Serial Analyzer - A software for SEC-SAXS data analysis


Serial Analyzer is a tool for analysis of SEC-SAXS data with intelligent strategy. It can automatically analyze multiple serial data measured in SEC-SAXS experiment based on the basic theory of SAXS and the statistical algorithm.

Serial Analyzer was upgraded to new software, MOLASS. Go to New software, MOLASS


Main function

  • Firstly superimposing UV-Vis. absorbance to SAXS intensity and modifying baseline variation.
  • Automatic Guinier analysis to all data.
  • Calculation and output of the zero-concentration scattering profiles for ab initio modeling.
  • In the environment where ATSAS is installed, not only the original algorithm but also the programs of ATSAS are performed automatically, and both results will be outputted.
  • Data format (now available) : The file output by SAngler is supported.
  • UV-Vis. absorbance data is not absolutely necessary.


Operation condition

Windows 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 (64 bit only).
