Single instrument license, one time base
ClarityChromPrep is an easy-to-use Chromatography Data System for workstations. It includes the full functionality of our ClarityChrom workstation, but also includes the KNAUER fraction collector control and fractionation option. The optional extensions for GC control, PDA, SST, GPC and MS allow to use the software for a wide spectrum of application. All KNAUER devices with a control interface can be controlled. Additionally, devices and systems from more than 45 manufacturers are supported.
The ClarityChromPrep also includes the drivers of several fraction collectors and supports the peak recognition by level and/or slope as well as fractionation by time. In the fraction collector configuration the delay and the fraction vial volume can be defined. This ensures that the target substance will be collected in the fraction vial and the fraction vial will not overflow. If a chromatogram of your separation already exists, the required fractionation commands can be derived directly from the chromatogram with a double mouse-click. The rack view gives an overview of the already collected fraction and their volume. It also includes links to the matching chromatograms of the fractions; with a double mouse-click the chromatogram can be opened. The manual fraction control, the option to use the KNAUER electric valves for fractionation and mass-triggered fractionation with the supported QUAD-MS gives you more flexibility. The combination of virtual detector and virtual fraction collector allows for optimizing the fractionation settings from an existing chromatogram of your separations without any physically existing device and, therefore, without the loss of solvent or target substance.
This license allows for control of one system.
