ChromWorks: functionalities of the chromatographic simulator

Parameters Estimation

Chromworks™ helps you make the best use of your experimental data to design, secure, and optimize purification processes.
You can then fine-tune all your process parameters, get performance, analyze the influence of dead volumes, etc.

Single column systems

Simply define whether you work in isocratic or in gradient mode, whether you perform simple injections or run complex multi-step sequencing.

You will then have the possibility to simulate the influence of the different process parameters on your chromatogram.

Multi-Column Chromatography

Get your design space (the so-called ‘triangle’) in one click. In a second click you simulate a TMB, an SMB or other MCC setups!

Beside the conventional SMB, many commercial MCC set-ups are pre-configured based on publicly available information. This makes comparison between commercial options straightforward.

Short-cut tools for quick process design

Designing a chromatographic process has never been so easy! Whether it comes to designing a single-column process, an SMB (and alike) or a capture process (including continuous multi-column processes), obtain your design in a click.

Simply state your specifications and let ChromWorks do the rest. The process designer tools are based on powerful algorithms that help you find the sweet spot leading to efficient and smart processes.

We support your creativity

We appreciate that your problem may be different and that you have your own ideas. This is the reason why Chromworks gives you the opportunity to define your own process, with custom-made configurations.

With the user defined module, you connect columns in series or in parallel, you close the loop or open it, you perform isocratic or gradient elution ...

Enjoy the toolbox

If you would like to:

Extract adsorption or mass transfer data from breakthrough curves
Use information gathered in a stirred tank reactor
Estimate from scratch a system allowing to deliver the purity or yield which you target
Estimate the impact of dead volumes
Generate automatic calculation for investigating robustness or preparing your presentations

Then, you will love the toolbox!

Typical examples of use

Select the best equipment for your separation
Create a recipe and optimize a purification process
Troubleshooting
Train your team on chromatography
