We are in the market for a new LC HPLC/UHPLC. Now we have one system, Ultimate 3000 BioRS + Chromelon 7.2 ES MUb, and are looking for a simliar system from Thermo (again) or Waters. The focus is SEC/GFC and standard UV-Vis Multi wave >3 wavelength detector. Our area is R&D/manufacturing for in-vitro-use.
My guess is, that the software is the biggest difference given my rather easy task to perform, hence my question for you users, with experience from both Chromeleon and Empower. What is the biggest differences between Chromeleon and Empower? What am I missing in Chromeleon which is found in Empower given the needs presented above?
It took some time learning Chromeleon coming from Unicorn (prep system vs analytical), but once I learnt how Chromeleon works it gets very powerful because of the way everything is so easy to customize (even the UI).
However, what I find lacking in Chromeleon is:
Buffer Library for buffer screening using automated quatenary mixing (found in Unicorn)
Possibility to set gradient variables as custom variables
An even better column performance tracking system than using Query + custom variable.
Thanks,
Peter
