PC/Chrom

PC/Chrom is a complete package that interfaces your HPLC or GC or CE detector to your personal computer or to a corporate network server. PC/Chrom reads the analog output signal from the detector, digitizes the signal, displays the chromatogram, and processes the data according to user specifications to produce a final report that can be printed. All hardware and software is included in the PC/Chrom package, including power supply and detector wiring.

Hardware
• PC/Chrom Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters connect to your Personal Computer (PC) via an Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface.
• 1 to 4 independent time-based channels (A/D converters) can be operated per single laptop or desktop computer.
• Each acquisition channel uses a high-resolution 24-bit A/D converter.
• Data acquisition rates of 4, 8, 16, and 32 samples per second (Hz) are supported.
• Support for valve contact closure or TTL start signal, or data acquisition may be initiated from the keyboard.
• Support for TTL Output events, e.g., autozero of detector.
• Each A/D converter is enclosed in external sturdy metal case.

Software
• Fully validated according to FDA Regulations, GAMP Guidelines, and our Quality System for use with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.
• Electronic Records features per FDA 21 CFR Part 11, including full audit trails (event logs) and password protection.
• Data collection may be initiated within a few seconds upon running PC/Chrom, either using default or recalling stored parameters.
• PC/Chrom creates unique folders for each chromatographic run, thus simplifying disk organization.
• Automatic peak integration and calculation of unknown sample concentrations, usng either external or internal standards. Manual peak integration is also possible.
• Response factors may be entered to specify calibrations based on standards that are not present in the standard solution.
• Uncalibrated peaks may be quantitated using a specified standard.
• Chromatographic overlays are supported.
• Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) specific calculations are also supported.
• A Certificate of Validation, User Manuals, and Installation Qualification (IQ) documents are included with all orders.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) services are additional options that are available. Please contact us for information about these services.



A "working" PC/Chrom demo is also currently available. This "working" demo allows you to fully evaluate all the features of PC/Chrom, except that the A/D hardware is not required (data acquisition is simulated). Please contact us for details.

A "working" multilingual PC/Chrom demo will be available soon. This "working" demo allows you to fully evaluate all the features of PC/Chrom in English, German, and Spanish. Please note these are not separate programs, but a single version of PC/Chrom that allows the user, with the click of a button, to switch between languages. Thus the user can work in any supported language, and then print chromatograms and final reports in the same or a different language. The Brazilian Portuguese language will be added later. Please contact us for details.


Serial Port (RS232) A/D hardware is also available. Please contact us for details.
