ACD/ChromProcessor

What's New

Version 10.0 to 12.0

Improvements to LC/UV Processing:

• Several changes to improve the quality of LC/UV peak picking and baseline correction
  • Define a minimal wavelength for processing
  • Exclude the solvent front
  • Virtual separation parameter
  • Output calculated values, like peak quality, solvent similarity, and concentration (%), to the Table of Peaks, to help with further optimization of LC/UV processing
• Easier transfer of LC/UV data to ACD/Matrix, for fast and easy extraction of single-wavelength chromatograms

Enhancements to file import

• Support for Waters Empower 2 custom data fields
• Import Agilent *.CH files without launching Agilent ChemStation
• Improved parameter attachment macro

Other Improvements

• Additional baseline correction
• Option to display area units per millisecond
• Export all fields in the Table of Structures to SDfiles
• Import user data from SDfiles

Version 9.0 to 10.0

New Processing Features:

• Automatic attachment of chemical structures from an SDfile to labeled chromatographic peaks
• Automatic attachment of chemical structures to chromatograms by sample name

LC/UV Processing:

• Peak picking for LC/UV (DAD, PDA) datafiles, not simply the Total Absorbance Chromatogram as in previous versions
  • Retention time, peak height, and wavelength of the peak maximum in the UV-spectrum are added to the Table of Peaks
  • UV-spectrum is retained
• Automatic baseline correction for LC/UV datafiles removes the spectrum of the solvent background
• Peak picking now available for Single UV-Trace(s), not simply the Total Absorbance Chromatogram
• Transfer peak information from one LC/UV dataset to another with Manual Peak Matching tool

Enhancements to file import:

• Method parameters may now be imported directly from 32-bit Agilent ChemStation files
• Import is now available for Waters Empower 2 files
  • Includes direct import of LC/UV (PDA) files
• Direct import of HPLC parameters and gradient program(s) from Waters MassLynx LC/UV (PDA) files
• Direct import of HPLC parameters and gradient program(s) from Agilent ChemStation LC/UV (DAD) files

Version 8.0 to 9.0

New Processing and Analysis capabilities:

• New data fields may be added for further customization of the Table of Structures:
  • Add values such as Formula Weight, Formula, Melting point, etc. which are automatically calculated from the chemical structure.
  • Add user-defined data fields containing text or numerical values.
• Multiple layers of peak a nnotation s can be used to keep track of notes from different users, dates, components, or compound properties. Customize the different layers of annotation layers by color, font etc. Selectively show the different layers.
• Key data fields associated with a record , such as its file name, or experimental parameters, can be displayed directly in the windowpane for quick reference.
• New file import formats:
  • Method parameters may now be imported directly from Agilent ChemStation, reducing the amount of manual data entry.
  • Agilent 32-bit *.ch (chromatograms), *.uv (diode array detector (DAD)), and *.msd (mass spectrum) file formats can now be imported into ACD/ChromManager.
