Chromatography Data Systems (CDS)
Services around the Chromatography Data System
Chromatography is an essential technique in every analytical and scientific laboratory. There is a broad range of techniques combined with a very large variety of detectors from a big selection of manufacturers on the market.
The need of today's analyst is to operate a single CDS software that can control all the chromatography instruments in one place, that is easy to use, and is integrated in the laboratory workflows.
Quality Assurance underlines a system that tracks every operation, ensures data integrity, allows the harmonization of reporting, validation of the results, and enables a digital approval process. And all this needs to comply to regulations and standards.
Nowadays, IT needs centralized, scalable, and stable software with the lowest possible maintenance and configuration effort. In addition, cost efficiency and also the shift to the cloud are driving factors.
The selection, implementation, configuration, validation, operation, update, maintenance, archiving or even decommissioning of a CDS must therefore, be carefully planned, executed and documented.
We support you with professional services for all your needs around your CDS on your way towards laboratory digitalisation.
wega is vendor-neutral and aspires to work with you to find the best product that fits your needs.
We have trained and experienced staff with knowledge of all the major software packages on the market.
As a result, we can offer you a complete service package for Waters® Empower™, Thermo Scientific™ Chromeleon™ or Agilent ® OpenLab CDS™.
