Benefits of Chromeleon CDS

Easily create, modify, and save your own report templates to meet your reporting requirements.

Utilizing the included reporting template capabilities, a final report can be generated in just two simple steps.

With the Chromeleon CDS flexible Report Designer, you can quickly modify your report template, as well as find, add, and edit report formulas.

The Chromeleon CDS provides a flexible spreadsheet-based Report Designer so you can quickly customize your report to contain various plot types to meet reporting requirements.

In the Report Designer, custom calculations can easily be added to meet your reporting requirements — all with full traceability and without the need for external spreadsheets.

Report Designer provides a built-in error check for reports, automatically checking every entry in the entire report and providing a simple interface to easily correct any errors.

Laboratory reports, such as control charts, can be time-consuming to manually collate for required data and updates. Using an Injection Query (a simple set of search criteria) combined with Interactive Charts, provides instant feedback on analyses quality.

Having information about your laboratory performance gives you control of your processes. By combining Injection Queries and Report Templates, you can evaluate all your instrument data and easily visualize this information (e.g., instrument utilization statistics).

Custom Formulas allow saving user-defined calculations as standard report variables. The formula only needs to be validated once and can then be used anywhere a report parameter can be used.

Experience the powerful fraction collection visualization, processing, and reporting tools of the Chromeleon CDS.

Easily create, modify, and save your own report templates to meet your reporting requirements.

Utilizing the included reporting template capabilities, a final report can be generated in just two simple steps.

Sometimes it’s necessary to relocate modules or instruments. With Chromeleon CDS, you can quickly and easily update the license assignment in the Administration Console’s license manager.

Installation and configuration of new workstations in a network can be very complex and time consuming. With the Discovery Service, all computers in the network are automatically connected to and configured for your ChromeleonDomain with just a few clicks.

The unique XVault™ infrastructure provides Operational Security for your laboratory and prevents data loss ensuring the highest lab uptime possible.

Chromeleon CDS can organize your data by combining the powerful Injection Query with the Scheduler. Your data can be collated and moved to a storage Data Vault, easily organizing your system for optimal performance.

Organizational Units permit system administrators to share the infrastructure (network, servers) with a centralized point of administration, while each laboratory/site can retain the ability to manage their own users according to requirements.

Chromeleon CDS provides load balancing for its Data Vault Service, which handles data exchange between Data Vaults and the Chromeleon Client. Load balancing allows distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources, increasing reliability through redundancy.

Simplify meeting the latest demanding regulations. With audit trails tracking all actions, you can defend your data with utmost confidence.

The Audit Trail viewer allows users to filter, group and sort in real-time to quickly find events of interest, like deleted actions.

Chromeleon CDS Audit Trail Review - Visual Comparison

Reviewing data audit trails is critical to ensure data integrity. Chromeleon CDS visual comparison makes it fast and easy with clear graphical justification.

Chromeleon CDS Audit Trail Events

Use Audit Trail Events in Chromeleon CDS to log external events in the Data Audit Trail connecting multiple audit trails to streamline the review process.

Testing into compliance is a point of emphasis for regulators. Periodic review of data vaults using the powerful Injection Query system can help identify if this is occurring in your lab.

Privileged Actions are any operations that require a password and/or comment to be entered. You can setup Chromeleon CDS to make comments default or free-form.

Chromeleon CDS provides comprehensive user management tools in the Administration Console, enabling you to define what users can change and/or access.

With Chromeleon CDS’ flexible user management controls, you can create access groups to restrict access to data and/or instruments to ensure the integrity and security of your data.

Typical qualification of chromatography data systems is a time-consuming manual process. The ChromeleonCDS Operational Qualification (OQ) feature is a fully automated routine that qualifies the software in under 7 minutes.

Data integrity requires a full history of all changes made. Chromeleon CDS provides a comprehensive set of audit trails, tracking all changes made to the instruments, user databases, and all data objects.

Chromeleon CDS stores all previous versions of a data object. All changes can easily be viewed and compared, or previous versions restored with the version comparison tool.

All audit trails can be printed directly from the audit trail viewer or included in your reports.

Electronic Reports provide a pre-submission preview of your final results that can be signed at any time. Once signed, the entire sequence is locked and protected from further changes, ensuring regulatory compliance.

As well as using Electronic Signatures you can also secure data by locking injections, sequences, folders and even Data Vaults, making them read only.

In Chromeleon CDS, the creation of extracted ion chromatograms is very simple. Either interactively select the masses or mass ranges in the Mass Spectral Plot or manually perform extractions directly from your data.

Chromeleon CDS provides a simple interface to view all component properties, together with all other settings, such as quantitation and conformation ions, identification and calibration settings, in one screen.

With Chromeleon CDS you can quickly create component tables, complete with quantitation and confirmation ion information, by electronically importing information from NIST-based compound databases.

Checking an unknown peak against spectral libraries is often a manual and time-consuming process. With Chromeleon CDS, you can automatically search across multiple spectral libraries.

When selecting one or more MS spectral libraries, Chromeleon CDS shows an instant overview of spectral library search results for all peaks in the chromatogram. You can add these results directly to the peak label in the chromatogram for an easier overview.

Chromeleon CDS can automatically perform a library search on the resulting chromatogram, providing valuable information about the differences between the two initial chromatograms.

Chromeleon CDS seamlessly combines results of multiple IC, LC, and GC detectors with MS data. This eliminates the need for multiple software packages and coordinates a reliable, unified process.

Chromeleon CDS supports the export of different file types. This can be set up in the report template and used for automatic or manual export of selected data.

Non-targeted MS processing enables differential analysis of highly complex MS data sets. Chromeleon CDS confidently and reproducibly identifies components with statistically significant inter-sample differences in abundance.

With Chromeleon CDS, you can import acquisition parameters exported from other Thermo Scientific MS software packages or Xcalibur methods. You can also synchronize component transitions between the instrument and processing methods.
