Efficient Data Review
and Visualization

With complex mixtures, even the best chromatography cannot fully separate all unique components every time. That’s why OpenLab CDS features embedded mathematical and graphical display algorithms that help you resolve, find, and process these mixtures.

OpenLab CDS also lets you choose between multiple integrators, which can be configured to make sure chromatograms are integrated correctly the first time. That means existing OpenLab CDS ChemStation or EZChrom Edition users can rest assured that the results generated today will be consistent with those from the past.

Occasionally, a peak will appear that requires manual integration. These peaks can easily be addressed using the context-sensitive manual integration capability of OpenLab CDS. Simply move the cursor to your area of interest, and the correct integration tool will be activated automatically. If more than one integration tool is applicable, an integration wheel displaying each tool makes selection easy.

Want to correct a baseline? Just move the leading or trailing point. Want to integrate an overlooked peak? Simply add the baseline. Results are automatically generated and displayed after each operation. Manual integration events can also be incorporated into your data analysis method to increase your speed to results.

For example, Peak Explorer can help you diagnose instrument problems quickly by visualizing retention time trends for a single compound over a series of injections. With LC systems, earlier elution times may suggest solvent mixing problems, later elution times indicate improper column equilibration, and random elution times signal air in the pump.

The unique combination of speed, flexibility, simplicity, accuracy, and cost savings makes Peak Explorer an important addition to your lab’s data review process.
