Chromatography Forum

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of any open source software that can run older hplc systems. Namely the HP 1050 or Waters OR Shimadzu units? This is of course assuming I have all interface cards installed (ie. HPIB, etc)?

I found OpenChrom (https://www.openchrom.net) but not sure if I can use it.

There is only one FOSS chromatographic system which can control HPLC equipment but unfortunately neither HP/Agilent nor Shimadzu

https://sourceforge.net/projects/chromulan/

You're right, OpenChrom is designed for data analysis only. But CHROMuLAN and OpenChrom cooperate, see:

Though, it's in czech language, but have a look e.g. at page 24.

Hi,

Mr. Pisa has holiday now. I will try to answer simply .

Chromulan plugin has been developed for acquisition data through A\D convertor ULAD 32 (http://www.pikron.com/pages/products/hplc/ulad_32.html) which can be connected with any HPLC chromatograph, which contains analog output.

Chromulan plugin collect data from A\D convertor and save data in format which is supported by program openchrom.
