FlowCAD Standard Edition

FlowCAD - the chromatography diagramming solution for the trainer, developer, chromatographer and instrument designer to create and visualize detailed, accurate and operational flow path diagrams. FlowCAD is used to:

  • Train users to understand chromatography systems, from injector to detector, and include column switching and other valving systems.

  • Design new instrumentation, such as GC natural gas analyzers, GC backflush, and HPLC valving systems.

  • Create business proposals, engineering designs, and educational examples.

FlowCAD Standard Edition is supplied with a comprehensive library of auto-connecting, intelligent elements for GC, IC, CE, and HPLC modules, plus detectors, injection valves, column switchers, solvent selectors and other valving systems.

These intelligent elements support the operational states appropriate to the systems, for instance an HPLC injection valve element supports the interconnections and states for "Valve Load" and "Valve Inject", and these are used to visualize the flow paths. The library of elements will be extended as new instrument modules and accessories appear, and FlowCAD OEM allows developers to create their own custom made elements for special systems.

Before you cut the first piece of tubing, FlowCAD allows you to simulate the system, saving time, reducing cost and your frustration. Continue to read more on how FlowCAD can make your analytical life easier!
