QC analysts shouldn't be transcribing data by hand

ChromaParse exists because the most highly-trained chemists in pharma spend hours each week typing numbers from PDFs into spreadsheets. We're here to give that time back.

Why we built ChromaParse

Hours wasted weekly

An 83-page Empower report takes 90+ minutes of careful typing. Multiply across a QC team and that's a full FTE.

Manual entry has errors

Even careful chemists transpose digits 1 in 1000 entries. In a regulated environment that's an audit finding waiting to happen.

Data trapped in PDFs

LIMS and ELN systems can't ingest PDF — so the audit trail breaks the moment a number leaves the chromatograph workstation.

Compliance gaps

Without source-trace, an auditor asking "prove this Excel cell came from this PDF" gets a shrug.

What we believe

Accuracy first

An extraction at 95% accuracy is worse than no tool at all — the wrong numbers are dangerous. We measure, validate, and refuse to ship templates we can't verify.

Compliance is structural

Audit trail isn't a feature — it's the foundation. Every action is logged, every value is traceable, every file is hashed.

Data sovereignty

Your data is yours. SaaS users can opt out of model training; on-premise customers see no data leave the network.

Pragmatic over perfect

We ship narrow solutions that work today rather than wide solutions that might work tomorrow.

Who we are

A small team of QC chemists, software engineers, and regulatory specialists. We've worked at pharma companies, contract testing labs, and software vendors — and we've all done our share of manual data entry.
