Analyze IQ Ltd Announces Partnership with Ocean Optics Inc for Sales of Analyze IQ Software for Chemometric Analysis

(Galway, Ireland.) Analyze IQ Limited, producers of innovative spectroscopic analysis software, and Ocean Optics Inc., the industry leader in miniature spectroscopy, have today announced a partnership under which Ocean Optics will market and sell the Analyze IQ software suite.

The Analyze IQ software will allow Ocean Optics’ customers to perform detailed analysis of molecular spectroscopy data. It is particularly designed for working with complex mixtures, including qualitative analyses such as materials verification, and quantitative analyses such as estimation of concentrations of components in mixtures. An extensive library of Raman spectra is also available.

“As inventors of the world’s first miniature spectrometer, Ocean Optics has a long history of delivering efficient and cost-effective solutions of the highest quality,” says Dr. Michael Madden, CEO of Analyze IQ Ltd. “We are pleased they are working with us to add value to their modular and turn-key Raman offerings.”

Dr. Jorge Macho, Director, Technical Sales and Service, Ocean Optics, Inc. comments: “We believe that the Analyze IQ software suite is the ideal complement to our Raman and other molecular spectroscopy software and will be of great value to your customers, as it combines high performance, sophisticated analysis techniques, and ease of use.”

The Analyze IQ product suite that Ocean Optics will resell includes:

· Analyze IQ Lab, a patent-protected software package for chemometric analysis of Raman and other molecular spectroscopy data, that allows examination of spectra, model-based analysis of spectra, generation of new analytical models

· Analyze IQ Spectra Manager, a spectral database and data management package that allows users to easily manage a library of spectra

· Analyze IQ Raman Library, a carefully-curated library of 1870 Raman spectra of lab materials and mixtures, including the exact composition of each material, along with all associated data.

The key benefits to users of the Analyze IQ software suite are:

· It provides new analysis techniques for more accurate analysis of complex mixtures, as well as standard chemometric methods.

· It incorporates unique features to enable chemometricians to use advanced analytical techniques in their work while minimising risk of errors, such as automatically applying appropriate pre-processing steps when analysing a spectrum with a model, and its step-by-step model-building wizard.

· It provides improved data exploration for analysts, as it provides visual insight into classification results.

· It can operate as a stand-alone spectral analysis package or can be embedded into existing commercial instrument software or analysis software packages.

· Its model-based approach has very low CPU and memory requirements relative to direct data matching, making it particularly suitable for use by non-specialists with portable Raman systems in the field, and process monitoring systems deployed in manufacturing environments.

· Analysis of a spectrum with an Analyze IQ model is a fully automatic process, without any manual interventions such as spectral subtraction or pre-processing, so that deployed models can be used easily by operators who do not have specialist training.

· Spectra Manager allows the storage of CAS numbers, IUPAC names, common names, information about physical properties of materials, and quality assurance & tracking information.

· For mixtures, Spectra manager can store all the relevant data about their composition, so that you can track mixtures that use the same materials by lot numbers, and easily select all samples containing a specific material, in pure form or in a mixture.
