All of these instruments have one thing in common: They all require the use of a chromatography data system (CDS), which plays a pivotal role in instrument control, data processing, report generation, and data archiving.
DongĬhromatographic analysis, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), ion chromatography (IC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE), constitutes a major portion of testing performed in analytical laboratories. It provides a technical overview of CDS design, historical perspectives, the current marketing landscape, instrument control, data processing practices, and future trends.
This installment is the last of a series of four articles on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) modules, covering pumps, autosamplers, ultraviolet (UV) detectors, and chromatography data systems (CDS).
