| The Thermo Electron's SPC file format provides for storage of a variety of different types of data taken from laboratory analytical instrumentation, primarily spectral and chromatographic (trace) data. The SPC format is capable of storing single or multiple arrays and is designed to be general enough to contain most types and styles of data storage such as even X spaced, non-even X spaced, variable record sizes, and 16 or 32 bit data representation. It is also capable of storing arbitrarily large descriptor blocks. All of Thermo's GRAMS products use the SPC format to store and retrieve spectral and chromatographic data from hundreds of instrument formats. Many instrument vendors offer software packages that export to the SPC format (see our Instrument and Data File Compatibility List for more information).
