Class VP 7

CLASS-VP Client/Server is a 32-bit comprehensive product that addresses the needs of the networked laboratory by utilizing the power and security of Microsoft Windows® NT/2000/XP.

Comprehensive validation and productivity for enterprise environments.

This latest version of the popular CLASS-VP Chromatography Software provides complete data acquisition, instrument control, analysis, and reporting and is validated to run in Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 Professional. System administrators can completely customize access to instruments and projects, including password protection and assignments of functional levels for each user. This enables the laboratory to run more efficiently; each user only has access to the data system functions required to perform his or her job. Each VPServer, running Microsoft Windows NT, is preconfigured and contains A/D hardware required for data acquisition, RS-232, or SCSI I/F required for multiple instrument control and digital data acquisition. All aspects of data acquisition and data storage are performed by the VPServers connected to the network.

Features

Ease of Operation

The ease of use of a chromatography data system is integral to its efficency in getting results. CLASS-VP´s state-of-the-art design enables new users to quickly master the setup of even complicated data acquisition methods. Access to all acquisition, integration, reporting, calibration, and sequence information is located in a single application window. Integrate your peaks instantly with real-time analysis available throughout your chromatography runs.

Breeze through your method development with superior graphical integration tools. Chromatogram overlays and on-screen graphical integration programming provide an innovative, visual approach to data analysis. Manual integration tools such as "manual baseline" provide added flexibility.

Confident Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11
CLASS-VP Client/Server includes a comprehensive method audit trail that tracks information such as date of change, user, new value, previous value, and reason for the change. The method audit trail can be viewed on the screen, or printed for storage with laboratory documents. Additionally, the data audit trail tracks activities using the stored data file. It includes time, user analysis (such as new analysis), and the reason. The data audit trail can be displayed on-screen or printed for storage with laboratory records.

To aid in maintaining system integrity, CLASS-VP Client/Server provides a Software Modulation Validation program, which performs a validation of the content and version for all components of the software running on the network.

CLASS-VP Client/Server fully complies with 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Signature requirements. In addition to the display of electronic signatures on the report, the display of electronic signatures on the report, the signature information (Who, When, and Why) is stored within the data file with a CRC checksum to prevent tampering with the signature record.

Advanced Control for Gas Chromatography

Shimadzu CLASS-VP Client/Server is also a stellar performer when used in conjunction with Shimadzu GCs. The CLASS-VP GC control package provides automated graphical control over both the GC and its autosampler, including complete random sample access. The software automatically calculates acceptable values in method development, and automatically rejects invalid parameters.

All GC events such as split ratio reduction, detector signal zeroing, external valve control and others for carrier gas conservation are supported. Intuitive operations are ensured for all Shimadzu GC Automatic Injection Systems, including dual tower. These autosamplers utilize our intelligent batch funcationality to control the autosampler in a decision-making process.

Powerful PDA Detection

CLASS-VP Client/Server offers comprehensive control of the powerful Shimadzu SPD-M20Avp, Photodiode Array (PDA) detector with high sensitivity and high spectral resolution. Simultaneous qualitative/quantitative calculation by multi-channel peak tables, structure elucidation, library searching, component identification, and total purity assessment provides even further validation and productivity enhancement.
