Chromatography software is a specialized software designed to streamline the analysis and interpretation of data derived from chromatography techniques, a laboratory method utilized for separating, identifying, and quantifying components within a mixture. These techniques are crucial for dissecting and analyzing complex mixtures into their individual constituents.

The primary classifications of chromatography software include standalone and integrated variants. Standalone software represents a self-sufficient application requiring no additional software or connectivity for operation. It is available in web-based, on-premises, and cloud-based deployment options, offered in various versions including standard and customized editions. This software finds applications across diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, forensic analysis, and the food and beverage industry.
