CompassCDS

Chromatography Data System

CompassCDS is SCION Instruments’ universal chromatography software designed for instrument control, data acquisition, processing, and reporting.

With its unique capacity for customisation, CompassCDS provides users with a powerful data analysis tool with comprehensive calibration and calculation options.

Originating from the legacy Galaxie CDS, CompassCDS has evolved into the next generation chromatography data system, which easily integrates with LIMS, PCS/SCADA, ERP and other commonly used data management systems.

Description

Chromatography Software

Available as a standalone or fully networked client/server application, CompassCDS meets the broadest spectrum of customer’s requirements. The CompassCDS product suite includes a number of industry-specific plug-in and add-on modules for specific calculation and reporting, and long-term archiving of raw and meta data. It integrates easily into the existing IT environment and seamlessly interfaces with LIMS, ELN, ERP (SAP) and PCS/SCADA in order to facilitate, accelerate and automate data exchange, and helping to lower per sample costs and increase overall efficiency of the whole development and production process, starting from R&D over IPC to final QA/QC.

CompassCDS – the always ideal CDS solution for any analytical laboratory!

CompassCDS Plugin

Reporting Software for the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI)

The SCION Instruments Eclipse SIMDIS Software Plug-in automates the data processing and reporting of Gas Chromatography analytical results for petroleum samples ranging from gases up to and including crude oil for DHA, Simdist and Gas Calculation applications.  This software is used with CompassCDS to create the required DHA, SimDist, Gas Calculation and FAME reports.

The example below shows a chromatogram using the Compass Eclipse software plug in, with combined Retention time vs boiling point curve. Eclipse makes it possible to easily obtain the boiling range distribution with different standardized methods, shown in the right handed column of the figure. Learn more about this application.
