CDS Software—Built for Biopharma

The complex structures of biopharmaceutical therapeutic agents require greater selectivity and sensitivity, which drives the demand for powerful instrumentation and software for their data acquisition and analysis. Previously this required two software packages, one in Development and one in Quality Control (QC). Thermo Scientific Chromeleon 7.3.2 Chromatography Data System (CDS) comfortably operates in both areas and supports Mass Spectrometry (MS) instruments in a compliant enterprise environment, providing a seamless transition from Development to QC within a single software platform.

What are users saying?
"We use Chromeleon daily in my labs. Chromeleon report templates enable us to keep all the raw data, data manipulation, and lot recording in one file so submitting to our lab notebook software is super easy. All experiment details are in one place."
