A three-minute first prediction

Start with data that is ready to paste.

This fictional dataset contains three peaks measured across Organic Phase and Temperature. Both variables can alter chromatographic selectivity, and the combined target shows why multivariable prediction matters.

Step 1 / Copy

Copy the 18 data rows.

The table shows what every field means. The button copies the same rows as comma-separated text in the exact format expected by Quick Data Input.

Peak name	Condition name	Condition value	Retention time
Acetaminophen	Organic Phase	35	5.30
Acetaminophen	Organic Phase	40	5.00
Acetaminophen	Organic Phase	45	4.70
Acetaminophen	Temperature	25	5.25
Acetaminophen	Temperature	35	5.00
Acetaminophen	Temperature	45	4.75
Caffeine	Organic Phase	35	5.30
Caffeine	Organic Phase	40	5.20
Caffeine	Organic Phase	45	5.10
Caffeine	Temperature	25	5.25
Caffeine	Temperature	35	5.20
Caffeine	Temperature	45	5.15
Ibuprofen	Organic Phase	35	8.80
Ibuprofen	Organic Phase	40	8.20
Ibuprofen	Organic Phase	45	7.60
Ibuprofen	Temperature	25	8.50
Ibuprofen	Temperature	35	8.20
Ibuprofen	Temperature	45	7.90

Step 2 / Paste and process

Use the first panel on Overview.

After signing in, stay on the Overview tab. Quick Data Input is the first panel on the left.

Quick Data Input panel showing example rows in the large text box, with the Process Data button beneath — An actual ChromatographyForge screen, populated with example method-development data.

1
Paste into the large white text box.
Replace any placeholder text. Keep one observation on each line.
2
Select Process Data.
The blue button is directly below the input box.
3
Confirm the green success message.
Initial Conditions, Target Conditions, the chromatogram, and results will populate.

Step 3 / Explore

Compare a known point with a target.

Leave the initial values at Organic Phase 40% and Temperature 35. Acetaminophen and Caffeine begin only 0.20 minutes apart at Rs 0.67. Changing only Organic Phase to 45% or only Temperature to 45 reaches Rs 1.33, still below baseline separation. Set both target values together and the predicted pair reaches Rs 2.00. These fictional values teach the interface and are not analytical recommendations.
