Column Selection Tool
The ACD/Column Selector is a freeware column selection tool for Palm OS-based PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) that helps chromatographers select the optimal column to use, taking the uncertainty out of column selection. This tool enables the chromatographer to search a knowledge base of 135 characterized columns in order to locate the ones that have the properties best suited to the separation at hand. Since each parameter can be targeted individually, chromatographers can also search for columns that have high coefficients for a certain term, allowing them to change their columns to target a given structural aspect. The software can be adapted to run on a PC. Free downloads are available from the company’s Website.
