ChromSmart® is designed to improve the productivity, consistency and usability of analytical
processes. The system combines supervisory control with rule-based reasoning of data. Data can
include physical/chemical property information, real-time time measurements (UV, pressure,
temperature, etc.), user preferences, and equipment state. Based upon this data ChromSmart®
automates decisions and implement experiments. Applications include process management for
high-throughput screening (HTS) laboratories, and supervisory control of method development
analytical laboratories, and walk-up/open-access systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Supervisory control of for multiple equipment and instrument vendors e.g. Sampling and
robotics, HPLC, LC/MS, column switchers, etc.
- Connect to multiple databases from LIMS, Physical and Chemical Property, Chromatography,
Oracle, SQL Server etc.
- A single Human Machine Interface (HMI) to manage HTS or walk-up/open-access systems
Data Reasoning and Analysis
- Apply both rule-based models and empirical/physical models to analyze data and monitor
equipment.
- Incorporate flow sheets based decision trees, similar to Visio, for data reasoning and
equipment control.
- Real-time, on-line in-method data-analysis and feedback control e.g. equipment/column
monitoring and method performance.
- Post-method or sample data-analysis e.g. re-sampling rules, metrics for performance, etc.
Custom Solutions
- Custom equipment, instrument and database integration.
- Implement specific method development strategies, sample analysis and data reasoning.
- Deploy specific human machine interfaces (HMI)
- Develop custom reporting for databases
