Bring all your analytical data together—and put it to work
We’ve built the spectral collections scientists rely on every day, so we know what it takes to build and manage a high-value scientific database.
KnowItAll gives you one place to build, search, secure, and use your analytical data—unifying results across instruments, vendors, and techniques.

Build: create one searchable database from all your data
KnowItAll lets you consolidate spectral and chromatographic data from multiple instruments, techniques, and locations into one searchable resource, so nothing stays siloed in a single machine or a single lab. This multi-technique approach enables critical orthogonal validation—confirming compound identification across multiple independent methods.
Key features:
- One-click import for common instrument file formats, or import via CSV files
- Multi-technique building, so you can validate results across methods, not just within one
- Custom database structure and property forms, so everyone enters data the same way
- Rich metadata: add peak data, structures, and custom fields to each record
- Batch import and export for spectra, structures, and property files
- Flexible spectral storage at each spectrum's original range and resolution, no forced formatting
- Document integration: attach spreadsheets, MSDS, and other files, or link to any record
- Spectral enhancement tools: add peak labels, and assign NMR multiplets
- Property calculators: molecular weight, C-13 NMR prediction, elemental composition, isotope distribution, and more
- PubChem integration to pull structures and properties straight in
- DEA categorization for controlled substances (batch processing available)
- Application integration: connect straight to KnowItAll's other tools for structure drawing, processing, searching, and reporting
Search: explore and mine your data with powerful tools
Once your database is built, put it to work. KnowItAll gives you more than one way to search, with fast search speeds, sophisticated algorithms, and patented technologies to deliver reliable results. Search against reference databases, your own user-built databases, or both, and conduct orthogonal validation across multiple analytical methods to confirm what you’re looking at with confidence.
Key features:
- Flexible search scope: search against your own databases, our reference databases, or both
- “Simultaneous” multi-technique search, so you can confirm a result across IR, NMR, MS, Raman, or UV-Vis instead of relying on one method
- Mixture analysis to identify multiple components in a single spectrum
- Spectral deformulation to reverse-engineer a commercial product into its pure components
- Patented Optimized Corrections technology, which automatically compensates for baseline shifts, clipping, and other instrument differences to get the most reliable match
- Patented adaptive search for MS: when an unknown mass spectrum doesn't match a reference exactly, this finds close matches that differ by an added or missing fragment, and suggests what's causing the difference
Data mining and analysis tools
Beyond search, KnowItAll helps you find patterns you’d otherwise miss:
- Scatter plots compare any two variables in your database, so you can find outliers and trends at a glance
- Patented overlap density heatmaps color-code thousands of spectra by how closely they overlap, revealing patterns that traditional overlay plots hide
- Trendfinder applies principal component analysis (PCA) to your spectra or chromatograms, surfacing hidden patterns.
Share: put your data to work across the organization
Data sharing turns isolated lab work into organizational intelligence. Connect KnowItAll to the cloud storage you already use, so the right people reach the right data at the right time. KnowItAll also comes with reporting tools built to turn your results into insights you can share with colleagues, stakeholders, and collaborators across your organization.
Seamlessly connect to your current workflow
Secure: keep your data protected and accessible
Managing who sees your data matters as much as managing the data itself. KnowItAll Data Control adds an extra layer of security by integrating KnowItAll’s spectral data management tools with your organization’s file sharing server. Your data stays accessible to the people who need it while you keep control of who can access and make changes to it.
Optimize: get more value from the data you already have
Manage your analytical data well, and the payoff reaches far beyond one lab: better efficiency, stronger collaboration, and faster innovation across the organization.
Here's the business impact you can expect:
- Work smarter: Bring all your analytical data into one resource built on decades of database expertise, and confirm results across techniques instead of relying on a single method.
- Move faster: Stop repeating tests you've already run. Give your team instant access to current and historical data, so decisions happen sooner.
- Grow together: Share knowledge across teams and locations. Keep valuable expertise in-house, even when people move on. Scale your database as you add instruments or switch vendors.
