Appia: simpler chromatography analysis and visualization

Chromatography is used ubiquitously in biology and chemistry to prepare, purify, and assess a wide variety of samples. Software written by chromatography instrument manufacturers is proprietary, which limits its use to licensed computers, and complex, which increases the burden of cognitive load on the user. Here we present Appia, a free, open-source chromatography processing and visualization package focused on making analysis, collaboration, and publication quick, easy, and aesthetically appealing.
