Welcome to the repository for lasertram, a package for the time resolved analysis for processing laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) data. It is used for back-end calculations in the dashboard LaserTRAM-DB.
please see the Documentation for more!
pip install lasertram
If you have features you'd like to see please open an issue or consider contributing yourself! I'm always happy to have help.
