  • Patent number: 6456955
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automating the qualification process for chromatographic systems. Automation technology and regression analysis are used for qualifying a chromatography system. The trained operator prepares the chromatography system to ensure that the samples, solvents, and the separation column are ready for analysis. The qualification of the detector, the solvent delivery system, the sample manager, the gradient proportioning system, the column heater, and the delay volume of the chromatography system are completed without the necessity of operator intervention. Regression analysis is performed to compute performance statistics that demonstrate the accuracy, linearity, and precision of the chromatographic system and quantify its suitability for chromatographic analysis.
