For many scientists and lab managers, the real bottleneck isn’t the instrument—it’s the manual, time-consuming steps required to keep workflows moving and data processing on track. That’s where Thermo Scientific Chromeleon software comes in.</p><h3><strong>Why GC-MS workflows can be a headache</strong></h3><p>Even with state-of-the-art hardware, GC-MS workflows demand attention. Routine maintenance—like column trimming, source cleaning, and inlet checks—must be tracked and managed. Meanwhile, retention time shifts can throw off compound detection, forcing analysts to manually correct and realign data.</p><p>And when it comes to data review, it’s easy to lose hours scrolling through chromatograms to check integrations and flag anomalies. It slows down decision-making and is tedious and can be prone to error.</p><h3><strong>Chromeleon software: Smarter software for GC-MS success</strong></h3><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/products/76"><strong>Chromeleon software</strong></a> enhances and brings effortless usability to your GC-MS system by bringing efficiency, automation, and visibility into your operations. Here’s how:</p><h4><strong>✅ Retention time alignment</strong></h4><p>Automatically correct retention times across compounds with built-in tools. Save time and ensure consistent compound detection.</p><h4><strong>🛠 Integrated system suitability tests</strong></h4><p>Proactively monitor instrument performance by building automated system suitability checks directly into your sequences, enabling you to catch issues before they impact data quality.</p><h4><strong>🧠 SmartStatus intelligent software &nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Built into Thermo Scientific Chromeleon CDS, SmartStatus gives you a full view of your GC-MS system’s health. Track consumable usage, get alerts when maintenance is due, and monitor performance trends. &nbsp;</p><h4><strong>👁 Custom view settings</strong></h4><p>Streamline data review with tailored layouts that highlight exactly what you care about—whether that’s retention times, quantitation accuracy, or quality checks.</p><h4><strong>🚩 Automatic result flagging</strong></h4><p>Build in rules to flag integration errors, missing peaks, or results that fall outside of defined criteria. Zone in on issues fast—without inspecting every injection.</p><h4><strong>📄 Consistent, audit-ready reporting</strong></h4><p>Generate standardized reports with just a click—complete with full traceability. No need to carry out calculations outside of the software.</p><h3><strong>The bottom line</strong></h3><p>Your Thermo Scientific GC-MS system is built for high performance. <strong>Chromeleon software</strong> helps you <i>run it smarter</i>—by catching issues early, simplifying data review, and reducing the manual work that slows you down.</p><p><i>“Faster evaluation of data with Chromeleon on the TSQ 9610 generates a higher sample throughput with a time saving of 10% to 20% per sample run.”</i><br><i><strong>– Eurofins SOFIA GmbH</strong></i></p><p>From instrument control to streamlined data review and compliance-ready reporting, <strong>Chromeleon software </strong>helps you reclaim time, reduce errors, and drive consistency—every step of the way.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Ready to see it in action?</strong></p><p>Watch our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4940132/3DD01B56C4383C3BF8276C47E689D0F0?partnerref=E.25CMD.CH102.25762.01"><strong>GC-MS Masterclass webinar</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/cs_000731_gc_GC_MS_MS_TSQ_9610_food_enviro_testing_cs000731_na_en_7e59895e62/cs-000731-gc-GC-MS-MS-TSQ9610-food-enviro-testing-cs000731-na-en.pdf"><strong>hear what our customers have to say</strong></a><strong> </strong>or visit the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.thermofisher.com/content/lifetech/global/en/home/industrial/chromatography/chromatography-learning-center/chromeleon-cds-information.html"><strong>Chromeleon University</strong></a> to learn how smarter software can take your workflows to the next level.</p><p><strong>Visit us on&nbsp;</strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/72003132/admin/dashboard/"><strong>LinkedIn:</strong></a>&nbsp;#Chromeleon #GCMS</p></blockquote></div></article><section><blockquote><h4><strong>Zoe Julian</strong></h4><p>Zoe Julian is a Product Marketing Manager for Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry software at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
