Empower™ 3 Software

Chromatography Workstation and Data Processing System

If only HPLC and GC systems in the laboratory could be controlled
with a single software program.

Is this the problem you face?

Empower offers the optimal system architecture and operating
environment for laboratories with analytical instruments from
multiple vendors. It provides strong support for many aspects of the
analysis process, everything from the analysis of samples to data
analysis, results reporting and output, system management to
comply with a variety of regulations, and data management with
powerful search capabilities utilizing a relational database.
This is the Empower advantage.
