a simple mouse click for easier operation and reduced errors.

Food Additive Identification Test Program

An identification macro program for food additives has been newly

added. Simplify identification tests by using transmission/ATR spectra

included in the 8th edition of the Japanese Standards of Food

Additives, a standard library.

Advanced Contaminant Analysis ProgramThe data has been increased by 553 components in comparison to the

previous contaminant analysis program. Furthermore, Shimadzu

proprietary algorithms have been adopted to significantly increase the

accuracy of contaminant analysis.

Example of Pass/Fail Judgment for Degree of Polymerization for Polypropylene/Polyethylene with Different Degrees of Polymerization (for Quality Control)

More Functions Available

Tracking Changes Over Time at Specified Wavenumbers (Photometric)Intensity (absorbance, transmittance, etc.), peak height, area, etc. can be scanned at specified wavenumbers.

The scanned values can be used for various calculations. Pass/fail judgments can be made from these values.

Tracking Changes Over Time for the Spectrum as a Whole (Time Course)You can measure the spectrum at set intervals, and track changes in specified peaks. Spectra and changes as a function of time can be

extracted from the time course data obtained. Reaction rates can also be calculated utilizing reaction peaks in the postrun analysis window.

Advanced Infrared Microscope Software (AIMView 2.00)*This software can coordinate with the LabSolutions IR spectrum measurement program to automatically measure specified positions (up

to 10 locations). The aperture size and shape can be set automatically, and images of the measurement position can be appended to

the measured spectra.
