GC-SOS Gas Chromatography Simulation & Optimization Software
GC-SOS® is an innovative application for the simulation and optimization of Gas Chromatography separations, for method development and teaching of chromatography principles. GC-SOS is the 'Magic-Dust' tool for developing effective GC methods!
Why use GC simulation software?
- GC method development is a time consuming and challenging task. Even veteran chromatographers find it difficult to manually optimize a method. In fact, it's quite difficult to accurately guess how the complex interactions of temperature, pressure and column size impact a separation.
- Manual trial-and-error approaches often produce sub-optimal separations, ultimately leading to lower performance and higher costs. The use of simulation and numerical optimization is the most effective way to achieve significantly faster method development, improved separation performance and lower analysis costs.
Why use GC-SOS?
- GC-SOS is the most advanced, powerful, and easy to use GC simulation program available. First released in 1996, GC-SOS has been used globally by leading companies, universities, and government agencies, and garnered 'Best-Seller' status from a previous distributor. The program was completely upgraded and re-launched in 2017 exclusively via www.GC-SOS.com. Our newest version continues a tradition of innovation, with proprietary features including numerical optimization , flexible input , improved accuracy , and animation .
- A method can be optimized in less than an hour using GC-SOS. Simply enter run conditions and retention data from your training run(s), then simulate the effect of new conditions. Instantly evaluate the effect of different temperature &/or pressure programs, or different column sizes. Use the Auto-Optimization function to quickly determine an optimal method with improved peak resolution and lower run times.
- Optimized methods offer far greater separation performance, including improved resolution and lower run costs.
- Our 100% satisfaction guarantee insures there is no faster, easier, or more effective way to develop the most efficient GC methods.
Simple, intuitive design
Accurate simulations executed via a single click. A high resolution plot shows simulations as they would look on a real instrument. Instant analysis determines separation efficiency.
A remarkably effective way to optimize separations and demonstrate chromatography principles.
Example Application
This separation was optimized in just a few minutes, providing improved resolution and 50% reduction in run-time!
Initial separation:
Time = 36 minutes
Rez(min) = 4.7
Optimized separation:
Time = 18 minutes
Rez(min) = 5.0
net-
improved resolution in 1/2 the time!
