Services Around the Chromatography Data System (CDS) 

Chromatography is an essential technique in every analytical and scientific laboratory. There is a broad range of techniques combined with a very large variety of detectors from a big selection of manufacturers on the market.

The need of today's analyst is to operate an easy-to-use CDS that offers a centralized control, reaching all the chromatography instruments and is integrated in the laboratory workflows.

Quality Assurance underlines a system that tracks every operation, ensures data integrity, allows the harmonization of reporting, validation of the results, and enables a digital approval process. And all of those need to comply with regulatory guidelines and market standards.

Nowadays, IT needs centralized, scalable, and stable software with low maintenance and configuration effort. In addition, cost efficiency and the shift to cloud-based solutions are a driving factors.

The selection, implementation, configuration, validation, operation, update, maintenance, archiving or even decommissioning of a CDS must therefore, be carefully planned, executed and documented.

We support you with professional services for all your needs around your CDS on your journey towards laboratory digitalization.

wega is vendor-neutral and aspires to work in collaboration to find the best fitting product for your needs.

We have trained and experienced staff with deep knowledge of all the major CDS software packages.
