As we approach year-end 2024, we decided to run a survey with our colleagues and share with you the resulting selection of new JASON features. We simply asked people to name their favourite new feature from this year. It was an interesting exercise to select only one from so many options. In 2024, we started our release cycles with JASON 3.2 on Thursday, Feb 22th. Followed by JASON 4.0 on Friday, Jun 14th and finally JASON 4.1 on Friday, Oct 18th.
Take a look this small list of new features from 2024, highlighting the significance of the recently introduced BeautifulJASON package
And I wish you all
a Happy New Year
from the Cambridge (home) office!
“BeautifulJASON! Automating the analysis of large quantities of data is easy and allows me to get my NMR data just as simple numpy arrays for further analysis. JASON can work just like any other Python module”
Iain, Senior Project Manager
“BeautifulJASON is very convenient for huge amount of NMR data batch processing, and works under Python scripts.”
NMR Application scientist
“BeautifulJASON and its ability to load data with specific rules and easily extract integrals and peak areas. This allows full automation of routine tasks, particularly in quality control.”
Adolfo, applications scientist
See below (Figure 1) an example application leveraging the power of BeautifulJASON, and for more details check out Adolfo’s recent blog post
“BeautifulJASON. It opens the way to automate routine workflows in NMR labs and use all Python functionality for that
Vadim, software group manager
“Relaxation processing. Now I can process my T1 experiment data and choose either relaxation rate or relaxation time using the same workflow as for DOSY experiments. The open canvas allows me to view my results table, original data and a chart with fitting easily and clearly.”
Rachel, QC specialist

“I appreciate that relaxation time processing has been improved/made easier.”
Michal, NMR Technical Sales Support Manager
“Addition of zoom and pan mouse modes support for JASON charts. These features enable seamless exploration of complex datasets, allowing users to zoom into specific areas for detailed analysis and pan across sections for broader insights. By enhancing interactivity and accessibility, they transform the way users engage with their data, making charts in JASON a powerful tool for intuitive and efficient data visualisation.”
Ronil, developer
“BeautifulJASON. You can now operate JASON from Python code and automate routine tasks. It is easy to use, with extensive official documentation.”
Seki, developer
“The integration of mass spectrometry data into JASON alongside NMR data is huge! Now, mass spec data from JEOL SpiralTOF spectrometers can be viewed and analyzed in tandem with NMR data. This marks an important first step towards integrating MS and NMR data within a single platform. The ability to compare and analyse these two orthogonal and complimentary techniques within the same platform has the potential to greatly enhance compound analysis and structural determination workflows in JASON.”
Nader, developer
“I absolutely love that we now offer hosted floating licenses for our software as it takes JASON to the next level.”
Tatiana, Customer Support Specialist
“Pulse program source code viewer on the parameter tab! No more confusion about my data when I modify experiments while working on a new GEMSTONE method. It also works when I open old Varian or Bruker data. The button on the top left side of the panel allows to copy the pulse program source text, so I can simply copy&paste it into a text file or another program.” See Figure 3
