Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has introduced new ChromQuest™ 5.0 Chromatography Data System (CDS) software. ChromQuest 5.0 software provides a new user interface, data acquisition, data processing and reporting for Thermo Scientific LC and GC instrumentation, including the Accela™ High Speed LC system and all of the configurations of the versatile TriPlus™ Autosampler.

Designed for multi-user and multi-instrument operations, ChromQuest 5.0 provides features specifically of interest to chemical, environmental and academic laboratories, including multi-level calibrations, graphic method editing, conditional sequence actions and automated LIMS export. The easy-to-use chromatography software provides integrated instrument control for the existing Thermo Scientific LC systems, including the entry level SpectraSYSTEM, the novel Surveyor Plus™ LC system and the Accela High Speed LC instrument. Additionally, ChromQuest 5.0 provides digital control for all Thermo Scientific LC system components including pump and Photo-Diode Array (PDA) detector.

The software also provides integrated instrument control for the complete range of existing Thermo Scientific GC products from the compact and affordable single channel Focus GC, to the advanced and innovative TRACE GC Ultra™, automated by the flexible TriPlus autosampler for Liquid, Headspace and SPME (under license from Supelco) sampling techniques.

AutosamplersAutosamplers are automated sample loaders used with a number of separation and analytical techniques. HPLC autosamplers use automated partial or full-loop injection systems and place samples in vials or microplates for analysis. Autosamplers can also be used for elemental analysis. Features to consider include repeatability, syringe capacity, footprint and temperature controls.  Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.
