The data measured in infrared mode can be imported to LabSolutions IR and analyzed.*¹ of the instrument themselves to ensure that highly reliable data is obtained.
The data measured with AIMsolution, a software program for infrared microscopes, can be analyzed with

• 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.
