01 · The problem

The data rarely breaks. The record around it does.

A trace leaves the instrument clean. Then it passes through a spreadsheet for the baseline, a plotting tool for the figure and a document for the report. Each hand-off drops something.

AxisBench keeps those steps inside one project, so every number can be traced back to its source file and the choices made on the way.

Fig. 1Above, the usual hand-off chain. Below, one connected project.

02 · Workflow

Six stages. One connected record.

Each stage keeps what it did beside your result. Pick a stage to see what it stores.

  1. 01

    See what was detected before anything is computed.

    Drop CSV, TXT, TSV, Excel, JCAMP-DX or XY exports. Columns are mapped to the technique's axes and quality warnings surface at import, not after the figure is made.

  2. 02

    Every transform is a named, parameterised choice.

    Savitzky-Golay smoothing, derivatives, normalisation and linear, rubberband, spline or ALS baselines. Parameters are saved with the output and reusable as presets across a batch.

  3. 03

    Technique-specific results, not generic curve fitting.

    Onset and endset tangents, peak temperature, FWHM and integrated area. TGA mass-loss steps with DTG, peak deconvolution, and Kissinger, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Friedman kinetics.

  4. 04

    Overlay runs from the same project on shared axes.

    Batches, heating rates or suppliers side by side. Each curve keeps its link to the file and processing that produced it, so a difference in the plot can be traced.

  5. 05

    Library matches and literature, next to the data.

    Candidates are ranked against the full hosted library, from Open Specy and RRUFF spectra to COD and JARVIS-DFT powder patterns. Relevant papers are retrieved from OpenAlex and attached to the peaks they support. Interpretation stays yours.

  6. 06

    Report-ready outputs and a project you can reopen.

    Data as CSV or XLSX, figures as PNG, reports as DOCX or PDF. The whole workspace downloads as a zip you own and can open again later.

03 · Techniques

Modality-aware, not one size fits all.

Thermal, spectral and diffraction data ask different questions. Each technique gets its own axes, workflow and result tables.

    04 · Reports

    No sentence without a source.

    Report text is assembled from your computed results and papers we actually retrieved. Hover a claim to see what stands behind it.

    Results and discussion sample_PET_03

    The FTIR spectrum shows a strong carbonyl band at 1713 cm-1[1] with aromatic ring modes near 1505 and 1408 cm-1. The spectrum matches poly(ethylene terephthalate) in the reference library. DSC shows a melting endotherm with a peak at 252.4 °C, consistent with semicrystalline PET[2].

    05 · Provenance

    What a project remembers.

    Reproducibility is not a badge. It is the specific set of things stored beside every result.

    • Presets and batch runs

      Save a configuration per technique and apply it across many files. The parameters are in the output.

    • Validation and provenance

      Issues, warnings, review flags and calibration state travel with each number.

    • Private by default

      Projects belong to your account. Share them with your lab only when you choose, and export the workspace as a zip anytime.

      06 · Open libraries

      Six open libraries, searched in full.

      Every reference below is hosted on our servers and searched on every match, not a demo subset and not a shortlist. The libraries are identical on Free, Pro, Lab and Enterprise. We never sell or gate the data; plans pay for the software around it.

      How a match is made.

      1. Your processed data goes in.

        Peaks and baseline come from the processing you chose. For XRD, the wavelength is read from the file or starts at Cu Kα1, and the project records which one it was.

      2. The whole library is ranked.

        XRD candidates are ranked across every pattern with an exact score bound, so no prefilter can drop the true phase. Spectra are compared curve against curve, and peak overlap is checked for the shortlist.

      3. A phase has to explain your pattern.

        Matching a reference's own few peaks is not enough. The XRD score also weighs how much of your observed intensity the phase accounts for, and the evidence table shows both sides.

      4. The record comes with it.

        Each candidate links to its source entry, with the license and citation carried into your export. Candidates are evidence for your interpretation, not a verdict.

      08 · FAQ

      Questions, answered.

      Is Pro really free? What's the catch?

      There is no catch. Until November every account gets Pro, and we never ask for a card. You cannot be charged by accident because there is nothing to charge.

      What happens in November?

      Your account moves to Free by itself; there is nothing to cancel. Free keeps all six techniques, the reference libraries and exports, with 10 analyses a month (up to 3 a day). Nothing is deleted: one project stays editable and the others stay read-only, so you can still open and export them. If you want to keep Pro, you can switch to it any time.

      Where is my data kept?

      Projects are saved privately to your account so you can pick up where you left off. No one else can open them unless you move them into your lab's shared workspace. You can export any workspace as a zip at any time.

      Where do the reference libraries come from?

      From six open projects: Open Specy, ROD and RRUFF for FTIR and Raman spectra, and COD, Materials Project, JARVIS-DFT and RRUFF for XRD powder patterns. Literature comes from OpenAlex. The full libraries run on our servers, so there is nothing to download or install. They are free and identical on every plan, each record keeps its attribution, and we never charge for the data itself.

      Does AI write my reports?

      On paid plans, LLM-assisted reporting drafts text from your computed results and from papers we retrieved. It never states anything without a peak, a value or a reference behind it, and every source is visible in the export. The Free plan builds reports without AI.
