Overview
Taking the next step with your data
Applied Spectra’s new data analysis software, ClarityNeXt™, will advance your LIBS and LA-ICP-MS data processing and visualization to the next level. Through innovation in laser ablation-based sampling data analysis and reduction, you will benefit from efficient workflows, unparalleled emission line identification tools, a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools, automated processing, data visualization, chemical imaging, and the ability to fuse data from complementary analytical methods.
Rapid, accurate, and dynamic results are easy to achieve by utilizing these tools, with clear and concise report generation. ClarityNeXt™ is a quantum leap forward in LIBS and LA-ICP-MS data processing.
Why ClarityNeXt™
One workflow, from raw signal to report
Efficient pre-processing, powerful identification, advanced imaging, chemometrics, data fusion, and automation — all in a single environment.
Pre-analysis data visualization
Review sampling patterns, qualify data, and preview 2D/3D elemental maps before you commit to full analysis.
Powerful processing tools
TruLIBS™ and other spectral libraries, expanded peak fitting, background subtraction, smoothing, and normalization.
Advanced 2D/3D chemical imaging
Image overlays, Insync™ View, PCA maps, and stacked, ray-casting, and iso-surfacing map presentations.
Built-in chemometric models
PCA, PLS-R, and PLS-DA for accurate quantification and classification, built directly into the workflow.
Data Fusion for Tandem LA-LIBS
Fuse complementary LIBS and LA-ICP-MS data for true Tandem LA-LIBS analysis of a single sample.
Analysis automation
Automation Wizard and Player modules automate analysis steps for high-volume and routine measurements.
