• The inspection parameter of US Pharmacopeia is only wavenumber accuracy.

Library Creation Function Library

Functionality for creating libraries is included standard with the AMsolution analysis program. Analysts can create
their own library by registering infrared and Raman spectra they acquire. Created libraries can also be used for
searches. Registering the materials used in products and the substances used in manufacturing processes and using
them as a library can improve the accuracy of searches.
