Enterprise Level Databasing for Chromatographic Method Development

Scott MacDonald, Mike McBrien, Michel Hachey, Margaret Antler

Abstract

Chromatographic method development can be streamlined a great deal by the use of previous sample knowledge of similar types. Through access to previous results, we can significantly speed chromatographic method development by pointing to an optimal starting point for similar separations. However, previous results are not always easily accessible to the analyst.

Enterprise-wide application databasing can accelerate chromatographic method development by providing easy access of previous separations to all chemists within the organization.

This poster will describe how a customized, enterprise-wide separations database can accelerate method development. Deployment of the database via thin or thick client installations will be discussed. Accessing results in the database by chemical structure, substructure, and text searching will be described. Automated updates of the database using macros and fully automated workflows will be demonstrated. The use of external content databases will also be discussed.
