WHAT:

The EZChrom Elite™ driver system is a unified computing strategy engineered by PerkinElmer® that seamlessly integrates with their high performance liquid and gas chromatography instruments. Designed to provide a uniform user interface for analytical laboratories, this new capability can perform instrument control and data collection, data analysis and centralized reporting from a variety of instruments, now including the Flexar™ LC and Clarus® GC systems.

WHY: Agilent’s® EZChrom Elite™ is one of the most widely deployed chromatography data systems (CDS) in the industry. Now that PerkinElmer has developed compatibility with this system, users have more flexibility, choice and access to high quality, reliable hardware with one consistent operating system.
APPLICATIONS:Environmental contaminant testing:

  • Soil
  • Water

Purity analysis:

  • Food quality and safety
  • Pharmaceutical production


WHAT IT DOES:This chromatography data system (CDS) performs two noteworthy operations:

Specific ‘drivers’ work with the software to allow for instrument control.

  • Example: A lab user can operate the detector in a GC or LC instrument using the EZChrom program instead of directly controlling the instrument.
  • EZChrom Elite™ monitors feedback from components in PerkinElmer Flexar or Clarus hardware, such as data from the detector or feedback on how much pressure is in the pump.


    THE BENEFITS:Ease of one system – The EZChrom drivers seamlessly integrate with PerkinElmer Flexar and Clarus chromatography systems, giving users more flexibility and choice of hardware with a unified software platform.

    A consistent and reliable workflow - Operators can avoid unnecessary training on new CDS if they transfer between labs. EZChrom drivers can eliminate this type of interruption to workflow.

    Better data management - For Clarus GC users in regulated and non-regulated labs, the EZChrom driver helps streamline workflows and simplifies the management of large volumes of data.

    COMPATABILITY: PerkinElmer Chromatography Instruments are compatible with:
    Software Solutions
    Agilent® EZChrom Elite™ (LC, GC)
    Waters ®Empower (GC)
    TotalChrom® (LC,GC)
    Chromera® (LC)

    Clarus 680 GC

    PerkinElmer

    The Clarus® 680 GC is designed for fast-paced, high-volume laboratories that require fast analytical cycle times. It maximizes throughput with the fastest injection-to-injection time of any conventional gas chromatograph. The Clarus 680 GC incorporates many other PerkinElmer innovations that provide unprecedented operational simplicity and outstanding flexibility while removing the barriers to productivity that can arise with more demanding samples and applications. The fastest temperature programmable inlets available combined with programmable pneumatic control (PPC) provides simple and straightforward solutions to complex analyses such as analysis for methanol in crude oil or determination of pesticides in food. Its near-ambient performances make the Clarus 680 GC the instrument of choice for the separation of light volatile components or when Large Volume Injection is required to run high-sensitivity GC/MS applications. Complete instrument control is available through TotalChrom and TurboMass as well as Waters® Empower™ 2 and Agilent® EZChrom Elite™ drivers. Features/Benefits Patented high-performance oven - the unique oven design of the Clarus 680 GC provides the fastest available heat-up and cool-down rate, enabling shorter injection-to-injection and analytical cycle times, maximizing your sample throughput and achieve maximum return on your investment •  Its twin-walled oven design with concentric air exhaust* allows the user to achieve greater separation at near-ambient temperatures without the use of special coolants, especially important for the analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). •  Fast oven heat-up allows faster chromatography, particularly useful when speeding up the elution of late eluting compounds. •  Fastest available cool-down rate is delivered using forced convection air. This greatly reduces non-productive time between runs. •  Universal Programmable Split-Splitless (PSS) and Programmable On-Column (POC) injectors design enables Large Volume Injection of volatile solvents and cold on-column injections without the use of expensive cooling agents •  Novel Swafer™ micro-flow technology dramatically simplifies complex tasks helping to make the Clarus 680 GC easily used by operators at all skill levels •  Complete instrument control is available through TotalChrom™, TurboMass™ as well as Waters® Empower™ 2 and Agilent® EZChrom Elite™ drivers.
