A method of acquiring and displaying chromatographic separation data, comprising: acquiring, using a device that includes multiple wells (3, 5) that are coupled to a single separation channel and that analyses samples one at a time to acquire a series of measurements for each sample one after the other, first a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents and markers in a first sample at a detection location over time and then a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents and markers in a second sample at the detection location over time; wherein the method further comprises the computer-implemented method steps of: receiving the series of measurements for the first sample; receiving the series of measurements for the second sample; the series of measurements for the second sample being received after the series of measurements for the first sample; displaying the series of measurements for the first sample as a first series of bands; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the first sample that corresponds to one of the markers; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the second sample that corresponds to the marker; scaling the series of measurements for the second sample so that the displayed bands that correspond to the marker in the first and second samples are aligned when displayed; and displaying the series of measurements for the second sample as a second series of bands adjacent to the first series of bands. acquiring, using a device that includes multiple wells (3, 5) that are coupled to a single separation channel and that analyses samples one at a time to acquire a series of measurements for each sample one after the other, first a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents and markers in a first sample at a detection location over time and then a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents and markers in a second sample at the detection location over time; wherein the method further comprises the computer-implemented method steps of: receiving the series of measurements for the first sample; receiving the series of measurements for the second sample; the series of measurements for the second sample being received after the series of measurements for the first sample; displaying the series of measurements for the first sample as a first series of bands; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the first sample that corresponds to one of the markers; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the second sample that corresponds to the marker; scaling the series of measurements for the second sample so that the displayed bands that correspond to the marker in the first and second samples are aligned when displayed; and displaying the series of measurements for the second sample as a second series of bands adjacent to the first series of bands. receiving the series of measurements for the first sample; receiving the series of measurements for the second sample; the series of measurements for the second sample being received after the series of measurements for the first sample; displaying the series of measurements for the first sample as a first series of bands; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the first sample that corresponds to one of the markers; identifying at least one peak in the series of measurements for the second sample that corresponds to the marker; scaling the series of measurements for the second sample so that the displayed bands that correspond to the marker in the first and second samples are aligned when displayed; and displaying the series of measurements for the second sample as a second series of bands adjacent to the first series of bands.
