Clarity is advanced Chromatography Data Station (CDS) with optional software modules for data acquisition, processing and instrument control. Its wide range of data acquisition interfaces (A/D converters, LAN, USB, RS232) allows connection to any GC or LC chromatograph.
Up to four independent chromatography systems can be simultaneously connected, each can acquire up to 32 signals.
You can switch any time between English, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Chinese localization.
Control modules provide integrated control of selected instruments such as GCs, pumps, detectors, autosamplers, etc.
Extensions provide functions for specific separation techniques such as PDA, GPC analysis, Mass spectrometry or SST.
Clarity2Go in your iPhone or Android powered mobile devices allows you to monitor running analyses from multiple installations of Clarity.
Clarity - Main features
Clarity is the most universal software of the entire product line. All other versions are derived from the full Clarity software.
Measuring
- Simultaneous data acquisition from up to four independent chromatographs, each chromatograph can acquire data from up to 32 detectors.
Integration
- There is 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.
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 even 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 boths for sample submission and result output. This can be done via convenient ASCII trasfers.
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 station appearance.
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 station 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.
Language Localizations available
- Useful for non-English speakers. At the moment, there are French, German, Russian, Spanish and Chinese localizations available in single installation package. Simply switch to your preffered 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 often complicated to integrate such software into the workflow of the laboratory since they do not enable direct control of additional instruments. Comparing to the small scale solutions such as PeakSimple, ChromPerfect, Chrom&Spec, Borwin, Azur, Multichro or Chrom-Card, Clarity offers wide range of directly controlled instruments as well as optional Extensions for specific separation techniques. On the other hand, complex solutions with wide scope of features and scalable design, such as OpenLab, EZChrom, ChemStation, Chromeleon, TotalChrom, GCSolution, LCSolution, Galaxie, Atlas, Class-VP, Chromquest or Empower are quite expensive, which is a limiting factor for many customers. Another drawback of the large solutions is its complexity which imposes high demands on users. Comparing to this Clarity represents scalable medium ranged solution with steep learning curve and competitive prices.
