Welcome to the summer edition of JASON in which we bring you a variety of treats to enjoy over the coming months in JASON 5.2.

As is usual for a JASON release, we bring you a collection of new features, improvements for your workflows and with this release, even support for additional data formats. Let’s dive in and see what have for you in JASON 5.2!

We have made visualization improvements for assigning your molecules with particular focus on HMBC and COSY data. If you have been using our peak picking guidelines to help you in peak picking your 2D spectra, you will find that we now have color coded peak picking gridlines in version 5.2 for different functional groups.

In addition, we have improved the gridline functionality for peak picking; should you want to pick a peak which is not sitting on a gridline, simple press and hold the  CTRL key while in peak picking mode for free selection or to snap to the nearest gridline, hold down the SHIFT key while in peak picking mode.

Improvements do not stop there in version 5.2! 2D correlations are now shown on the molecule for COSY and HMBC data to further aid you in your assignments.

 

Recognizing different types of data is now easier with the introduction of watermarks for EDS and MS spectra and we have introduced support for the .emsa data format for EDS data so you can take an even bigger advantage of our unique canvas workspace by having spectra from multiple techniques open all in the same place. Is there a technique or data format you’d like to see in a future version of JASON to make your workflow more seamless? Let us know via our Request a Feature form here!

 

For regulated environments, we are working towards better support of our log-files as audit trails. The paths of the relevant log files are now recorded in our .jjh5 files and Hash chain are introduced for log-file records to ensure the log file integrity.

We have enhanced our file format support to now include the  NUTS (Legacy NMR processing format produced by NUTS software, currently used by Anasazi benchtop and previously by Oxford Instruments). We have added missing group delay import for Nanalysis files and now recognize the Oxford Instruments folder structure and load the `*_avg.jdx` data file. 

These are just a handful of features introduced or enhanced in this latest JASON release, we hope this post has given you inspiration to try out JASON 5.2. For our full list of inclusions in JASON 5.2, check out the new features page and then download to try it for yourself.
