ACD/AutoChrom MDS

Method development software for chromatography.

ACD/AutoChrom Method Development Suite (MDS) combines instrument control for LC/MS and LC/UV systems with software for logical method development following Quality by Design (QbD) principles. Define your project and your goals, and AutoChrom MDS will execute the experiments, guide you through data processing and interpretation, and help you select the next experiment to perform. Develop high-quality robust methods, in less time than you ever could before.

Features
  • Automatic peak tracking between runs helps you find all relevant components
  • Instrument control through Agilent ChemStation or Waters® Empower™ 2 software
  • Method Development Assistant suggests the next experiment to run
  • Store new methods in a fully searchable database
  • Run in Automated, or Manual modes
Benefits
  • Find a better starting point for method development
  • Develop more robust methods in less time
  • Reduce the need for manual data interpretation
  • Manage projects more efficiently and protect valuable research data

With instrument control (Automated Mode) or without (Manual Mode), ACD/AutoChrom MDS significantly reduces the time it takes to develop new methods. The QbD approach allows methods to be developed using systematic design of experiments, multivariate optimization, and modeling robustness throughout the method development process. From selecting a better starting point, to intelligent optimization, you will get better methods, faster.
