Sometimes referred to as a chromatography data system (CDS), a chromatography data management system (CDMS) is a set of dedicated data-collection tools that interface and/or integrate with a laboratory's chromatography equipment.
History of the CDMS
The first attempts to automate the analysis of chromatography data through electronics took place in the early 1970s. These analysis tools utilized microprocessor-based integrators, "dedicated devices for measuring chromatographic peaks and performing user-specified calculations" which also featured a printer plotter to output the results. [1] Limited memory plagued those early systems, preventing more than one chromatograph from being stored at any one time. This became less of problem for large labs with bigger budgets in the mid-70s, as expensive centralized data systems were installed, allowing greater data storage and sharing capabilities.[1]
As computers shrank in size, the personal computer became a viable reality. In 1980 entrepreneur and Hewlett-Packard prodigy Dave Nelson saw the potential the personal computer could have on the field of analytical chemistry, joining with partner Harmon Brown to create Nelson Analytical Inc. That year they developed the first CDMS personal computer software, soon followed by Turbochrom, the first CDMS system for MS Windows.[2][3]
