PurityChrom® Basic

Basic License: 8 devices, 3 data channels, no autosampler supported

PurityChrom is a chromatography software especially designed for the area of preparative purifications and FPLC applications.

PurityChrom provides a user-friendly and clearly structured interface. The system visualization offers a graphical representation of the purification system and allows easy handling even of complex flow processes. Furthermore, each device which is displayed in the fluidic scheme can be manually controlled, giving the opportunity to optimize, change and adapt your conditions during the run. Due to its high flexibility, methods can be developed according to specific demands.

You have the option to create a method based on volume, column volume or time. There is also a possibility to pause or to change the method parameters during the run, which gives you complete control over your chromatography process. In PurityChrom you can define important functions in your method with variables. This allows you to write methods that can be adapted more flexibly to a specific sample or coloumn, just before the run with only one click. In combination with the sequence table a quick and easy method scouting provides you with the best method for your purification problem in less time. Furthermore, the sequence table helps to automate purification and CIP protocols.

For fractionation, you can use a fractionation valve as well as a fraction collector.

The function Solvent Supply calculates the consumption of solvent for the current run and prevents your column from running dry whereas the function Waste Management prevents the loss of your sample.

Current guidelines and regulations like 21 CFR part 11 are entirely supported. PurityChrom allows flexible support of different devices from KNAUER and other manufactures. Please check for more information about supported devices the Release Notes of the latest PurityChrom version. With an unlimited number of free offline licenses, you can write methods and evaluate runs on any computer of your choice, without blocking the system.

The basic version offers all main features but is limited to 3 data channels and the control of eight devices, but does not support an autosampler. The upgrade version (A2652) supports 8 data channels and an unlimited number of devices including an autosampler. The 3D option (A2654) allows the support of an diode-array detector and the MS option (A2655) the usage of an mass spectrometer.
