Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ 7.3.2 Chromatography Data System (CDS) by Thermo Fisher Scientific

"Easy to use and cost effective product. Providing a very awesome set of tools."

"Easy to use as it's similar to Excel. Increases efficiency."

"Chromeleon 7.2 software is really user friendly and easy to use. My favorite feature of the software is definitely the Integration section. It's super easy to create a processing method and the integration parameters are easy to set up."

"The first CDS to unify the workflows for chromatography and routine quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, Chromeleon software provides full integration of Thermo Scientific gas chromatography (GC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS) instruments. Run your analyses in an enterprise environment—from method creation to final reporting."

"Well it's a good software along with online calculation and user friendly also,"

"Great product. More benefits over other leading CDS packages."

"Chromeleon 7.2 (CM7) is a highly intuitive software, especially for users with experience with recent MS Office products, as the user interface bears similarities to MS Office products (e.g. navigation pane, contextual menus, ribbon). Our analysts found the transition to CM7 to be very smooth and find it quick and easy to build sequences, equilibrate instruments, run sequences, and print and process data. The only complaint that we have encountered from our analysts is in regards to the ICF driver which is a product of Agilent, not Thermo; our analysts preferred the Dionex HPLC drivers and control panels in CM6 because the analysts could control the instruments from the panel without having to access the "Method" menu. In addition to being user-friendly, CM7 is very reliable. The XVault allows for access to the real time data even if our network is down. In the few instances where we have had an issue that required troubleshooting, the post-sale support has been fantastic. We have always received a timely response with follow-up phone calls and/or emails until the issue is resolved. CM7 is also versatile in its ability to control and collect data from the multiple makes and models of chromatography instruments we utilize in our lab. I would highly recommend CM7 to another laboratory."

"At our lab, we decided to convert our HPLC software to Chromeleon because we wanted a system that was FDA compliant, easy to use and would provide reproducible results. We were also looking for data trending capability as well as automated runs. After evaluating Empower and Chromeleon, our lab decided to go with Chromeleon because it was cheaper and the personnel were more friendly. I personally designed the report while working with a consultant from Thermo Scientific. She was very prompt and understanding of our needs. Since we were going to use these reports in QC environment, we needed to add Specifications and Pass/Fail criteria. After months of collaboratively working, we now have successfully working automated reports. We even validated every single calculation and formula. We can make trending graphs of Column performance, lot to lot variability, analyst variability, mobile phase performance and I can go on and on...We have been using the HPLC along with Chromeleon after the validation for over a year now and we have no problems. One more thing, we just started using SMART STARTUP, boy is that a lifesaver. We no longer need to manually clean, condition the columns. The sequences are automatically set up and all we need to do is click. There is a lot of up front work involved but once you do it, it's worth it. In the beginning it does that the software is not user friendly but with enough practice, it is a very powerful tool and one gets used to it. Our lab has no issues."

"Most powerful software available for regulated environment. The use of eWorkflows eliminate errors related to creating instrument/processing method every sequences. Very powerful report tools (excel like) allow the creation of the fanciest report you would want. I was sold to Empower before but now would never go back. Works probably better in QC regulated environment than R&D. After sale support is amazing. Software is user friendly and intuitive. "

"Chromeleon is by far the most confusing, convoluted and difficult to use software for chromatography that I have ever used. The inability to generate and save a method independently of a sequence is annoying and getting each sequence to run once set up is proving hugely frustrating. How did simple and effective chromatography software evolve into something this horrendous?"

"Very user friendly, easy to use and follow great software to use with chromatography"

"I get good, accurate and reproducible results. I was especially impressed with the help and training that I received during and shortly after the installation."

"We have been acquiring highly reproducible results. However, the software is not too user- friendly."

"I'm using this software for HPLC and GC; it still has bugs, especially on the GC side. Learning curve is still quite steep when compared with Analyst and even Excalibur. The CDS is not very smooth either. Maybe it should be sold bundled with some webex coursework"

"Nice software tool, easy to handle. Really good to operate the HPLC/UPLC systems and as well really good to evaluate the results "

"The software is great for what we do with it. I find it a little confusing, but I chose not to take much training for it. With only 2 hours of webinar training I am able to do everything I need to do. The software will do much more that what I need."

"I achieve high quality and reproducible results. The data system software is easy to use because it is intuitive. "

"The Chromeleon CDS is an easy to use software package that we use with six different brands of GC's, LC's, and IC's and detectors. The versatility allows us to limit the number of different software packages that are needed for all of our analysis improving analyst efficiency. Chromeleon unfortunately does not work with all instruments / detectors. Chromeleon has been a stable software package for us and any issues that we have had have been promptly addressed but the service team. Overall I have been very happy with the Chromeleon CDS. "

"Easy to use. able to transfer from 6.8 to 7.2 with no major issues. Great software "

"Easy to use for new employees, powerful software, great network solution, very good control of the hardware and many functions for the analyst."

"The chromeleon Software helps me to analyze our coal. It is easy to handle the data especially if I must reintegrate the chromatogram. "

"Yes, so far it's a great and easy to use software, I like the help and the details explanation of every items in the software"

"Needed help to set up analysis method for quantification, but very user friendly and intuitive once the methods are set up. "

"The Dionex Chromeleon Chromatography Data system is very easy to learn and apply to both research and method development tasks as well as routine chromatographic applications for HPLC and IC. We have used it for years and the Analysts who work with me and use it daily like it. "
