Get more "right-first-time" results

Chromeleon CDS was designed with scientists and technicians in mind. It simplifies repetitive tasks, reduces errors and helps you minimize out of specification results. It’s based on something we call Operational Simplicity, improving your lab efficiency through use of:

•  eWorkflow procedures allowing streamlined sequence creation and ensuring users follow SOPs while minimizing training requirements
• Automated System Suitability Checks and  Intelligent Run Control enabling more "right-first-time" analyses with automated in-run actions to pass/fail decisions
• Built in report templates and flexible  report designer ensuring correct calculations and eliminating the need to export to other software packages

Improve productivity by doing more with less

Achieve considerable efficiency gains with one centrally implemented CDS for both chromatography and MS workflows. Chromeleon CDS streamlines laboratory operations making it easier to train lab staff and faster to implement, plus it enables access to all your resources, data and results from any location. Deliver results, faster by use of:

• Industry-leading  multi-vendor instrument control for LC, GC, IC and MS – acquire and process data with a single software platform
• Efficient data processing and reviewing tools such as  Cobra Wizard, SmartPeaks Integration Assistant, MiniPlots™ and  SmartLink
• Dedicated workflows method validation extension packs and downloadable eWorkflow procedures from AppsLab Library of Analytical Applications 

Connect your laboratory

Network existing Chromeleon CDS stations to create a compliant, laboratory-wide solution. Utilize network resources and centralize administration and get enhanced integration to other laboratory software, such as:

• Thermo Scientific SampleManger LIMS, SDMS and LES software to manage the complete laboratory workflow
• Chromeleon SDK allowing non-chromatographic instruments to connect with Chromeleon CDS
• Instrument control drivers specifically written for Chromeleon software using the DDK

Make compliance a competitive advantage

Built for compliance from the ground up, Chromeleon CDS helps you meet the latest regulatory requirements and still improve productivity. It assists with achieving, maintaining and demonstrating compliance, enabling your laboratory to keep up with ever-evolving standards and regulations through:

• Traceability with automatically-created comprehensive set of secure, computer-generated time-stamped audit trails
• Secure, administrator-controlled user access and permissions
• Electronic signatures
• Versioning of data objects to understand and view the history of data and the impact on results
