Abstract: A chromatography system includes a chromatogram modeling device for synthesizing a modeled reference chromatogram, and an evaluation device for evaluating operation conditions of a chromatography device based on the modeled reference chromatogram.

Abstract: In a method of allocating a plurality of functional tasks to a plurality of functional devices each capable of carrying out one or more of the functional tasks, the functional devices are analytical devices and each of the functional tasks corresponds to a respective predefined process related to analyzing a respective sample by a respective one of the functional devices. The functional tasks are allocated to the functional devices based on a criterion to achieve compliance with at least one predefined control target of controlling the functional devices.
