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.

Pre-analysis data visualization

Qualify your data before you analyze it

  • Review of laser ablation sampling pattern and measurement conditions. Confirm the data collection mode and number of points.
