Software Options

Fast, easy-to-use LabSolutions IR can be equipped with a variety of optional software programs and applications.
LabSolutions IR incorporates data processing functions such as advanced ATR correction, degree of coincidence, differential
spectra, and Kubelka–Munk conversion, quantitation functions such as the multi-point calibration curve method and the
multi-regression method, as well as the spectral searching function as standard features. However, adding the following
optional software products makes it possible to further increase the application range.

Rapid Scan (P/N 206-30200-91)

The Rapid Scan option provides the capability of collecting and recording a maximum
of 20 spectra/second. This is especially suitable for fast reactions kinetics, where
reactions are completed in a few seconds.
Spectra obtained from Rapid Scan measurements can be used to calculate peak heights
and areas, which are used to determine kinetic rates.
The Rapid Scan interval is dependent on the resolution, number of scans, and mirror
−1
speed. The fastest speed under a 16cm resolution and a mirror speed of 40mm/s is
0.05 seconds for 1 accumulated scan. Maximum measurement time depends on scan
parameters.
The 3D Processing Program (P/N 206-74563-91) is required for analysis of Rapid Scan
spectra.

LabSolutions IR
Time Course Software (P/N 206-74558-91)

The time course program is used to collect spectra in regular intervals and creates a
time course dataset used to follow reactions as a function of time. Changes in peak
height and peak area can be used to calculate values related to reaction kinetics. Time
course information is saved and displayed in 3D (bird’s eye view) or in a contour plot.
Simply modify parameters to recalculate the information.
The scan interval is dependent on resolution, number of scans, and mirror speed. The
fastest speed under a 16cm resolution and a mirror speed of 9mm/s is 7 seconds for
−1
1 accumulated scan. Maximum measurement time is 48 hours but it depends on scan
parameters. The time course software includes a 3D Processing Program.

LabSolutions IR
Mapping Program (P/N 206-74559-91)

The Mapping software allows mapping of absorption information on a sample surface
as a function of position when using the Shimadzu AIM-8800 Infrared Microscope.
The program allows setting of mapping parameters, such as the mapping range, the
scan intervals, and the background positions, on the composite images. In addition, it
supports area mapping, line mapping and random mapping modes.
In addition to mapping in the conventional transmittance and re ectance modes,
micro-ATR mapping with an optional ATR objective is also available. From the acquired
mapping data, it is possible to extract spectra and to perform calculations for
functional-group mappings for speci c peaks. The data can be displayed as 3D images
or contour plots, or in spectral overlay mode.
This program includes a 3D Processing Program.

LabSolutions IR
Macro Platform (P/N 206-74562-91)

The Macro Platform is required to run the customized macro programs created by Shimadzu (for a fee). If, for
example, you wish to perform more advanced applications in which certain functions are used in a pre-determined
order, or you wish to run an automatic measurement system in combination with an auto sample changer, please
contact your Shimadzu representative for details.
