Clarity software comparison table

The comparison table displays the differences between our three key Clarity software Solutions.

Clarity Lite is a simplified version of Clarity that provides data acquisition from one chromatograph (using one A/D converter with up to four detectors sharing a common time-base). With its reduced set of functions Clarity Lite is an inexpensive solution for a non-regulated environment. Clarity Lite can be easily upgraded at a later date.

Clarity Offline allows users to evaluate data and prepare methods. This version cannot acquire data and communicate with the directly controlled instruments, but it can share data or even directly access (through LAN) projects of the two above-described stations. With Clarity Offline users are able to work with acquired data on additional computers in the lab or at home.
