The proprietary products of Chiralizer™ Services have been designed to automate common procedures used in HPLC and LC-MS analyses. Chiralizer™ Services developed the popular LC SPIDERLING Automated Column Selection System - now used by most of the world's major pharmaceutical, chemical and environmental companies to achieve greater efficiencies in both sample testing, throughput and in the development of new test methods.

The company's name is derived from the first application of the LC SPIDERLING™ in the form of an  intelligent, automated method development device for chiral HPLC separations. The original "Chiralizer™", as it was known, (Short for automated chiral screening analyzer) was used to screen racemic samples against a number of proven commercial chiral columns and mobile phases. Within six months, it enabled the elimination of a backlog of over 600 chiral compounds waiting for separation methods. To date, over ten thousand unique chiral methods have been developed using the product for chiral analysis in our laboratory alone.

Because it could automate the method development and analysis process for most non-chiral (achiral) as well as chiral samples, the Chiralizer's name was changed to the "LC SPIDERLING™" (it's  plumbing resembles a spiders body and legs), and it became the first in a growing series of proprietary automation & control devices offered to chemist's.
