What ASTM test methods are supported in OpenLab CDS?

OpenLab CDS is the perfect solution for satisfying the method and reporting requirements specified in ASTM standards. With its built-in capabilities and powerful customization options, you can be confident that your data is not only accurate, but also meets industry standards. This includes:

Built-in capabilities: OpenLab CDS simplifies the generation of reports by offering built-in calculations and reporting templates. These features enable users to create reports that adhere to ASTM standards.

Custom capabilities: For tailored reports that align to your specific needs, OpenLab reporting and custom calculator tools provide powerful customization options. These tools enable you to tailor your analyses, ensuring that they meet ASTM reporting requirements. Additionally, an add-in software package is available that leverages both reporting and custom calculator to provide a pre-built solution for analyzing and reporting RGA and NGA results, enhancing convenience even further.

Extended capabilities: OpenLab CDS goes beyond its functionality by integrating with third-party software. The integration allows you to automatically export data for more advanced analysis such as simulated distillation. The flexible data file export capabilities of OpenLab CDS streamline your workflow, offering time-saving benefits.

This is a list of supported ASTM methods in OpenLab CDS version 2.7 and above. For additional details, contact your local Agilent representative.
