ORG-33101 | Life Science Mode | Life Science Mode is introduced in Origin 2026b to focus on life science workflows. | During Origin installation, select Life Science GUI radio box on the "Select Graphical User Interface (GUI) Mode" page to install Origin as Life Science Mode. This mode simplifies Origin interface by hiding most of the Graph toolbar buttons and advanced analysis menus, and reorganizes Plot menu to make statistical and biological graphs and analysis more accessible. A dedicated "Data Table" worksheet further simplifies stats plotting and analysis routines. Frequently-used life science file formats such as .XML can be directly imported via drag-and-drop. This mode also pre-installs a collection of popular Apps. Notice that you can still switch back to the classic mode at any time by selecting menu Preferences: Mode: Default. |
ORG-33118 | Startup Dialog | Startup dialog for Life Science Mode | When Life Science Mode is installed, Origin displays a Startup dialog every time you start Origin or create a new project. You can find useful sample for Life Science here, and also open recent projects and data files. Also, you can create a new structured data table if needed. Notice that you can also open this dialog in Default mode by selecting menu Help: Startup Dialog or hot key Ctrl + F8. |
ORG-33000 | Structure Data Table | Support new structure table like Prism | In Origin 2026b, five kinds of structure table like Prism are introduced. To create the table, you can click the New Data Table button on the Standard toolbar, or right-click empty area inside Origin workspace and select New Data Table, or Select menu File: New: New Data Table. This will open dialog like below, Different type of table determines what kinds of graphs you can make and what kind of analyses you can perform. XY Table This table type follows the XYYY... structure, that is one single X column paired with multiple Y columns. It can include an optional Row Title column (Text column for labeling rows) and an X Error column. Each Y Dataset represents a distinct group with multiple Replicates. This table supports different format, includes Raw Data, Summary (Mean), and Summary (Median). User can use this table to do Linear Fit and Nonlinear Fit.
Column This table type follows the YYY... structure: multiple Y columns and no X column. Use this table if your groups are defined by one grouping variable, like Control vs. Treated, or Placebo vs. Low-Dose vs. High-Dose. Each column defines one group within the same grouping variable.It can include an optional Row Title column (Text column for labeling replicates). Column table is mainly used for One Way ANOVA raw data and other analyses comparing independent groups measured on the same variable (e.g., t-tests, nonparametric tests).
Grouped This table type follows the Row Titles + Y columns structure: a Title column for row labels, followed by multiple Y columns organized into Groups. Each Group represents a level of Factor A, and the Y columns within each Group represent the levels of Factor B. You can optionally enable Subgroups to add the third factor for Three Way ANOVA. Subgroups divide each Group (Factor A) into additional levels that represent Factor B, while the Y columns within each Subgroup represent Factor C. Grouped tables are mainly used for two-way ANOVA and analyses with two independent categorical variables (factors). Each factor has two or more levels.
Contingency This table type follows a two-way contingency structure: one Text column for row category labels, paired with multiple Numeric columns containing frequency counts. The first Text column contains labels for the first categorical variable. The following Numeric columns contain integer counts for each level of the second categorical variable. Contingency tables are designed for categorical data analysis such as chi-square tests and Fisher's exact test.
Survival This table type follows the Time + Status structure: one X column for elapsed time, paired with one or more Y columns for event status. The X column contains the "Elapsed Time" from start of observation until event or censoring. Y columns contain "Status" indicating whether an event occurred: typically 0 = Censored (no event/withdrawn), 1 = Event (death/failure/specified outcome occurred). An optional Row Title column can be added for individual subject labels. Survival table is designed for survival analysis and reliability studies.
