ChromSword Automated Method Development interface

ChromSword has released the Automated Method Development interface for its ChromSwordAuto product and the Dionex Chromeleon CDS software, allowing the Dionex UltiMate 3000 liquid chromatograph to interface with method development tools from ChromSword.

The interface uses Chromeleon software to control the instrument and sequence data, and optimised instrument methods are stored in the Chromeleon database for later use. Its features include: automatic search for optimal separation conditions, including column switching; solvent selection; and gradient optimisation. The options are set in the interface and automatically transferred to the software.

Using ChromSwordAuto and Chromeleon in tandem allows a chromatographer to run all method development tasks automatically including method scouting, impurity profiling, fine optimisations and robustness tests.
