How Software Can Aid Decision-Making in Chromatographic Method Development.

Traditional trial and error experimentation is still often used in many analytical laboratories for method development, and while chromatographers will rely on their experience and intuition to select a starting point for method development, this approach is not reliably the most effective or efficient. Whereas in the case of simple samples the educated trial and error approach might be a reasonable strategy, it is increasingly less effective as the system becomes more complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
