visionCATS 2.0 – next generation software for qualitative and quantitative HPTLC analysis  

visionCATS is the easy to use and intuitive software tool for HPTLC analysis. The software puts the user in complete control of the entire HPTLC process and guides through all process steps - from analysis definition to analysis reporting.

As state-of-the-art software, visionCATS is based on a client-server system offering enormous flexibility to the number of instruments and users that are working together and enabling access to the same data for all members of a work group. The heart of the software is a powerful database, allowing the retrieval of all data associated with each individual sample based on the sample ID while samples are still analyzed in the context of a plate. Thanks to the architecture, a sample-oriented approach is achieved that makes locating relevant samples easier and faster than ever before.

Together with the TLC Visualizer visionCATS supports low noise, high dynamic range images and includes a comprehensive set of image enhancement tools. Sophisticated algorithms ensure best image quality for identification of even the weakest zones. The spectacular image comparison viewer allows for comparison of tracks originating from different plates and different detection modes on the same screen side by side. Samples can be rearranged and compared to reference substances or samples, independent of their plate origin.

When connected with the TLC Scanner visionCATS allows for quantitative evaluation of each individual substance on a plate. For the determination of substance concentration in a sample, five different quantification functions are available. Several scanning steps and up to five evaluations can be performed in multiple plate states. Each scanning step may contain a single wavelength scan, a scan at multiple wavelengths with up to 31 selected wavelengths or a combination of measurements in absorption and fluorescence detection mode.

For analysts using HPTLC for identification of plants visionCATS offers break through support with a Method Library for seamless import of validated methods and images of standards and botanical reference materials. Licensed users can download library files and import them into their own database free of charge.

visionCATS 2.0 supports compliance with the FDA's 21 CFR part 11 and cGMP requirements.
