A general purpose computer analysis system for chromatographic data
Department of Microbiology, University of Cape Town Rondebosch, South Africa 7700
A manual integration system for the analysis of chromatographic data is described. The analog output produced by an HPLC absorbance monitor is passed to a non-inverting signal amplifier. This amplified signal is sent to an IBM PC where an analog to digital converter is used to digitize the data. A set of six computer programs which collect, store and analyze these data are presented. This system was used to analyze the nucleotide content of the anaerobic organism Clostridium aceto-butylicum by strong anion-exchange HPLC.
