ACD/AutoChrom for Empower™ 2 Software

Method Development Software for Waters LC Systems

ACD/AutoChrom software combines instrument control for Waters HPLC, UPLC®, and LC/MS systems with software for logical method development. You define your project and your goals, and AutoChrom will generate the method files for Waters Empower™ 2 Software, execute the experiments, guide you through the data processing, and help you select the next experiment to perform. AutoChrom helps you design high-quality, robust methods, faster than ever before.

Simplified Method Screening→
AutoChrom will run column, buffer, and solvent screening experiments, find and track all peaks in your samples, and select the best result. Automatic generation and execution of method sequences makes screening easier than ever.

Assisted Method Optimization→
AutoChrom guides you through method optimization, helping you avoid the experiments that are unlikely to work, and develop high quality separation methods. When you accept AutoChrom’s suggestion for the next experiment, the software will execute the experiment automatically.

Automated Peak Tracking→
AutoChrom will track peaks from run-to-run based on UV or MS spectral similarity, so that you can find all trace components, and avoid missed peaks.

Project Management→
See a clear overview of your experiments, and dig down into the original data when necessary. Experiments are summarized in a peak table as you work.
