Chromatography Data System Software Development
 "Emerging changes in the global lab will have
a profound influence on future CDS development"
 New business and technical developments are
impacting laboratories at a faster and faster pace. These
developments are having a significant impact on evolving
laboratory software applications, specially the chromatography
data system, or CDS, in ways few could have predicted... continue

web exclusive Four CDS Compliance
Lessons
 "A look at non-compliances, current trends and
changes in the FDA's approach to pre-approval
inspections"
 Unfortunately, there are always some organizations
that end up serving as an example for others not to follow.
Some typical examples of these practices can be seen by
trawling through the warning letters on the FDA Web site or
reading some of the 483 observations given to worthy
organizations. In this article, I would like to present and
discuss two examples involving chromatography data systems...

Facilitating Analysis and Detection for
SFC
 "Software integration enables hyphenated SFC
analysis"
 The pace of analysis and purification labs is
increasing at a dizzying clip. Methods are to become shorter,
column robustness is taxed by the increasing flows and
pressures of HPLC systems, and hyphenated detector
identification of peaks is just as important as relative
purity. Supercritical fluid chromatography is an alternative
chromatographic technique... continue

 "Implementing a Multi-Vendor Client/Server
CDS with LIMS in a Petrochemical Lab"
 Successfully implementing a Chromatography Data
System (CDS) can depend on a number of issues including the
core features in the particular CDS. For the petrochemical
laboratory, many important CDS features must address the
critical need of the laboratory to deal with a large volume of
samples and provide efficient, automated workflows between the
CDS and other laboratory tools such as a LIMS. This case study
describes the worldwide deployment of a multi-vendor
client/server CDS, EZChrom Elite, at a major U.S. chemical
company that has resulted in a number of tangible benefits
affecting the entire laboratory.
