End the compromise between lab efficiency and IT needs
Run your lab on an intuitive, user-friendly Chromatography Data System (CDS) that also scales from workstation to global deployment. Connecting people, instruments, and enterprise data management, Thermo Scientific Chromeleon CDS delivers productivity gains, data integrity, and full support of GMP compliance for chromatography, third party systems, including capillary electrophoresis, and Thermo Scientific mass spectrometry instruments.
Built-in Chromeleon eWorkflow™ provides you with the means to go from injection to final results in just three mouse clicks. Chromeleon CDS provides data security, audit-trails documentation and simplified reviews, and is built around a relational database to provide comprehensive coverage of functionality to adhere to GMP and data integrity guidelines. Its service-oriented architecture allows for the fastest performance by separating high-load tasks to run in individual processes on dedicated hardware. With significant advances in system architecture delivering faster processing, particularly for MS users, and enhanced network stability for large networks through balanced distribution of data management and domain administration loads, your lab can perform like never before.
And now with the Thermo Scientific Ardia Platform connected software environment, you can super-charge your Chromeleon CDS with enhanced lab management tools and Ardia Server-side processing for even faster MS/MS data handling speeds.
Discover the latest release: Chromeleon 7.3.2 CDS
Delivering new features and enhancements to ensure you can work more efficiently than ever before! Built for Stability. Built for Performance. See how Chromeleon Software is:
- Built for the Lab: Guide operators quickly through the software with a customizable user interface and benefit from the next version of Chromeleon CDS spreadsheet-based custom reporting engine.
- Built for IT: Streamline handling of custom variables offering faster querying and operation of Data Vaults, and faster error-free execution of large data file transfers utilizing background processing. Benefit from the best network resilience ensuring data security and eliminating single points of failure.
- Built for Compliance: Leverage more than 180 system privileges to simplify support of GMP guidelines by allowing for refined user and access control and benefit from sequence sign-off before acquisition to prevent out of specification results. Our improved gold standard compliance ensure the highest degree of data integrity and traceability.
- Built for MS: Server-based processing capabilities for large size (e.g MS/MS) data files deliver up to 10x faster* processing speeds. Reduce your time from injection to results with background processing and report generation which keeps the UI free.
