UniChrom file formats

UniChrom CDS supports several chromatography file formats. Most important of them are readable and writeable, the others are only readable, to alow our customers data migration from different file formats.

The UniChrom API allows custom file format support. Samples of file converters are included in UniChrom DDK

UniChrom Workbook (*.uwb, *.uwz, *.uwx)

Native UniChrom file format. Conatins the following sections: Raw Data, Peak Tables, Calibration Tables, Instrument Method, GLP Logs, Properties, Data processing scenarios, Sequence lists, Supplemental information. Actually the file is the Borland Object storage(stream of objects).
UWB - UniChrom workbook.
UWZ - UniChrom workbook zipped
UWX - UniChrom workbook expanded (textual representaion).

ANDI Chromatography (NetCDF) (*.cdf, *.nc)

Read, Write supported.
Standard data representation for Inter-Vendor data exchange. Supported by most major CDS Vendors. The format contains the following sections: single experiment data, peaks table.

HP / Agilent ChemStation data file (*.ch, *.ms, *.uv)

Read only format. Chromatographic signal from Agilent / HP ChemStation. Each run, each detector - one separate file. Contains raw instrument data and dataset information. The method information and integration prameters are in separate files (which are unsupported).
Versions supported:
2 - GC/MS Data
30 - ADC Data, LC Data
31 - UV Spectrum data
8, 81 - GC Data (A.xx Chemstation)
179 - GC Data (B.03 Chemstation)

Shimadzu GC Solution Data File (*.gcd)

Read only format.
Native Shimadzu GC-Solution data file. UniChrom supports only import of raw experimental data from all detectors. Each detector is imported as separate chromatogram layer.

Shimadzu CLASS-VP (EzChrom) HPLC files (*.r01; *.spc)

Read-only format of old EzChrom HPLC files. Now UniChrom reads multiwavelength chromatograms from CLASS LC-10 DAD detector.

(*.r01....*.r??) files - are multifavelength chromatograms. (*.spc) files - spectrum files.

EnviroChrom (*.chr)

Read Only format. Data files of instrument control system for microcolumn HPLC system MiliChrom-A02, also known as E-Chrom, M-Chrom or IntelliChrom.
Import of analytical signals of all wavelengths is taken (8).
