                      Chromulan Project

             Chromatographic System For Everyone


The project offers free software for controlling of chromatographic devices
and subsequent evalutation of the acquired data. The set of the chromatographic
devices, which was developed by PiKRON company during the last 8 years,
communicates with the program using uLAN network protocol.

For incorporation of other devices (mainly detectors with analog output)
was developed two channel adaptor with 20-bit AD converters and TTL inputs
and outputs. Due to OpenSource nature of the project, it is possible to
create software modules (MS Windows DLLs) for communication with devices
of other manufacturers.

The project was initiated and is sponsored by the PiKRON company
(www.pikron.com), that deals with development of devices for liquid
chromatography, robotic and positioning systems, or infusion technique.
Up to now there have been manufactured more than 3000 devices communicating
with uLAN protocol, designed by the company.

Currently is the software beeing developed using Borland Delphi 
for WindowNT/2000. Extension to Linux, using Borland Kylix is expected.
The main developer and maintainer of the software CHROMuLAN is
Jindrich Jindrich (www.jindrich.com), assistant professor at the
Department of Organic Chemistry, Charles University, Prague
(orgchem.natur.cuni.cz).

HPLC devices are beeing manufactured and distributed by the device division
of INGOS company (www.ingos.cz). The currently available devices are
HPLC pumps LCP5020, LCP5021 and LCP5081, detectors UV and UV-VIS LCD5000,
UV254 LCD5200, column termostat LCT5100, autosampler LCS5040. Other product
distributed together with chemical know-how is aminoacid analyser AAA400.




         Project CHROMuLAN is really for everyone
