Clarity is the most universal software of the entire product line. All other versions are derived from the full Clarity software.
Measuring
Simultaneous data acquisition from up to four independent chromatographs, each chromatograph can acquire data from up to 12 detectors.
See Clarity configuration examples.
Integration
There is extensive possibility to modify chromatograms. The chromatogram can be changed by entering global parameters or interactively, through direct graphic modification of the baseline.
Overlay
Simultaneously displays a virtually unlimited number of chromatograms and their mathematical modification; for example, mutual deductions or derivations of any order.
Calibration
Internal and external standard calculation methods, calibration of groups of peaks and reference peaks method for better identification.
Automated measuring support
Sequence tables for any set of samples with or without an autosampler.
Postrun
Automatically displays, prints, exports and starts other programs after the completion of a measurement.
Summary result tables
Displays and prints selected results from all simultaneously displayed chromatograms.
User settings
User selects parameters for peak display and the specification for axes, including color from an extensive array of color settings. Text labels and lines, either as part of the area or anchored to a chromatogram, may also be inserted.
Export
Optional exportation of all results, with or without the chromatogram, in various formats, into a file or clipboard.
Import
Imports chromatograms or mathematical curves, which have been saved in text or AIA formats, from other programs.
LIMS
Clarity offers connectivity with LIMS boths for sample submission and result output. This can be done via convenient ASCII trasfers.
For regulated environments, Clarity provide ample programmatic connection with third party products such as Labtronics' LimsLink package.
Method and calibration history
Each chromatogram can easily be displayed under the same conditions as when it was printed, exported or saved.
Column performance
Calculations of peaks in terms of symmetry, efficiency, resolution; all by several methods (tangent, moments, etc.).
Batch
Automatically batch processes, displays, exports or prints any number of chromatograms.
User calculations
Users can define custom calculations in the Result and Summary tables. Using the integrated editor you can create your own columns from original columns and individual mathematical functions.
User accounts
Sets up access rights and passwords (including their parameters e.g., minimum length, validity, etc.). Each user can define his or her own station appearance.
Audit trail
Records selected events and operations into a special file. Records selected operations directly into a chromatogram.
Electronic signature
Each chromatogram can be signed electronically. Signature selection is based on the username or the signature certificate.
Networked Solution
Clarity chromatography station files can be accessed from networked computers using Clarity Offline software. This enables the offline evaluation of chromatograms, development of new methods and printing reports.
See the Clarity Offline for more details.
Language Localizations available
Useful for non-English speakers. At the moment, there is Chinese localization available, German, Spanish and Portuguese language versions are under development.
Competitive approach
The chromatography market offers many specialized HPLC data systems or GC data systems, these are often provided with the purchased instrument. It is often complicated to integrate such software into the workflow of the laboratory since they do not enable direct control of additional instruments. Comparing to the small scale solutions such as PeakSimple, Chrom&Spec, Borwin, Azur, Multichro or Chrom-Card, Clarity offers wide range of directly controlled instruments as well as optional Extensions for specific separation techniques. On the other hand, complex solutions with wide scope of features and scalable design, such as EZChrom, ChemStation, Chromeleon, Galaxie, Class-VP, Chromquest or Empower are quite expensive, which is a limiting factor for many customers. Another drawback of the large solutions is its complexity which imposes high demands on users. Comparing to this Clarity represents scalable medium ranged solution with steep learning curve and competitive prices. |
