Chromophant

Chromophant is an open-source software for controlling and acquiring data from HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) systems. It aims to provide a modern, flexible, and transparent alternative to proprietary HPLC control software.

Status

Chromophant is currently in an early development stage. Core components are under active construction.

Current Functionality

  • Live data buffering and visualization from connected detectors
  • Nearly complete device driver implementation for below listed development and testing setup (shimlccontroller)

Compatibility

Chromophant currently supports Shimadzu HPLC systems with a Shimadzu CBM-20A system controller.

Development and testing setup:

  • Shimadzu CBM-20A controller
  • 2 × LC-10A vp pumps
  • SPD-10A vp detector
  • SIL-10A autosampler

Planned Features

  • Full instrument control
  • Data visualization and export
  • Method and sequence management
  • Export to OpenChrom for data analysis

Building and Running

Instructions will be added once the build process stabilizes. For now, refer to the source tree and comments for development insights.
