GC/LC control

Direct control of GC chromatographs
The GC control module contains means for the complete control of selected types of gas chromatographs
You can easily set the parameters of the chromatograph from your computer (e.g. temperature program of oven or inlet, pressure program, etc.). The whole description of the GC method is again stored together with the data of the analysis and can be displayed or printed at any time.
The GC monitoring window for given types of gas chromatographs clearly displays both the current and required value of the individual parameters.

Direct control of LC pumps
In the field of LC chromatography, Clarity primarily provides control of pumps. Clarity Instruments can create the LC gradient from up to four independent pumps for each instrument simultaneously.
The created control method is saved in the chromatogram file.
Intelligent pumps are controlled over the serial interface RS-232. Simpler types, driven by voltage or frequency, are controlled using the dedicated PCI computer CB20 cards.

Direct control of autosamplers
Control of autosamplers enables Clarity to ensure complete automation services for your laboratory.
The chromatography station provides you with access to all parameters of the injection methods directly from your computer and allows you to determine the order of individual vials.

Clarity supports a number of different instrument and autosampler control options, with more under development.

Shown here is the Agilent 6890 control option and below, the HPLC gradient control module which can be used with any analog or frequency driven pump system.

A complete list of controlled instruments is shown at the bottom of this page.

The Universal Pump Control Module expands the capability of the Clarity Chromatography Station extending the range of controlled HPLC pumps. The Universal Pump Control Module is designed for HPLC pumps which are controlled by text commands using the COM port (RS232) and are able to change flow upon external command. The module allows setting flowrate, min/max pressure, (eluent composition), reading current flowrate, current pressure, (current composition) and checking for potential errors. The module has been tested with selected pumps including LabAlliance (Series III, 1500), Knauer (Smartline 1000, K1001) and Ecom pumps.

The Universal Pump Control Module is included within the SW Module for HPLC Pump Control (o/n A24)
