Data Format Support & Integrations

The Spectrus Platform natively supports data from a large variety of analytical techniques, and enables export to third-party applications, and integration with your existing systems.

Import Formats

The Spectrus Platform natively supports data from various analytical techniques and instrument vendor file formats, industry standards, and open-source formats. We work closely with partners to ensure that new formats are supported as technology evolves.

View Import Formats

Export Formats

We enable you to export data from the Spectrus environment to make it accessible in third party applications, and available for machine and data science (AI/ML) use.

View Export Formats

Integrations

Because no single piece of software can do it all, our applications integrate with your existing instruments, equipment, and software. Conveniently Integrate analytical and chemical information and results into other systems.
