choice of GPC software

[parent]

I would like to make the purchase of a new GPC software.
I currently use software "Cirrus" of Polymer Laboratories .
does anyone have an opinion on GPC software used by agilent and also by EZchrom Elite?

[Koen Hollebekkers]

I would say that for peak positioning calibration, the software is okay. Especially if you work in a lab where also HPLC is used, than just one software platform would be needed.

Cirrus is dedicated to GPC and has more options for calculations
.

thanks,
I suppose that the Agilent soft cannot make multi detection , isn't it?

[Koen Hollebekkers]

No, like I told before it’s not very sophisticated. I personally would stick to Cirrus.

I am familiar with the GPC Addon for the ChemStation. It does perform all the necessary calculations, including multi-peak evaluation. It has full capability for calibration.

However, like most software programs, it is not easy to learn.

If you are interested in light scattering and viscometry then I would look at Viscotek and Wyatt as well.

[Jeffrey Bodycomb]

Brookhaven Instruments (my employer) offers ParSEC. ParSEC supports light scattering and viscometry in addition to standard GPC.

It is also easy to learn.

I know Wyatt and Viscotek but I think that their possibilities exceed current needs and staff
but I don't know ParSEC and I'll find out
thank you everyone

How does one learn to use the Cirrus GPC Add-on for Chemstation? I thoroughly read the online "Help," but it does not make sense. I am very familiar with the Perkin Elmer GPC software and am new to the Agilent Cirrus GPC Add-on.

I know this is quite an old topic, but: Is there any "cheap" software to analyze GPC data?

I have an old system waters 600 + RI 410 + PDA996, and the millenium 32 computer we had with GPC add on died. Now I'm measuring in a Empower without GPC add on, exporting RI and PDA traces as .arw (ascii files) and manually calibrating and processing in origin + excel.
Just need a software that just does this for "relatively" cheap, and hopefully not suscription based unless really cheap.

Are there softwares like that available? Which would be the cost for a single user/single computer? (most vendors have "quote/inquiry" and the GPC function is an add on on a quite feature rich (aka expensive) base software)

Are there any options out there or am i better off trying to revive the old millenium 32 computer / keep processing by hand?

The use is academic only.

millenium is a Antique.where are u，may i can resolve the problem.
