Wiley Launches Browser-Based Analytical Lab Platform
Wiley Analytical Lab combines spectral reference data, compound identification and data management in one online environment.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Chemistry
Wiley has launched Wiley Analytical Lab, a software-as-a-service platform for spectral data and compound identification. The browser-based platform integrates SpectraBase, KnowItAll AnyWare and Wiley Data Hub.
Why it matters
The platform addresses challenges researchers face when working across separate systems, locally installed software and disconnected data repositories. It extends capabilities available through Wiley's KnowItAll desktop software.
SpectraBase enables searching of millions of reference spectra, and KnowItAll AnyWare lets researchers upload experimental spectra to identify unknown compounds. Wiley Data Hub supports management, validation, publication and sharing of analytical datasets.
The players
Wiley
Wiley is a global research and publishing company that also develops scientific software tools such as KnowItAll.
The details
Wiley Analytical Lab will initially be offered through KnowItAll Campus-Wide Solutions for universities and KnowItAll Complete Multi-User Licensing for corporate and government organizations. The platform complements Wiley's recently introduced spectroscopy API portfolio.
Timeline
Launch announced in a news report dated November 3, 2026.
The Tech Race
The launch moves Wiley's KnowItAll spectral tools from locally installed desktop software toward a browser-based model that is accessible across instruments and teams. It also complements Wiley's recently introduced spectroscopy API portfolio, positioning the company's analytical offerings alongside other digital research platforms.
Researchers at universities and corporate or government organizations may be able to consolidate spectral lookup, compound identification and dataset management into one online environment. The browser-based design allows access across different instruments, data formats and locations without local software installation.
The takeaway
Browser-based platforms that combine reference libraries with data management could reduce friction for research teams working across multiple instruments. Teams evaluating such tools may consider how well a platform fits their existing licensing and data-sharing workflows.
