ChromSmart® is designed to improve the productivity, consistency and usability of analytical
processes.  The system combines supervisory control with rule-based reasoning of data.  Data can
include physical/chemical property information, real-time time measurements (UV, pressure,
temperature, etc.), user preferences, and equipment state.  Based upon this data ChromSmart®
automates decisions and implement experiments.  Applications include process management for
high-throughput screening (HTS) laboratories, and supervisory control of method development
analytical laboratories, and walk-up/open-access systems.  

Key Features and Benefits
  • Supervisory control of for multiple equipment and instrument vendors e.g. Sampling and
    robotics, HPLC, LC/MS, column switchers, etc.   
  • Connect to multiple databases from LIMS, Physical and Chemical Property, Chromatography,
    Oracle, SQL Server etc.
  • A single Human Machine Interface (HMI) to manage HTS or walk-up/open-access systems

Data Reasoning and Analysis
  • Apply both rule-based models and empirical/physical models to analyze data and monitor
    equipment.
  • Incorporate flow sheets based decision trees, similar to Visio, for data reasoning and
    equipment control.  
  • Real-time, on-line in-method data-analysis and feedback control e.g. equipment/column
    monitoring and method performance.
  • Post-method or sample data-analysis e.g. re-sampling rules, metrics for performance, etc.

Custom Solutions

  • Custom equipment, instrument and database integration.
  • Implement specific method development strategies, sample analysis and data reasoning.
  • Deploy specific human machine interfaces (HMI)
  • Develop custom reporting for databases
