MicroLab Expert
Expert FTIR analysis made simple and repeatable
- Agilent MicroLab Expert is an advanced FTIR spectroscopy software that provides a new level of flexibility and spectral visualization for Agilent FTIR spectrometers. This state of-the-art software is designed for use when spectral visualization and data processing are required to tackle sophisticated analytical challenges.
- MicroLab Expert provides the advanced user spectral visualization tools, data manipulation, and processing capabilities that are critical to support method development, IR interpretation, organic synthesis and R&D, and non-routine lab work. MicroLab Expert provides an ideal balance between ease of operation and sophisticated data handling.
- View spectral information before and during collection from Cary FTIR spectrometers or an Agilent handheld or portable FTIR system
- Process and optimize spectroscopic data with standard mathematical functions including normalization, derivatives, baseline correction, spectral arithmetic, smoothing, and peak picking
- Present complex spectral data in a meaningful way by selecting the 2D or 3D data visualization mode (e.g., contour graph, surface plot, waterfall view) best suited to extract valuable information
- Transfer of data and methods integrates MicroLab Expert seamlessly into the standard MicroLab software suite
- Identify unknown material by using the library search function, which compares the measured spectrum against a large database of known IR spectra
- Get a helping hand with the IR interpretation of spectra through a comprehensive set of customizable interpretation rules for categorizing IR bands and assigning them to particular functional groups
- Discover correlations between spectral data and sample characteristics using the optional Chemometrics and Prediction module, featuring a calibration model wizard that guides the creation and editing of quantitative calibrations models
- Perform reaction monitoring, trend analysis, and process analysis with the optional Reaction Monitoring module, featuring a simple Reaction wizard that allows the quick and easy setup of new reaction runs
- Can be used with Cary FTIR spectrometers and Agilent handheld and portable FTIR systems
