chromatographic data systems

Chromatographic data systems (CDS) are specialized software tools used in laboratories to control chromatography instruments and analyze their data. They help scientists separate, identify, and quantify substances in complex mixtures by recording signals (like peaks on a graph). The CDS manages instrument operation, collects data, and provides software for interpreting results, ensuring accuracy, reproducibility, and compliance with testing standards. Essentially, it streamlines the process of analyzing chemical samples, making the workflow more efficient and the data reliable.
