CS - Client Server | Chromperfect

Client server chromatography data system

Chromperfect CS is the combination of over 40 years software development. Taking all aspects of the Chromperfect “ecosystem” with a new focus on security, GLP, centralized management and administration, while maintaining a local redundancy within the lab to allow the enterprise to remain operational during time of temporary IT or network problems.

Central administration with localized flexibility

At the heart of the Chromperfect CS data system is the unique, powerful and extremely flexible acquisition client and service which allows each installation to uniquely address both the needs of the IT department and the laboratory manager. The acquisition client presents virtual instruments that provides users a common GUI for all instruments. The data acquisition server handles the different instrument hardware requirements behind the scenes. With the service able to run on a local machine or a remote server the ability to respond and adapt has never been easier.

Flexibility in a managed and secure environment

Instruments are securely "claimed" by users. Once claimed, only users with sufficient privileges can control the instrument. Other users have freedom to view the status of acquiring chromatograms remotely over the network. If a user decides to leave the acquisition running while absent, control can be locked so no one except system managers can access the instrument. The client/server technology also provides a safe environment for busy networks. Once a sequence of data acquisition is downloaded to the server on the network, operation can continue to the end of the sequence

Security - user and group management

A centralized administration allows the system supervisor to quickly assign privileges and rights to any user group. Allowing for multi-level access to the Chromperfect system for automation and tractability.

Centralized audit & history logging

The centralized security management console allows for automatic system, instrument and user logging and auditing for full GLP compliance. System administrators can quickly, easily and accurately view and search various log files to pinpoint specific data or events quickly, easily and from a central location. Reports can be generated based on system wide searches or data which is specific to a station, instrument or user.

Data Transfer to LIMS and the enterprise.

For years Chromperfect has been synonymous with powerful and flexible reporting and data management. In a large client server system the need for flexible and configurable bi-directional data transfer is essential for automated integration of chromatographic data within the wider enterprise infrastructure. With support for file or database transfer and integration, Chromperfect CS allows the system manager to quickly, seamlessly, reliably and securely add Chromperfect to the network.

Data validation and alarms

With a Chromperfect CS system controlling many instruments used by a distributed network of users, a centralized process of data checking is often essential. The Alarm utility provides a way to check the data as chromatograms are processed and, when appropriate, to raise an alarm. Several kinds of alarms are supported.
