The NIST Polymer Pyrolysis Search software and library is an R Shiny search app and associated library. This app is for the identification of polymers by pyrolysis breakdown products. The search app works with Agilent files (*.d) or netcdf (*.cdf) files. The ZIP file contains a “local” version of R with all necessary associated packages. The search app uses an included “local” version of NIST AMDIS software for retention index calibration and calculation as well as spectral extraction. This is meant to be a completely self-contained app with no need for an internet connection or installation of software not included in the ZIP file.

Download the Search Software and Library here:

After downloading unzip the ZIP file where you want the software to be located. To run the app simply run “run-NPPS.bat” file.

Requirements: Windows operating system capable of running NIST AMDIS and R
