WinGPC UniChrom Software
WinGPC UniChrom is more than just a GPC/SEC software: it is a modular macromolecular chromatography data system to fully implement GPC/SEC, Polymer-HPLC, LACCC and 2D chromatography within the laboratory. It's market wide compatibility allows to capitalize on previous investments: one software solution to integrate all resources and to streamline laboratory processes.
WinGPC UniChrom has been developed by experts for efficient, precise and fast analysis of macromolecules, biopolymers, proteins and complex polymer products providing unique features and tools.
Connectivity and general information:
WinGPC configuration and versions
WinGPC is available as stand-alone/network and as Client/Server version. The difference of the two versions is the instrument management and the accessibility. Functionality, features, data acquisition hardware, and software modules are the same for both versions.
The stand-alone/network solution can be the basis for a Client/Server solution. No modification of hardware installation is required for the upgrade. The WinGPC user interface is the same for both solutions, so that training after the upgrade is limited.
Supported detectors and instruments
System/Detector control via WinGPC ChromPilot is available for:
- PSS SECcurity GPC System
- PSS BioSECcurity SEC System
- EcoSEC GPC System
- HP/Agilent 1100/1200/1260/1290 System
- Agilent 1120/1220
- Shimadzu Nexera, Prominence, LC-8/10/20A
- Dionex UHPLC+ Focused, UltiMate 3000
- Shodex RI 100/200
- Waters Alliance
- Wyatt DAWN DSP, DAWN EOS, Mini-Dawn
In addition WinGPC's flexible and robust data acquisition hardware allows the vendor independent connection to any LC instrument with analog outs: RI (refractive index), UV-VIS/DAD, Conductivity, ELSD (evaporating light scattering detector), on-line light scattering detectors, on-line viscometer.
Stand-alone/network installation
The stand-alone/network solution can be installed on any PC with Windows Operating System, either on a local or a network drive. Data acquisition can be done locally or network wide via LAN. Instrument control with the ChrommPilot is available locally or network wide via LAN. Up to four independent GPC/SEC systems can be controlled with one WinGPC license.
Client/Server installation
The Client/Server solution is designed for laboratories that require a variety of instruments to be accessible to many users simultaneously. The “data follow people” principle allows to control and review runs and data from any location anywhere.
The NetConnect software manages all chromatography systems within the department or even company wide, via the network. Authorized users may reserve the requested instruments before starting tests. While the data acquisition is activated, the run can be controlled, modified or processed from every network client. The built in access control guarantees measurements free of interference from other users.
PSS’ products are known for their quality, performance, and reliability, giving many years of useful service. For highest security with respect to new Operating Systems (OS) and best compatibility with new PC hardware, PSS recommends to update to the current version (PSS WinGPC UniChrom 8.2 SP1, Build number: 5350)
