See why Justice Laboratory Software is the choice of thousands of chemists worldwide. The ActiveX client/server based architecture expands *Chrom* Perfect®Spirit to much broader applications. With our provided VBA templates, users can easily add chromatography data handling functions to their favorite applications. For example, users can use the Active X controls *Chrom* Perfect®Spirit provides to browse chromatograms in Microsoft’s Excel, Word or Access and then directly read and import *Chrom* Perfect® native data files. Using our true ActiveX architecture, our users will not suffer from API wrapper type ActiveX architecture that limits how the underlying traditional API functions. The standard ActiveX interfaces make integration with other applications such as instrument control software, LIMS, and database seamless. The open architecture puts users' needs at top priority. We do not limit the functionality of the software to what we think users should have, we give users the freedom to choose what and how to use the data by exposing the components of our system. System Wide Security Totally integrated security. Users can be grouped to have common access privileges system wide. The system manager will find security management familiar to the way he may have implemented security to in the Windows NT’s user management. Every user in the system will have unique operation profiles. Directories, printers and screen layouts are user specific. The system manager has the freedom to choose what events should be logged for auditing purposes and whether to use central auditing log or station based auditing log. The integrated security will control the *Chrom* Perfect® ActiveX objects that the user embeds into other applications. GLP Features The system manager enables a watermark which digitally authenticates the reports printed through *Chrom* Perfect®. The watermark provides information about the computer and software that printed the report. It also embeds a serial number which uniquely labels the report and matches the auditing log on the computer so every printed report page is traceable. Since the serial number is contiguous, it provides an additional auditing parameter for printed reports. Every page of the report can be numbered, therefore, if a user is unsure that a page is missing or mixed, there will be a clue on the page. There is an indication on the reports for any manual integration that has contributed to the analysis results. This is on a report by report or peak by peak basis. Operation environment parameters are recorded in the raw file header, such as the computer operating system, time zone, data acquisition server name etc. This makes validation processes easier, and reduces the cost of tracing data origin and environments. To ensure the authenticity of the exported report and prevent it from editing, we also support exporting the report to a full page EMF. Every file has a check-sum and signature to guarantee the integrity of the files. Data files are never overwritten automatically. Thanks to long file names, we insert a duplication number inside a set of parenthesis after the base name and before the cycle number for easy recognition of duplicated file names without disturbing the sorting order most laboratories use. Data Acquisition REAL TIME INTEGRATION. Users can make decisions early in run which saves time, samples, and other resources. With a single click, the user can trigger the integration anytime during the run to check results or set a fixed time interval and let the software integrate automatically. A reference chromatogram as a background provides a quick visual clue on whether the current run is progressing as expected. Again, users can make decisions early and save time. Real time annotations provide a way for users to record comments in real time about run condition and other observations. This keeps notes close to the data. Real time labels show component expected elution times, search windows, and also help the user to verify the sample is running as expected. With integration turned on, the user can view the amount of each peak during data acquisition. Unlimited downloadable user fields provide a flexible way to record experimental conditions. These fields are saved with the raw data file and add key search criteria for database searches. The fields are user defined, and could be imported during the acquisition via ActiveX automation. Chromatogram information is only one right click away. Key information about any chromatogram is presented. Instruments are be "claimed" by users, once claimed, only users with sufficient privileges can control the instrument. Other users have the freedom to view the status and chromatograms remotely via DCOM. If the user decides to leave the program running while absent, control can be locked so no one except system managers can access the instrument. Via client/server technology, our data acquisition client uses virtual instruments to give users a common user interface for different instruments while our data acquisition server handles different hardware behind the scene. The client/server technology also provides a safe environment for busy networks. Once a sequence of data acquisition is downloaded to the server on the network, it can operate to the end of the sequence. Therefore any interruption such as the network being down or busy, or the client machine is down, the data is safely saved on the server until the communication is restored. Then the data files will be transferred to the destination computer. We provide more than 20 different parameters of the running sample view to the user. The user has the freedom to choose which information is presented on the screen. Data Analysis Users have the Freedom to choose how many of chromatograms are analyzed at a time. The limitation is the hardware resource. Chromatogram information is only one right click away. This provides key information about the analysis. Operation Assistants help users step by step in all interactive operations such as manual integration, annotation, calibration parameter adjustments, etc. Every chromatogram in the analysis program can be individually adjusted for plotting, integrating, reporting. Enhanced Meta File (EMF) provides publication quality chromatograms which work with ritually any modern desktop publishing system. Rapid Review allows users to randomly browse the chromatograms via a sequence or individual selections. The users have freedom to choose the item(s) to view quickly: the plot, standard report, or just single peak or component, or even customized calculations of peaks/components/runs. Now through advanced COM technology, many often used applications, such as Rapid Review and Batch processing, can be invoked from within several commonly used modules in the system. Users do not need to close applications to use other modules. Automation Mutli-threaded processing environment allows for heavy load processing jobs to work in the background while users still have the freedom to use *Chrom* Perfect® in the foreground to handle daily work. An unlimited number of user programs run at the end of analysis. During automatic processing not only the reports and plots are printed, Enhanced Meta Files for each chromatogram can be saved for use in other software products. Integrated File Editors There is only one file editor users need deal with for supporting files in *Chrom* Perfect®. One click, one choice, go. Superior Report There are more than 150 report variables and more than 40 predefined calculations at the users' disposal. Users can define formulas and variables for the calculations in the report. Users choose what data to show on the reports even in the Standard Reports that we provide, including user formulas, special tables, bitmaps, metafiles etc. Group and slice tables also support all the features that regular peak tables would report, plus all customized calculations *Chrom* Perfect® *ReportWrite Plus™* has supported. The system manager can choose a company wide report style. Besides using our built in report formatting and printing engine, we also included several ActiveX automation templates to help users to use their favorite word processor and spread sheet program to further customize the reports directly from *Chrom* Perfect®’s *ReportWrite* *Plus™* engine. Plot scales and units are fully customizable. ISO9001-3 Certified Justice Laboratory Software is an ISO 9001-3 certified company. Our software development, production and support are all under strict ISO procedures to provide our users with the highest quality of product and service.
