By making Astra V compatible with Waters Empower chromatography data software system, it is now possible to acquire data using either system and control a variety of instruments including HPLC and light scattering technologies in FDA regulated industries.
The Astra V compatibility with Waters Empower software is another step towards making Wyatt software system vendor-independent and fully interoperable with a range of chromatography systems and software.
This offers users of other software packages the full collection and analysis capabilities of the Astra system.
Astra V boasts the scientific foundation and depth of features that no other package can match.
It can be used for both on-line HPLC measurements as well as off-line batch measurements.
The software has the ability to create sophisticated differential distributions for analysis of data and is also capable of correcting the deleterious effects of interdetector band broadening.
Astra V also supports the following applications:.
Data collection and analysis for absolute molecular weight and size determination from the Dawn EOS and miniDawn Tristar MALS instruments.
QELS data collection and analysis from the WyattQELS (Quasi Elastic Light Scattering) instrument.
Concentration measurements from the Optilab rEX and other refractometers.
Determination of intrinsic viscosity from the Wyatt ViscoStar, differential viscometer.
The Astra V builds on the success of the Astra series and includes networked instrument communication, database storage and powerful new collection paradigms such as completely configurable sample sets and support for high throughput experiments.
New analysis capabilities such as proprietary band broadening corrections, absolute number density determinations, and global fitting for online and batch Zimm plots unlock insights into sample data that have never been seen before.
With over 35 years' experience in developing sophisticated laboratory instrumentation, Wyatt Technology has established a reputation as the leader in delivering innovative products to the biotechnology, chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Wyatt continues to build on this lead with the compatibility of the pioneering Astra V with Waters Empower Software, breaking new ground with its data analysis capabilities.
