Return to FAQ

How is ChromSword different from general modeling and prediction tools?

Modeling and prediction tools are useful for:

  • analyzing chromatographic data
  • predicting retention behavior
  • optimizing known systems

These tools typically require:

  • well-resolved peaks
  • reliable experimental input data
  • clearly defined systems

Their applicability becomes limited when:

  • peaks are overlapping
  • compounds are not fully identified
  • the system is not yet understood

ChromSword focuses on experimental method development, allowing it to:

  • work directly with unresolved chromatograms
  • improve separation through real experiments
  • adapt to complex and unknown samples

Unlike simulation tools that rely on initial data to predict peak behavior, ChromSword performs real experimental screening. It builds separations from scratch, successfully resolving complex, unknown, or overlapping mixtures.

DoE tools require a well-defined starting method and experimental space to study parameter influences. In contrast, ChromSword uses adaptive, real-time feedback to develop methods dynamically without predefined designs, making it ideal for complex, unknown separations.

Unlike limited, traditional HPLC tools (Simulation, DoE, Modeling) that require a pre-existing starting method, ChromSword provides full end-to-end automation and direct instrument control. It natively handles unresolved peaks, complex/unknown samples, and large molecule chemistry via dynamic, self-learning experimental optimization.
