DATAWORX the next generation in laboratory data systems

Welcome to the home of DELTA Data Systems.  DELTA chromatography data systems and DELTA Flo continuous flow / FIA data systems have been serving the needs of analysts since 1987.

The first (unnamed) version of DELTA Flo was actually in use from 1985. It used our first humble little 12 bit external data interface to collect the analog data from the detectors. After the success of DELTA Flo we set about creating a chromatography  data system using the same 12 bit data interface. It was at this time that DELTA was first used as the name of our data systems; derived from the traditional use of the Greek symbol D in the mathematics  of integration. The chromatography data systems are simply named Delta while the flow analysis systems fall under the Delta Flo banner.

Over the years the software has of course been revised and improved many times. DELTA 5.5 is the current release of the chromatography data system, while DELTA Flo version 4.0 is the 32 bit Windows release of the continuous flow data systems.

The same  progression has occurred for our hardware interfaces; starting firstly with our 12 bit serial interface, to a 20 bit four channel full length ISA bus interface card followed by a half length 20 bit six channel interface card.

While our 20 bit interfaces were far more suited to chromatography than the early 12 bit data interface, we were more and more at the mercy of ever changing PC bus standards. From ISA to Micro-channel, EISA, local bus and finally the PCI bus. When it came time once again to re-visit the design of our data interface we chose to break the links that bound us to the mercy of the hardware bus designers and design an interface that would allow us to target our software  to any computer or operating system whether Windows, Linux (or other unixes)  or Macintosh. With this in mind we designed the fourth generation DataCenter 4000 interface to use the ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus (USB) which has long been the only interface available on Mac PC's and is now the interface of favour for IBM compatible PCs. As a fallback, we also included a serial interface in the little power packed DataCenter 4000.

Which brings us to ... today. If your interest is chromatography then click on the DELTA link to learn more about our chromatography data systems. If you are a continuous flow or flow injection analyst then click on the Delta Flo link for information on our flow analysis systems. If you have an interest in general laboratory data collection or interfacing whether analog or digital then follow the DataCenter 4000 link to learn more about the powerhouse that is the DataCenter 4000...
