Software solutions for your data requirements
RADIAN ASAP is compatible with software solutions that enable rapid interpretation and categorization, as well as automated data processing and reporting.
LiveID classifies samples for users who are investigating the authenticity, adulteration, and quality of food or raw materials using statistical models. To begin, a statistical model is developed and validated using real or certified samples. The validated model can then be utilized with test data to generate live classifications with a simple yes/no answer.
LiveID can also perform real-time library matching workflows, in which the software compares all compounds in the library to each sample analyzed, returning a score out of 1000, where values close to 1000 indicate the compound of interest is likely in the sample and lower scores indicate unlikely presence.
