Chronos by Axel Semrau GmbH & Co. KG

CHRONOS software organizes parallel processes for sample preparation. This utilizes the analysis system to a much greater extent, while observing the time margins of each individual sample preparation. To this is added further strengths of the software: a user-friendly interface minimizes the number of parameters which need to be changed depending on context. A graphic representation of the sample processing is created at the touch of a button, which means that overall duration and current progress can be followed in real time.
