ChromSword Auto software

ChromSword Auto Software incorporated into Waters AMDS. Useful tool for optimizing isocratic and gradient methods and for predicting optimum column configurations. Similar to DryLab and can also work 14,000... 

America, San Jose, CA, USA, and Scientific Software Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA, versions for Hitachi LaChrom and LaChromElite hardware and EZChromElite software were launched. Partnership with Agilent Technologies resulted in the creation of a powerful version that supports Agilent 1100 LC and LC/MS systems with six columns and twelve solvent selectors. Further systems supported by ChromSword Auto are Waters Alliance LC systems with Millenium and Empower softwares. ChromSword Auto also supports 2-8 column and 2-16 solvent switching valves for all HPLC systems described. 

This so-called scouting can be simply automated in the case of switching valves for columns [5] and solvents [6]. Software products (see Chapters 4.1 and 4.2 in this book) such as AMDS (Waters), ChromSword Auto (VWR), and HEUREKA (AnaConDa) additionally facilitate the programming work by automatically providing sequences with the necessary control methods. 

ChromSword Auto is presently being marketed as the most effective and mature system. As mentioned above, none of the systems, however, can accomplish a development with optimization in a completely unsupervised manner. Nevertheless, the goals can be achieved with all of them. Crucial for the purchase, however, is what software is already used for controlling HPLC devices in the laboratory, whether DryLab has already been installed, whether apparatus of a certain manufacturer is already in operation, or whether management prescribes a certain manufacturer. One must also decide whether one trusts only the security and...
