DataApex Clarity Chromatography Software

Optional control modules provide integrated control of selected instruments such as GCs, LCs, pumps, detectors, autosamplers, etc. Extensions provide functions for specific separation techniques or calculations such as PDA, GPC analysis, Mass spectrometry, or SST. Clarity can run in English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese language. Support technicians and developers are close to their users and ready to provide extensive Support from DataApex.

Main features

• Measuring: Simultaneous data acquisition from up to four independent chromatographs, each chromatograph can acquire data from up to 32 detectors.

• Integration: There is an 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.

• Wide range of supported instruments: Control modules in Clarity allow users to control various instruments in their lab. See our growing List of supported instruments.

• Extensions completing your workflow: Clarity Extensions integrates your workflow into one application. GPC calculations, PDA data processing, gas or detailed hydrocarbon analyses according to selected norms, and much more.

• 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, both for sample submission and result output. This can be done via convenient ASCII transfers.

• 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 appearance of the software.

• 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 software 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 are French, German, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese localizations available in a single installation package. Simply switch to your preferred language anytime.

• 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 usually complicated to integrate such software into the workflow of the laboratory since they do not enable direct control of additional instruments. Compared to other small-scale solutions, Clarity offers a wide range of directly controlled instruments as well as optional Extensions for specific separation techniques. On the other hand, complex solutions with a wide scope of features and scalable design are quite expensive, which is a limiting factor for many customers. Another drawback of the large solutions is their complexity which imposes high demands on users. Compared to this, Clarity represents a scalable medium-ranged solution with a steep learning curve and competitive prices.

Clarity configurations examples

One chromatograph with two detectors

DataApex Clarity Chromatography Software: Clarity configurations examples - One chromatograph with two detectors.jpg

• The HPLC measures on two detectors. Clarity will acquire two separate signals sharing a common timebase (synchronized START/STOP). A resulting chromatogram will contain two signals.

Two chromatographs, one with multiple detectors

DataApex Clarity Chromatography Software: Clarity configurations examples - Two chromatographs, one with multiple detectors.jpg

• This example displays a configuration with two chromatography systems (GC + HPLC) where the HPLC system uses multiple detectors. All the detectors attached to the HPLC Instrument will share common timebase (synchronized START/STOP). The GC detector will be independent.

Two chromatographs, one digital control

DataApex Clarity Chromatography Software: Clarity configurations examples - Two chromatographs, one digital control.jpg This example displays a configuration with two chromatography systems (GC + LC). The GC is connected and controlled via digital interface *, using a GC Control appropriate module.

Four chromatographs with autosampler each
