Get more "right-first-time" results

Chromeleon CDS was designed with scientists and technicians in mind. It simplifies repetitive tasks, reduces errors and helps you minimize out of specification results. It’s based on something we call Operational Simplicity, improving your lab efficiency through use of:

•  eWorkflow procedures allowing streamlined sequence creation and ensuring users follow SOPs while minimizing training requirements
• Automated System Suitability Checks and  Intelligent Run Control enabling more "right-first-time" analyses with automated in-run actions to pass/fail decisions
• Built in report templates and comprehensive, yet easy-to-customize Excel-style reporting engine enables the rendering of large reports and faster result review by flagging outliers via conditional formatting

Improve productivity by doing more with less

Achieve considerable efficiency gains with one centrally implemented CDS for both chromatography and MS workflows. Chromeleon CDS streamlines laboratory operations making it easier to train lab staff and faster to implement, plus it enables access to all your resources, data and results from any location. Deliver results, faster by use of:

• Industry-leading  multi-vendor instrument control for LC, GC, IC and MS – acquire and process data with a single software
• Efficient data processing and reviewing tools such as customizable view settings,  Cobra Wizard, SmartPeaks Integration Assistant, MiniPlots™ and  SmartLink
• Dedicated workflows, method validation extension packs, and downloadable eWorkflow procedures from AppsLab Library of Analytical Applications 

Connect your laboratory

Network existing Chromeleon CDS stations to create a compliant, laboratory-wide solution. Utilize network resources and centralize administration and get enhanced integration to other laboratory software, such as:
