ACD/Column Selector *

Evaluate Chromatographic Columns Scientifically

* Column Selector for ACD/ChemSketch Updated: June 2006!

In collaboration with Mel Euerby and Patrik Petersson of AstraZeneca, Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) has created a freeware column selection tool for Palm® OS-based PDAs and Microsoft® Windows. This tool lets the chromatographer search a knowledge base of the most utilized columns in order to locate the ones that have the properties best suited to the separation at hand. Column Selector has 187 characterized columns in its database, the result of over 3000 systematic experiments.1

Don't have a referenced column on hand? Column Selector can help you to find the most equivalent ones. Need a column that is different from yours in a particular way? Column Selector can help with this as well. With this simple tool, you can take the guesswork out of column selection.
