GRAMS Suite 9.2: The Integrated Platform for Spectral Intelligence
GRAMS Suite 9.2 is a powerful, all-in-one software package for the processing, analysis, visualization, and management of data from a wide variety of analytical instruments, most notably spectrometers (IR, Raman, UV-Vis, NMR) and chromatographs. It serves as a central hub for scientists and analysts in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, forensics, and academia to transform raw spectral data into meaningful chemical information and actionable results.
Core Function: From Raw Spectrum to Chemical Insight
The software’s primary role is to provide a comprehensive set of tools to import, clean, manipulate, and interpret complex spectral and chromatographic data. It supports the entire workflow from baseline correction and peak picking to advanced multivariate analysis and database searching.
Key Functional Modules & Capabilities:
1. Core Data Processing & Visualization
-
Data Import & Format Support: Imports a vast array of native instrument data formats from major manufacturers (Thermo Fisher, Agilent, PerkinElmer, etc.) and standard formats (JCAMP, SPC).
-
Spectral Manipulation: Provides essential processing functions: baseline correction, smoothing, normalization, derivatization, spectral subtraction, and peak fitting.
-
Multi-Display & Overlay: Allows for easy comparison of multiple spectra or chromatograms in a single window.
2. Advanced Analysis & Chemometrics
-
Peak Analysis & Quantification: Identifies and quantifies peaks, integrates areas, and performs quantitative calibration using standards.
-
Multivariate Analysis (MVA): Includes powerful chemometric tools such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares (PLS), and Cluster Analysis for pattern recognition, classification, and predictive modeling.
-
Spectral Library Management & Searching: Create, manage, and search custom spectral libraries to identify unknown compounds.
3. Suite Applications
-
GRAMS/AI: The core application for general spectral and chromatographic data analysis.
-
PLSTM IQ: Dedicated module for building and deploying quantitative multivariate calibration models (used extensively in NIR spectroscopy for PAT).
-
Spectral DB: For advanced library creation and searching.
