How is this different from Origin or GraphPad Prism?
Lattent is built around the measurements materials and chemistry labs actually make (XRD, spectra, band gaps, isotherms, Arrhenius data, tensile tests), with curve fitting, statistics and publication graphs underneath, plus a shape model, Bayesian optimisation and Facet, an AI lab partner. It runs in any browser with nothing to install and costs a fraction of a desktop licence. It does not yet do everything those programs do, such as 3D plots or two-way ANOVA; those are on the roadmap.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
Not unless you choose to. Calculations run in your browser and projects are kept in your browser. If you save a project to the cloud, it is stored in a database where row-level security lets only you, and your lab if you share it, read it. The optional AI chat sends data directly from your browser to the provider you chose, with your own key. Details on the security page.
Is payment secure?
Yes. Checkout is run by Lemon Squeezy, a PCI-compliant merchant of record that also handles tax. Lattent never sees your card. Your plan is activated by a signed message from Lemon Squeezy to our server, never by your browser.
How do I know the numbers are right?
Every analysis is checked against SciPy and NumPy, the reference scientific Python libraries, on test datasets before each release: parameters, standard errors, p-values, Tukey intervals and Gaussian-process predictions. The fitter is also benchmarked on NIST’s certified nonlinear-regression problems, where it gets 51 of 52 fits right to at least four significant digits. See the validation page.
I have never used curve-fitting software. Where do I start?
Open a worked example close to your field, look at what Lattent reports, then replace the numbers with yours. Or create a table, paste your data and press Suggest an analysis.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. The built-in suggestions need no key. The chat is optional and uses your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, billed by them at their API rates, usually cents per conversation.
Can my lab pay with a purchase order or grant?
Yes. Lemon Squeezy issues a proper invoice with your institution's details; for purchase orders, use the Contact link at the foot of this page.
Does Lattent really generate new materials?
It proposes new chemical compositions that its models predict to be stable and close to a target band gap, and tells you which are absent from a database of 5.8 million computed structures. That is a shortlist for a DFT calculation or a synthesis, not a discovery in itself: the generator works at the level of composition, not crystal structure, and composition-only predictions have errors of about 0.09 eV/atom for formation energy and 0.3 eV for the band gap. The methods and test results are on the validation page.
Is it suitable for regulated or clinical work?
No. Lattent is research software and is not validated for GLP, 21 CFR Part 11 or diagnostic use.
