  • Publication number: 20240118250
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for monitoring column chromatography performance. The methods can include acquiring one or more chromatogram ultraviolet (UV) traces generated by a chromatography system during sample purification and/or separation; and analyzing the one or more acquired chromatogram UV traces with an orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) model, thereby allowing detection of column deterioration prior to column failure and quantitative analysis of UV signal in the one or more chromatogram UV traces.

  • Patent number: 10782441
    Abstract: An X-ray inspection system includes at least one display monitor and a console. The console includes at least two different visualization algorithms and a processor. The processor is configured to process volumetric image data with a first of the at least two different visualization algorithms and produce a first processed volumetric image. The processor is further configured to process the volumetric image data with a second of the at least two different visualization algorithms and produce a second processed volumetric image. The processor is further configured to concurrently display the first and second processed volumetric image data via the display monitor. The volumetric image data is indicative of a scanned object and items therein.
