Len:
If low-cost is good, is no-cost better? Since System Gold was
always too expensive for us, we have used the Gilson system for the 6300
(as well as for our HPLC systems). Data are saved to a disk file, that is
loaded very easily into an Excel spreadsheet we set up long ago. This
gives ratios, calculated and found MWs, etc. I don't know what the data
structure of the System Gold disk records is, but it would probably work
the same - or similarly.
