Introducing Chromeleon 7 New-generation Chromatography Data System Simply Intelligent Intelligent Functionality - it does everything you need! Operational Simplicity - everything is fast and easy! Simplifies all chromatography processes
Chromeleon 7 - Operational Simplicity Operational Simplicity was the core design principle Major design rules: Minimize number of steps needed to perform any task Make all steps easy to understand and easy to use Minimize time needed to perform any task Major features for Operational Simplicity: Modern user interface Peak detection and integration tools eworkflows Data visualization tools Enterprise functionality
USER INTERFACE
User Interface The Chromeleon User Interface consists of two major parts: Chromeleon Console Chromatography Studio
Chromeleon Console Designed to provide easy navigation through your data Provides quick access to: Instruments Data eworkflows
Console Quick Access to Information Navigation Pane Category Bars 8
Thumbnails Quick Access to Data Quick check to see if chromatogram ran properly Check for presence / absence of peaks Check quality of separations
Instruments - epanels Provides access to all instruments on the network Direct Control of Instrument through controls on epanel
Chromatography Studio Used for All Data Evaluation Provides access to every object in the sequence: Injection List Instrument Method Processing Method Results Report Template Spectral Library Opens in separate window on task bar makes working with multiple sequences easy Uses new Ribbon technology introduced in Microsoft Office 2007
Chromatography Studio Ribbon Navigation Pane Category Bars
New Ribbon Interface Provides contextual access to commands and options in the Studio 13
PEAK DETECTION COBRA Detection Algorithm / SmartPeaks
Peak Detection Most time consuming and tedious task in chromatography process: Chromatogram Integration Chromeleon 7 introduces two new tools to simplify this process: Cobra Peak Detection Algorithm / Wizard SmartPeaks Integration Assistant
Peak Detection Cobra Cobra is a new algorithm that: Finds peak start and end times accurately and consistently Requires minimum number of parameters to reach integration goals Cobra Wizard provides: Fast, guided way to determine initial detection parameters
Peak Detection Cobra Wizard
Peak Detection Cobra Wizard Start Cobra Wizard Define the integration range Select the narrowest peak to be integrated Select the smallest peak to be integrated
Peak Detection Cobra Wizard And your integration is done! 19
Peak Detection - SmartPeaks Unique tool for easily reaching your integration goals for unresolved peaks Requires no training Great example of Operational Simplicity Process is clear and understandable Requires only a few steps Correctly integrates all unresolved peaks in seconds
Peak Detection SmartPeaks Activate SmartPeaks Wizard Select area of interest Select the integration you want 21
Peak Detection SmartPeaks And your integration is done! 22
eworkflows The Ultimate in Operational Simplicity
eworkflows eworkflows automate all chromatography processes Applies to all laboratories, for example: QA/QC laboratories Method development laboratories Research & Development laboratories Walk-up instrument workflows Takes you from Samples to Results in only a few steps
eworkflows An eworkflow brings together all aspects of a chromatography run: Instruments which are allowed to run this application All associated files: Instrument Methods Processing Methods Reports Spectral Libraries Documents with description of method Template for sequence name and storage location Custom Variables Rules for sequence layout
eworkflows A Regulated USP/EP Method Sequence is created and can be immediately run Choose eworkflow, select instrument, and click Start Enter number of samples, and start position
eworkflows A Regulated USP/EP Method This eworkflow also: Processes all data Calculates all results
eworkflows From Samples to Results eworkflows take you from Sample to Results in the minimum number of steps Fully customizable for any application Minimum amount of training required Reduces errors and produces results faster A new framework for Operational Simplicity
INTERACTIVE CHARTING
Data Visualization Interactive Charts for Data Visualization Fully customizeable Templates for the most common tasks Available for both on-screen and printed/exported reports.
Interactive Charting Various Chart types Pie Chart 2D / 3D Stacked Column 2D / 3D Scatter Plot
Interactive Charting: Examples Product Stability Query performed on SQL Server database on all data (including historical) Active Rel.Area % vs. Impurity Rel.Area %.
Interactive Charting: Examples Instrument Utilization 33
Interactive Charting: Examples Column Performance 34
REPORTING
Spreadsheet Based Reporting The Excel-like report environment is both familiar and intuitive. If Excel is used for additional calculations they can be included in Chromeleon. No data transcription or export to Excel is required. Results are generated instantly.
Spreadsheet Based Reporting Excel-like formulae can be included for custom calculations In this case the operator has configured a report to flag out of specification results.
Report Designer - Functions Many Excel-like functions available use identical syntax AVERAGE IF / AND / OR STDEV COUNT SUM LOOKUP etc
Report Designer Export Options 1. TXT 2. PDF 3. XLS
SUPPORT FOR THIRD PARTY INSTRUMENTS
Instrument Control Chromeleon 7 can control Thermo Scientific LC, GC and IC. Chromeleon 7 can control 3rd Party LCs and GCs Agilent 1100, 1200, 1260, 1290, G1888, 6850, 6890, 7890 Waters Acquity, Alliance Shimadzu LC10, LC2010, LC20 Chromeleon 6.8 controls over 330 different modules from 30 different manufacturers. These drivers are being converted to CM7
Interfacing with 3rd Party Instruments Formal Code Exchange agreements with major manufacturers: Waters Agilent CTC Shimadzu For other manufacturers we rely on openly published codes e.g. GSIOC codes for Gilson systems For some manufacturers we provide a Driver Development Kit Merck Hitachi 42
