Chromperfect file compatibility - Raw Data Files

• Open all historical RAW and BOUND files directly in Version 10.

• No conversion or reprocessing required.

• Original peak integrations, baselines, and settings remain intact.

Operational Files

• Methods, calibrations, sequences, and report formats load normally in Version 10.

Important Note – One-Way Compatibility
