Enhanced calibration and quantification

Increase simplicity and precision while cutting cost and complexity.

Consolidate callibration data icon

Consolidate calibration data from multiple mixtures

Save time with the copy and paste feature for calibration information between methods.This enables you to run calibration methods—one for each mixture—then centralize them into a single production method.It also facilitates transferring calibration information of stable and costly calibrations between methods such as flame ionization detector (FID) response factors.


Accelerate calibration calculations icon

Accelerate calibration calculations

You can now set compound multiplier and dilution factors for calibration samples in both the sequence and injection list, eliminating the need for tools such as Microsoft Excel or calculators.


Data integrity enhancements

Strengthen data integrity by refining processes and leveraging advanced technologies to maintain data accuracy and reliability.

E-signature workflow icon

Fine tune your eSignature workflow

Authorship control enables lab managers to easily customize who can sign documents at different stages of the eSignature workflow, maintaining adherence to laboratory standard operating procedures.


Align standards icon

Align with the latest pharmacopeia standards

New system suitability updates ensure you are meeting standards outlined in the EP, JP, and USP <621> 2022.This includes the flexibility to select the appropriatenvalue for signal-to-noise calculations.Additionally, a new formula is available to calculate Resolution.The updated resolution and efficiency values can be conveniently displayed in results tables and reports for easy reference and comparison.


Support for biopharma workflows
