OpenLab CDS
Streamline your lab operations with a single, secure data system that combines productivity, usability, and data integrity for fast, reliable results.
One of the bests
Software for analysis using chromatographic systems
The software is easy to use, relible and provides an excellent open access system. It takes some time to learn how to use it; however, it is one of the best software out there. The only downside is the analysis of chromatographic data not acquired using UV. For example, mass spectrometry data analysis is challenging

OpenLab CDS is a valuable chromatographic data system for Pharmaceutical QC lab.
Pharmaceutical quality control analysis
OpenLab CDS is a chromatographic data system that provides high degree of reliability in method development, calculation and results interpretation. Its "easy to use" interface and flexibility in a GMP environment are valuable. The sofware gives us the opportunity to meet the data integrity requirements with confidence, even in a method development purpose.

Highly recommended and useful software!
API manufacturing
A very reliable and highly recommended software to compy with all the data integrity requirements.
Review Date: 26 Oct 2020 | Agilent Technologies
Great function, colorful icons, fast processing and hassle-free printing.
Analyze APIs and vitamins
I like the way OpenLab CDS addresses our need for systematic processing, saving and printing our test results. Also, it has a great security feature where only authorized personnel are allowed to access it. We are also able to save time operating the instrument, e. g. during conditioning and washing of columns, where with our old model and brand of LC, we used to monitor the length of time needed for these procedures using a physical timer, but for OpenLab CDS, I'm just able to program a sequence and method where I can set specific times for each of the solvents for conditioning and washing, together the sequence for the analysis proper, just run it and it will automatically stop and be almost ready for printing! It's really amazing!

Transformational software for today’s chromatography labs
In this product brochure, explore how Agilent's OpenLab CDS software promises to transform chromatography lab operations by maximizing lab efficiency and minimizing cost.
Streamline laboratory operations with Sample Scheduler for OpenLab
Many organizations face the challenge of managing analytical requests across laboratories with multiple instruments. Manually scheduling samples may result in human errors, inefficiencies, and bottlenecks. Additionally, integrating the various types of instruments with a laboratory information management system (LIMS) can be complex and costly.
Explore Agilent Sample Scheduler for OpenLab, a solution for streamlining sample analysis and managing the analytical workload of a laboratory. Sample Scheduler can be added to an existing OpenLab Server installation with content management. With its multi-device function, lab managers, operators, and analysts can also assess instrument status and workload from a desktop or mobile device.
Eliminate errors with automation and stress-free sample tracking
In a typical laboratory, quality control mishaps are inevitable during sample preparation. For example, a sample going missing or a sample being miss-identified will result in downstream effects including the loss of significant time, money and samples. Therefore, advances in digitalization have been shown to reduce human error as manual input and transcription is eliminated from the process. Consequently, this lowers the likelihood of obstacles such as these, to improve data accuracy and process efficiency.
Join Dr. Kelsey Mato, Product Marketing at Agilent Technologies, to hear about a new technology, linking samples and software for unprecedented control, to give you confidence in your laboratory workflow.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand the long-term risks and costs of manual sample tracking
- Learn how taking steps toward digitalization can reduce errors in sample management
- Find a new solution for seamlessly linking samples and software
