HPLC Automation

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a widely applied separation technique that is employed across many industries. Applications include research and development, scale-up, and routine analysis in the pharmaceutical, bio-tech, government, and chemical industries. The inherent usefulness of HPLC is its ability to separate a wide variety of compounds. Developing adequate separation methods requires a breadth of chemical knowledge as well as extensive chromatography experience.

Experienced chromatographers combine a chemical understanding with rules-of-thumb to develop HPLC separation methods. Most often, developing a method is a tedious and time-consuming process that requires direct interaction between experienced personnel and equipment.

ILS delivers the ChromSmart solution. ChromSmart combines a chromatographer’s knowledge with information collected from equipment and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) to automated HPLC equipment in an unattended manner. ChromSmart MD provides "out of the box" automated method development for reverse-phase and chiral separations. ChromSmart MD Tools allows chromatographers to customize the system with their own knowledge.
