The Chromatography Analysis and Design Toolkit (CADET) is developed at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences 1 (IBG-1) of Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) under supervision of Dr. Eric von Lieres. This is the semi analytic extension of the core CADET project, of which both are freely distributed (under the terms of the GPLv3) as a contribution to the scientific community. If you find it useful for your own work, we would appreciate acknowledgements of this software and citations of our papers:

Features
- Fast arbitrary order moments using the Laplace transform of the GRM, algorithmic differentiation, and extrapolation
- Arbitrary inlet profiles via piecewise cubic polynomials in moment calculation
- Arbitrary precision solution of the GRM, LRMP and LRM using a numerical inverse Laplace transform (can optionally be combined with extrapolation)
- Proven error bounds for GRM solutions in case of quasi-stationary binding
- Processes one component GRM, LRMP and LRM with linear isotherm
- Suited for dynamic and quasi-stationary binding
- Shared memory parallelization using OpenMP
- Supports XML and HDF5 as input formats, CSV for output
- Command line interface
- Multi-platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X
