Scientifically Evaluate Chromatographic Columns with ACD/Column Selector
Toronto, Canada, July 7, 2003 -
Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) is pleased to announce the release of ACD/Column Selector, a freeware column selection tool for Palm® OS-based PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) that helps chromatographers select the optimal column to use, taking the uncertainty out of column selection.
This tool enables the chromatographer to search a knowledge base of 135 characterized columns in order to locate the ones that have the properties best suited to the separation at hand. Since each parameter can be targeted individually, chromatographers can also search for columns that have high coefficients for a certain term, allowing them to change their columns to target a given structural aspect.
ACD/Column Selector is included with ACD/Labs' chromatographic software version 7.0, and can be adapted to run on a PC. Free downloads of ACD/Column Selector are available from our website at: www.acdlabs.com/columnselector.
"This application makes a huge body of recent chromatographic research by Mel Euerby and Patrik Petersson of AstraZeneca available to the public. It is very exciting for our first Palm chromatography application to be based on such a new and interesting science," comments Michael McBrien, M.Sc., Chromatography Product Manager at ACD/Labs.
