How to get data out of lab instruments and data systems, and how to open, view and export it with or without the vendor software. Your format is not here? Request a format.
Agilent ChemStation (.D)
- Export Agilent ChemStation .D data to CSV
Export chromatograms from an Agilent ChemStation or OpenLab .D folder to CSV for Excel, Origin, Python or R, with or without ChemStation.
- Open an Agilent DAD1.UV file and view the spectra
Open an Agilent ChemStation DAD1.UV file without ChemStation: view the spectrum map and the UV spectrum at any time, and export the matrix to CSV.
- Get a chromatogram at any wavelength from DAD data
Extract a chromatogram at a wavelength you did not set in the method, from an Agilent DAD1.UV file, without ChemStation. In the browser or in Python.
- Compare and overlay several HPLC runs
Overlay chromatograms from several Agilent .D runs in your browser: open a whole folder, compare signals, scale to % of range, export one CSV.
- Open an Agilent ChemStation .MS file (GC-MS)
Open Agilent ChemStation data.ms files from GC-MS or LC-MS without ChemStation: TIC, mass spectrum at any time, extracted ion chromatograms, CSV export.
- Print ChemStation chromatograms, with or without ChemStation
Print a chromatogram from ChemStation offline data analysis, or print .D data without ChemStation: overlay runs, zoom, and print or save as PDF.
- ChemStation on Windows 11: open your data anyway
Older Agilent ChemStation versions are not supported on Windows 11. Your options, and how to open and export .D data there without installing ChemStation.
Agilent OpenLab CDS 2 (.dx)
- What is a .dx file? JCAMP-DX or Agilent OpenLab, and how to tell
A .dx file is either a JCAMP-DX spectrum or an Agilent OpenLab CDS 2 chromatography result. How to tell them apart, and how to open either.
- Open an OpenLab CDS 2 .dx file without OpenLab
Open Agilent OpenLab CDS 2 .dx result files in your browser: view the DAD and single-wavelength signals, overlay runs and export to CSV, without OpenLab.
- Get your data files out of OpenLab CDS 2
Get OpenLab CDS 2 data onto your own computer: copy the .dx files, export an archive, or export .dx, CSV, AIA .cdf or ChemStation .D. Then open them anywhere.
- Export OpenLab CDS 2 data to CSV
Export Agilent OpenLab CDS 2 chromatograms and DAD spectra from .dx files to CSV for Excel, Origin, Python or R, in your browser or from OpenLab.
Waters, Chromeleon and AIA .cdf
- How to open Waters MassLynx .raw data without MassLynx
Open Waters MassLynx .raw folders in your browser: MS (scan, SIR, MRM), PDA spectra, CAD, ELSD and pressure. Overlay runs and export CSV. No upload.
- Open an AIA/ANDI .cdf chromatogram or GC-MS file online
Open AIA/ANDI .cdf chromatography and GC-MS files from Empower, Chromeleon, LabSolutions, OpenLab and others in your browser. Export to CSV. No upload.
- How to export Empower data as AIA .cdf and open it without Empower
Export raw data from Waters Empower as an AIA .cdf file, then open it in your browser, view the chromatogram and export to CSV. No Empower needed.
- How to export Chromeleon data as .cdf and open it without Chromeleon
Export Chromeleon 7 data to .raw, convert it to ANDI .cdf with Thermo Xcalibur's FileConverter, then open it in your browser and export to CSV.
Spectra: JCAMP-DX and SPC
- Open a JCAMP-DX file (.jdx, .dx) online
Open JCAMP-DX spectra (IR, Raman, UV-Vis, NMR, mass spectra) in your browser, see what the compressed data forms mean, and export to CSV. No install, no upload.
- Open a Galactic SPC file (.spc) online
Open Galactic SPC (GRAMS) .spc files in your browser: IR, Raman, NIR and UV-Vis spectra, series and GC-MS. Export to CSV. No install, no upload.
