Dr. Todd Duncombe & Aaron Ponti developed an open-source software application for high-throughput UV-VS analytics

SpectraSorter

by Todd Duncombe

We present SpectraSorter, a C#-based software application for high-speed Ocean Insight spectrometers with an intuitive GUI. It performs rapid full-spectrum UV-VIS detection followed by real-time data processing, customizable visualization, precise triggering on any spectral features, and external communication via an Arduino microcontroller all in approximately one millisecond. We designed it for high-throughput analytical chemistry applications that require real-time analysis of optical spectra to inform subsequent sample sorting. Hence its name, the “SpectraSorter.” The software was external pageused for the label-free enzymatic screening of bacterial microcolonies contained in microfluidic droplets, but is broadly applicable to other spectrometer screening applications.
