for GRAMS/AI offers a simple, easily deployed least squares
regression calibration method for spectral data.
ReactionSleuth™ActiveApp
This toolbox for analysing spectroscopic reaction data allows you to extract
time-based trendlines from GRAMS® multifiles. ReactionSleuth™
includes visual tools for selecting features and using them to create
simple, or baseline-corrected, trendlines.
Peax for GRAMS
Systematix' plug-in database software tool is the ideal solution for searching
and identifying elements and molecules in a spectrum displayed in GRAMS/AI.
ExcelExchange
The ExcelExchange module allows seamless transfer of data between GRAMS/AI
spectral data files and Microsoft Excel worksheets. Data can be easily
transferred in both directions: from a GRAMS data file into an Excel worksheet
and from a worksheet to a data file.
Inform Report
Designer
Extends Envision's reporting
capabilities, allowing report methods to be designed interactively, stored
on file servers and used by multiple users in non-interactive mode.
