SpectralBench
Open spectral data from any instrument — directly in your browser
Vendor-neutral formats used across instruments and techniques. These open standards ensure long-term data accessibility and interoperability between different spectroscopy platforms.
IUPAC open standard for spectroscopic data exchange. ASCII text with full ASDF compression support.
Universal tabular formats with auto-detected delimiters. Works with exports from virtually any instrument or software.
ISO 22029 standard for X-ray microanalysis data. Used by EDS, XRF, and WDS instruments from all major manufacturers.
NIST mass spectral library format for mass spectrometry. Peak lists with metadata headers.
RRUFF mineral database format for Raman spectroscopy. Key-value header with CSV data section.
Proprietary binary formats from the major FTIR spectrometer manufacturers. SpectralBench parses these natively in the browser — no vendor software or plugins required.
Binary format used by Thermo Fisher (Nicolet), Shimadzu, and many other instruments. Old and new format variants supported.
