Nu Instruments | Using NICE Scripts in Nu Quant for Advanced ICP-MS Calculations
This application note explains how the Nu Instruments Calculations Editor, known as NICE, supports customised calculations in Nu Quant. It highlights batch scripting, Python syntax, variable libraries and audit-tracked processing.

Nu Quant NICE provides a flexible way to create customised calculation routines for quantitative measurements and isotope ratio analysis. It supports internal and external mass bias correction, isotope dilution and other analyst-defined calculations.
NICE has been enhanced for use with Nu Quant using standard Python syntax and simplified batch handling. Scripts can be copied across samples, variables can be changed across a batch, and values can be recalled between samples where required.
The editor includes intelligent code checking and variable libraries to help users build robust scripts. Nu Quant also preserves change history, showing what was changed, when and by whom.

Key Takeaways:
- NICE enables customised ICP-MS calculations directly within Nu Quant.
- Python syntax and variable libraries make scripts easier to build and manage.
- Batch tools and change history support efficient, traceable data processing.
