PDR-Separations develops, manufactures, and supports advanced instruments, software, systems, and processes for automating method development, purification, and processing; at any scale.
(a) Rapidly screen separation methods and let our Data Processing Tool suggest the best methods.
(b) Use our PREP Predictor to pragmatically choose the best purification method.
(c) Purify milligrams to tons efficiently.
AutoPDR software has an easy-to-understand chromatographic-only user interface that is not dependent on hardware devices. Chromatographic parameters and commands are translated into hardware commands by device-specific drivers, simplifying method transfer and staff training — the user interface is always the same regardless of hardware devices being controlled.
In many cases, we can use your existing pumps and detectors with our hardware modules and software to configure a new system with improved capabilities and walk-away automation.
Laser Polarimeter DALP (digital advanced laser polarimeter) accurately measures optical activity in chiral compounds, antibiotics, sugars, etc.
Deconvolution CCM (continuous concentration monitor) uses spectral deconvolution to separate via math as components pass through a spectrometer in real-time. Eliminates the need for sample extractions and offline analysis.
Gary W Yanik has extensive expertise developing and manufacturing systems with advanced capabilities by creatively applying physics, math, engineering, chemistry, software, etc. Skills include optics/lasers, electronics, mechanics, magnetics, thermodynamics, software, etc. Current focus is on liquid separations via eluent/media and math for method development, purification, and process control in HPLC/UHPLC, SFC, CCC/CPC, SMB/MCC, PAT, etc.
BS in Physics, Math, Chemistry at U of Michigan; Engineering Management from CalTech. Developed systems to measure g-factor of positrons (anti-particles); photon-counting imaging spectrometers and polarimeters for characterizing distant galaxies and expansion of the Universe; multi-sensor suites for detection and tracking of ballistic missiles (SDI); laser radar guidance systems for cruise missiles; polarimeters, spectrometers, injectors, collectors, pumps, etc. for liquid separation applications.
Gary can visualize many more than 3 dimensions and trained himself to build mental simulations of systems and processes with many variables. These simulations are usually accurate to within 10% and support creative design optimization and tolerancing.
