Molecular Spectroscopy Software

Spectra Manager Suite

A unique and powerful, cross-platform suite of software tools for controlling a truly comprehensive range of molecular spectroscopy instrumentation. Design experimental methods, acquire data and get results quickly.

Molecular Spectroscopy Software

Spectra Manager™ Suite is an innovative cross-platform molecular spectroscopy software. This single solution for data analysis is a unique and powerful way to measure,  process, display and report data from any JASCO spectroscopy system including UV-Visible/NIR, Fluorescence, FTIR, Circular Dichroism, ORD, LD, Raman, Polarimeters. The single intuitive user-interface is found across the entire range of  instruments eliminating the need to learn multiple software packages.

  • Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 Professional or Enterprise
  • 21 CFR part 11 compliance
  • Validation for GxP
  • Control of all JASCO spectroscopy instruments
  • Control of multiple instruments from a single PC
  • Analysis and comparison of many types of spectral data in a single user interface
  • Users only need to be familiar with a single software package
  • Flexible data display with publication quality printing
  • Supports standard data formats such as ASCII, CSV, text and J-Camp for export to other software packages (Excel, Word, etc.) or operating systems such as Mac

Instrument Control & Data Acquisition

Many different application programs control every JASCO spectroscopy instrument and accessories. Simple dialogs allow creation and editing of method files and acquisition processes. 2D and 3D data acquired from the instrument is automatically saved and transferred to Spectra Analysis for further analysis and reporting. Each instrument includes comprehensive hardware diagnostics and validation to alert the user to status of the instrument.

Data Processing & Spectral Analysis

Many types of data files (UV-Visible/NIR, FTIR, Fluorescence, etc.) can be viewed in a single window, and processed using a full range of dedicated data processing functions. Features include peak location, arithmetic operations, derivatives, peak integration and processing, smoothing, baseline correction, etc.

Powerful Applications Programs

With hundreds of standard and customer apps, Spectra Manager offers the highest productivity. You can find out more in the web pages associated with each instrument.

Data Recording & File Formats

All data is stored in 2 or 3 dimensional arrays in JASCO proprietary data format to protect the security and integrity. An audit trail of each process is recorded with measurement parameter and user information. Data can be output just after acquisition, on-batch or individually post analysis in a range of formats including X/Y data pairs in text or CSV format or using the jcamp (.dx) data interchange standard.

Macro Command

If you cannot find  an app that suits your measurement or analysis, a bespoke app can be developed using Macro Command; this includes almost any type of experimental design, measurement protocol, data acquisition, complex post-run data processing and reporting, etc.

Flexible Display Features

Powerful visualization tools can be used to overlay and print in user-selectable colors and patterns, with full control of style & font and auto-scale mode. The workspace can be customized with flexible display of windows and tool bars, etc.

Report Publishing

JASCO Canvas is a powerful reporting package that can be used to produce versatile customizable report layouts.

Spectra Manager™ CFR

Developed under the FDA standard for best practice ALCOA+, Spectra Manager™ CFR provides secure access and features compliant with 21 CFR Part 11; system access requires a user name and password which are assigned by the Workgroup Manager and individual Access Levels determine the access to Administrative Tools which includes instrument configuration, analysis applications, user setup, workgroup setup and security policies as well as system and application history logs. Three levels of electronic signatures are required including creation, review, and approval stages. An audit trail is recorded in each data file recording any data processing performed on the spectral data.

  • Management of security information for systems, users, data and records
  • Access control for secure systems by user ID and password
  • Audit trail function with time-stamp for tracking records
  • Three levels of electronic signatures for record integrity
