CompassCDS Chromatography Data System
CompassCDS is SCION Instruments’ universal chromatography software designed for instrument control, data acquisition, processing, and reporting.
With its unique capacity for customization, CompassCDS provides users with a powerful data analysis tool with comprehensive calibration and calculation options.
Originating from the legacy Galaxie CDS, CompassCDS has evolved into the next-generation chromatography data system, which easily integrates with LIMS, PCS/SCADA, ERP, and other commonly used data management systems.
Chromatography Software
Available as a standalone or fully networked client/server application, CompassCDS meets the broadest spectrum of customer’s requirements. The CompassCDS product suite includes a number of industry-specific plug-in and add-on modules for specific calculation and reporting and long-term archiving of raw and metadata. It integrates easily into the existing IT environment and seamlessly interfaces with LIMS, ELN, ERP (SAP), and PCS/SCADA in order to facilitate, accelerate, and automate data exchange, helping to lower per-sample costs and increase the overall efficiency of the whole development and production process, starting from R&D over IPC to final QA/QC.
CompassCDS – the always ideal CDS solution for any analytical laboratory!

CompassCDS Plugin
Reporting Software for the Hydrocarbon Processing Industry (HPI)
The SCION Instruments Eclipse SIMDIS Software Plugin automates the data processing and reporting of Gas Chromatography analytical results for petroleum samples ranging from gases up to and including crude oil for DHA, Simdist, and Gas Calculation applications. This software is used with CompassCDS to create the required DHA, SimDist, Gas Calculation, and FAME reports.
The example below shows a chromatogram using the Compass Eclipse software plugin with a combined Retention time vs boiling point curve. Eclipse makes it possible to easily obtain the boiling range distribution with different standardized methods, shown in the right-handed column of the figure.
Sample Streamer
Sample Streamer is a multi-instrument software package that seamlessly integrates your LIMS/SCADA system to CompassCDS . It provides the tracking and confidence you need, from samples arriving at the lab to results returned and reported. It can program samples across multiple instruments to improve instrument utilization and efficiency.
