Customer Reviews
“All our routine analyses are being processed and reported using Spectrus Processor...it’s fairly intuitive and the users have been happy with it. In the short time I played with the IR tools I was able to get more out of the data than with the original instrument vendor software.”

Matthew Jones
Head TBDOS Discovery Analytical Research, Takeda

“Spectrus Processor is a really powerful tool for processing NMR, MS, IR, and chromatographic data. It is very user-friendly and intuitive. One of its major strengths is that it is independent of the instrument manufacturer.”

Dr. Rainer Ebel
University of Aberdeen

“We provide our medicinal chemists with a dozen LC/MS, LC/UV, and NMR instruments from various vendors including Agilent, Bruker, Gilson, Thermo, and Waters. Using one tool to process and analyze all this data, instead of a suite of five or more, will certainly streamline the efforts of my group.”

Dr. Amin Mirza
Institute of Cancer Research

“We have been using Spectrus Processor to analyze our chemical and analytical data. The ability to review data from multiple analytical techniques in a single environment has been most beneficial for us. The interface is very user-friendly and the transition from our previous combinations of software was exceptionally smooth.”

Dr. Karen Yuen
OTI Lumionics Inc.
