HIGHLIGHTS OF APPS FOR SEPARATION SCIENCE
APP NAME: LC/GC Checker
OFFERED BY: David Baumgartner
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.3.3 and up); iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 6.0 or later; optimized for iPhone 5)
WHAT IT DOES: The LC/GC Checker app is designed to provide four approaches to check an LC or GC instrument's performance. According to the company, it calculates the LC pump flow rate by stop watching the time of the eluent level in a volumetric flask, calculates the GC carrier gas flow based on the column dimension and retention time of a non-retained compound, and assists in measuring flow and temperature accuracy and precision. The app's IP Checker function calculates the injection precision of retention times, peak heights, or areas for repeated analyses.
