AI Spectrum Interpreter

Drop a spectral file and get instant AI-powered interpretation — compound classes, functional groups, and diagnostic peaks

Your spectral data is never saved on our servers. Runs in your browser.

How It Works

Step 01

Upload Your Spectrum

Drop any spectral file into the tool. Your file is parsed entirely in the browser — the raw data never leaves your machine.

Step 02

Automatic Peak Analysis

SpectralBench detects peaks, assigns functional groups, and runs co-occurrence pattern matching to identify compound classes — all automatically.

Step 03

AI Interpretation

An AI model analyzes the peaks, assignments, and patterns to produce a structured interpretation with compound identification, key evidence, and next steps.

Supported Spectroscopy Techniques

FTIR / Infrared

Functional group identification from mid-IR absorption bands. Identifies organics, polymers, minerals, and biological samples via characteristic vibrational modes.

Raman

Material identification from inelastic scattering. Excels at identifying polymers, minerals, carbon allotropes, and pharmaceutical compounds.

UV-Vis

Electronic transition analysis for chromophores, conjugated systems, metal complexes, and biological molecules. Quantitative analysis via Beer-Lambert law.

NIR (Near-Infrared)

Overtone and combination band analysis for moisture, protein, fat, and fiber content in food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural samples.

Fluorescence

Emission spectrum analysis for fluorescent compounds, quantum dots, biological markers, and environmental contaminants.

What the AI Identifies

The AI interpreter analyzes your spectrum across multiple dimensions to produce actionable results:

  • Compound classesOrganic families (esters, amides, alcohols), polymers (PET, PE, PP, PS), minerals, and biological materials.
  • Functional groupsHydroxyl, carbonyl, amine, nitrile, aromatic, alkyl, and other diagnostic groups with confidence levels.
  • MaterialsSpecific polymer identification, mineral species, pharmaceutical excipients, and industrial chemicals.
  • Sample qualityFlags issues like water vapor interference, CO₂ contamination, poor signal-to-noise, or saturated bands.
  • Next stepsRecommends complementary techniques, reference standards, or sample preparation to confirm identification.

Privacy note: Your spectral file is parsed locally in your browser. Only extracted peak data (positions, intensities, and assignments) is sent to the AI model — the raw file is never uploaded. No data is stored after the request completes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI spectrum interpretation work?

SpectralBench parses your spectral file locally in the browser, detects peaks automatically, and identifies functional groups using a rule-based engine. The detected peaks, assignments, and co-occurrence patterns are then sent to an AI model that synthesizes a comprehensive interpretation — identifying likely compound classes, key diagnostic evidence, and suggested next steps.

What spectroscopy techniques does the AI interpreter support?

The AI interpreter supports FTIR (infrared), Raman, UV-Vis, NIR (near-infrared), and fluorescence spectroscopy. Modality is detected automatically from your file's metadata and x-axis units. The AI's analysis is tailored to each technique — citing wavenumbers for IR/Raman and wavelengths for UV-Vis.

Is my spectral data kept private?

Your raw spectral file is parsed entirely in your browser — the file itself is never uploaded to a server. Only the extracted peak positions, intensities, and functional group assignments are sent to the AI model for interpretation. No spectral data is stored after the request completes.

What file formats are supported?

SpectralBench reads 40+ spectral file formats including JCAMP-DX (.jdx, .dx), Thermo SPC, Bruker OPUS, Thermo SPA/SPG, Renishaw WDF, PerkinElmer SP, JASCO JWS, Horiba NGS/L6S, CSV/TXT, and many more. The format is detected automatically from the file extension and content.

How accurate is the AI interpretation?

The AI provides advisory interpretation based on detected peaks and established spectroscopic databases. It distinguishes between confirmed and tentative assignments and rates overall confidence. However, AI interpretation should always be verified against reference standards and complementary analytical techniques. It is not a substitute for expert spectroscopic analysis.

Is the AI spectrum interpreter free?

Yes, the AI spectrum interpreter is completely free. No account or registration is required. Anonymous users can make 5 interpretation requests per minute, and authenticated users get 20 requests per minute.
