ClarityChrom CDS - the best choice for (U)HPLC with KNAUER
KNAUER ClarityChrom® is a powerful, yet easy-to-use chromatography software for instrument control, data acquisition and data processing. ClarityChrom is designed for smaller laboratories. It is an economical solution compared to other more complex chromatography software while offering the complete functionality of a full-featured CDS and comes also with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. ClarityChrom includes the following functionality:
• complete LC control and autosampler control package,
• support for a wide range of instruments,
• scalable from 1 to 4 LC systems (instruments),
• up to 12 detectors (channels) for a system can be configured
• optional extensions, e.g. for PDA data handling, GPC analysis, SST for automated system tests, LC/MS or GC control
• included preparative functionality
• advanced, flexible preparative functionality from KNAUER with Knauer FRC control module
Please refer to the instrument support list for a detailed list of supported instruments. Beside all KNAUER instruments, devices and systems from more than 45 manufacturers can be controlled. Additionally, data acquisition can also be performed with any detector providing a voltage output by simply connecting a KNAUER IFU 2.1 interface box or any other supported A/D converter.

ClarityChrom Extensions
ClarityChrom has several extensions adding the functionality you need in a CDS
PDA extension for 3D UV data handling
The PDA extension allows to acquire and process 3D data from a photo diode array detector (KNAUER PDA detectors are fully supported). The PDA extension provides peak purity analysis and peak identification by spectral library search in self-made or commercial spectra libraries. Signals from a desired wave length can be easily added from the 3D data.
System Suitability test extension
The system suitability test (SST) extension offers specific calculated parameters of the separation to be monitored and compared to user set limit values to evaluate the reproducibility of the results of the entire chromatography system. The parameters, available for check, are retention time, area, height, amount, width at half peak height, asymmetry, symmetry/tailing, capacity, efficiency, efficiency/column length, HETP, resolution and response. Calculations are possible from all or just selected validated (calibrated) components.
GPC/SEC extension
The GPC/SEC option provides interactive and automated gel permeation chromatography analysis, including re-calibration and GPC reporting, as well as simplifies the retrieval of GPC data. Narrow or broad standard calibration methods are supported combined with flow rate correction and universal calibration. In chromatogram view the molecular weight and cumulative molecular weight distribution can be easily compared by chromatogram overlay. The GPC results table displays molecular weight averages together with peak details for active signal.
KNAUER FRC control module
The KNAUER FRC control module enables the drivers for several fraction collectors and supports the peak fractionation by time, level and/or slope. The manual fraction control, the option to use the KNAUER electrical valves for fractionation and, with a supported mass spectrometer, mass-triggered fractionation offers an astonishing flexibility. The rack view gives detailed information about all collected fractions and direct links to open the matching chromatograms.
