When laboratories start looking into compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 , one of the first questions they ask is whether Chromperfect meets the requirements for electronic records and audit trails. This video explains how Chromperfect supports compliance and compares the two main configurations — the standard file-based system  and the Database Edition . The Database Edition adds enhanced security for regulated environments, storing all chromatographic data, methods, and audit tr

A step-by-step guide to upgrading to Chromperfect Version 10, covering license checks, hardware requirements, compliance planning, and validation to ensure a smooth transition.

Chromperfect Version 10 sets a new standard for chromatography data systems. Built for the future, it expands instrument compatibility, adds native HTA GC autosampler support, and introduces built-in CFR 21 Part 11 compliance. With optimized Windows 11 performance and automation tools, it delivers secure, compliant, and connected workflows for modern and legacy lab setups alike.

Find the official, up-to-date Chromperfect system specifications in one authoritative location. This guide explains where to access the current requirements and why they are maintained in a single version-controlled document.

Step-by-step guide to uploading a setpoint file in Chromperfect for all digital instruments, including native drivers and ICF systems, with clarification of the HP 5890 exception.

Clear explanation of the difference between ICF XML configuration files and MIC setpoint files in Chromperfect, including setup vs operational roles and how each file type functions within an ICF-controlled instrument.

Choosing a chromatography data system isn’t about finding the “best” product. This article outlines a practical, vendor-neutral framework to help laboratories evaluate CDS options based on workflow fit, data longevity, IT realities, and long-term support.

Choosing a chromatography data system for GC involves more than basic acquisition. This article explains which CDS capabilities matter most for GC labs, including instrument compatibility, driver frameworks, data longevity, regulatory considerations, and long-term system stability.

Laboratories using Agilent OpenLab or ChemStation for gas chromatography often reassess their CDS as costs, software lifecycles, and system complexity increase. This article outlines practical GC-only alternatives, explains the differences between vendor and independent CDS platforms, and clarifies when replacing a vendor system makes sense—and when it does not—so labs can make informed, long-term decisions.
