Abstract
Chromatography is a technique used to separate and quantify the components in a complex chemical mixture. We have created a 3D visualization system capable of comparing the chemical properties of chromatographic systems. The visualization system combines scatter plots, parallel coordinates, and specialized glyphs to assist in the analysis of chromatographic data and comparisons of multiple systems. Using this tool, numerous separation systems can be readily compared simultaneously - greatly facilitating the ability to select systems that are likely to produce desired separations during method development.
