ACD/AutoChrom assists chromatography experts in developing chromatographic separations by applying Quality by Design (QbD) principles. The software employs a workflow-based structure to streamline and track projects, enabling users to begin with reasonable starting conditions and columns, define a strategy with software wizards, and automatically run experiments for screening and optimization. It models separations in 1D, 2D, or 3D, and documents decisions for data integrity and future learning. AutoChrom helps reduce unnecessary experiments by simulating chromatograms to see how the separation will look under new conditions. The dashboard provides a view of the project, including the workflow strategy, experimental steps, and instrument configuration. The software also assists in finding the best pH by predicting logD for each pH, and features a peak-matching algorithm to simplify the tracking of UV and MS peaks. The Column Selector aids in picking the right columns with the help of radar graphs.
