Abstract: Disclosed herein are scientific instrument support systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a scientific instrument support apparatus includes a first logic to obtain chromatographic data sets from a chromatographic system; a second logic to perform a first analysis of the one or more chromatographic data sets to generate a first result perform a second analysis of the one or more chromatographic data sets to generate a second result; and a third logic to identify differences between the first result and the second result; provide a user interface configured to indicate the data sets where the second result differs from the first result; and display one or more chromatograms representative of the indicated data sets and visually identifying features on the chromatograms where the differences occur.

Abstract: A system for self-directed computer system validation includes first logic to provide a graphical user interface to enable a user to select a set of selected requirements from a plurality of available requirements; second logic to select a set of procedures to satisfy the need to test against each of the requirements and document evidence of the outcomes and generate a set of documents for installing and configuring the system and test protocols including all methods and objects needed to validate the system; and third logic to provide the set of documents for installing and configuring the system and test protocols including all methods and objects needed to validate the system.

Abstract: A turbocharged device including a turbocharger, a first sensor in operable communication with the turbocharger and configured to output a first signal representative of a first attribute of the turbocharger, and a controller in operable communication with the first sensor. Where the controller is configured to calculate a first preliminary surge score based at least in part on the first signal, and calculate a first weighted surge score based at least in part on the first preliminary surge score and a first weighting factor configured to express the relative significance of the first preliminary surge score.
