B4U Start (Before You Start) > browsing our CHROMTECH Site !
. . . have patience ! . . . with US ! . . . and the Aussie “BBN” (>2018 )
. . . and it’s STILL coming(2018 ?) ! Hooray NOW it’s here June2019
> still at a crawl of 15Mbs 2020 !
even tho’ “Gawd” forbid it Now belongs to the Feds(Govt)
 . . . and they’re probably years too late . . . for us !
we’ve been forced to “Web-serve from the Clouds”
. . . another “can of worms” maybe ! ?
NOW 2022 > 40/20 Mbs > & that’s GREAT !
In the mean-time . . . if nothing else > . . . treat us / Our Website
as a “work in progress”
 And as an Information Resource on Chromatography & for Analytical Chemists !  > SEARCH . . . Do-IT !

As designed . . . AND literally from the year “dot” of the Internet
- “Our WEB” Now actually comprises 3-5 different Sites external & within
 ( as sub-directory  )and It’s still “evolving” . . .  > 1000s of pages in various formats covering some 30-60,000 items from >20+ Suppliers

a bit ambitious . . . wishful thinking . . . in hindsight just maybe
. . .  > it’s Not a Perfect World !

   1      “CHROMTECHs” SITE www.chromtech.net.au

 Now “morphed” into NEW(er)
www.chromtech-AUS.com (more International ?> and perhaps minimising
the stigma of being in AUSTRALIA) and NOW FlipPAGE based format
www.chromalytic.net.au . . .

. . . but yes we have progressed into FlipPAGE technology both have evolved
into “mobile friendlier” & scalable ( via “zoom” vs dreaded original “HTM” format where unfortunately most of our product details have initiated / resided
. . . > at least GOOGLE in theory can “spider”
 these and maybe eventually grant us a reasonable “ranking”, but whether SEO
in general Google ultimately are competent enough to adapt to this ?
 it seems still questionable ?
te SiteMaps.XML, robots.txt redirections AND THEY are NOT Telling
 OR just make everything so damn difficult !

   2 (a)    Our Website www.chromtech.net.au/index.htm . . . htm pages leading
to > 2000 individual PDFs, and > 100’s of FlipPAGEs  / Supplier Catalogs / “Bundle” (of PDFs) > many up to 800 individual PDF Pages of > Product Sections, APPLICATIONS, Newsletters etc

• a prolific array of technical info re chromatography, GC,HPLC and Fluid transfer systems

• modern FlipPAGE format 100’s of “bundled” PDF pages, fully [SEARCHABLE}
  and indirectly linked to our “System Pricing” . . .
   (at least for our main Suppliers )

• . . . now updated to > ~100 NEW FlipHTML5 format - in many respects
  > IMPROVED, Faster ( for us to manage ) . . . albeit with some limitations ?
  ( <450PDF page limit Internal SEARCH can be initially SLOW! AND unfortunately built-in [SEARCH} Results are NOT (yet!) Highlighted ) an oversight of the s’ware OEMs . . . > ( Now corrected June 2017 SEARCH HiLites now work on updated FlipPages . . . > still underway on some ? )

• Several prior formats of “flip” style ( PdfFLIP; Flip, Flippingbook etc)PAGE )
  are Also included / maintained for historical Archive references
  Still based on original OEM PDFs but infinitely better in both “speed and graphics presentation”
  
  ALL these provide you THE potential Customer with an INVALUABLE Technical Resource !
  but not for the “faint heart” or average “twitter mentality”

      (b)     FLIP-Site Cart www.chromtech.net.au/flipsite.htm
via FlipPAGEs > MALs Cart formatted with mobile devices in mind.

  3        2015 SHOP CART Site www.chromalytic.net.au : embeds our
“Detailed” CHROMTECH website”  in an ” I-Frame” ( unfortuneatly HTML5
has big issues with “FlipPAGES” it seems ! ) sad but that and “Flash” was sabotaged by WWW3 vested interest “money grubbers”
( ie both were TOO Good !

> yes it’s an attempt designed to thwart parasites “scammers”
( our competitors ?) out there / deliberately “capturing” our SITE and blanket siphoning off our technical information ).
NOTE :All this is largely covered by Copyright, Trademarks etc, so ALL you such guys be aware !
THIS does have the adverse effect unfortunately . . .  > degrades SEARCH ENGINE Rankings which tend to be a “fraud” anyway
. . . at best full of loopholes and scammers and ALL those SEOs a la GOOGLE etc
trying to squeeze unsolicited “business” out of website designers
. . . a ploy by GOOGLE “AND Associates”
So! . . . All You’ll just have to do it the hard way . . . bit by bit . . . “byte by byte”
> good luck !

   4        2016+ “proto” Chromalytic Website www.chromalytic.net.au  expands on these previous “efforts” further . . . >>> Both > Full SHOP CART and access to Our main CHROMTECH “System” > Prices

   5      mini CHROMTECH Website www.chromtech.net.au/mobile/minisite-chromtech.htm a compromise site. ( UPDATED > Our New Home Page 2021+ ) & simplified down to 700x900px for mobile phones perhaps ,
I-Pads with a decent screen & far more viable IF you can put up with
 APPLE “dog” of an Operating System
> MAL’s CART a “proto” SHOP . . . OR > Quick Shopping List
 ( Advances in HTML% have at last made things more compatible specifically designed for easier / simpler access via mobile phone, Androids, I-Pads and even Apple-MACs (?) & with a decent page size Phones ?
                                 > but what a “pain in the arse “ to get ANY details !

about PDFs > & its limitations !
but still it’s the base of “FlipPAGES” but its Good that 3rd party
 re-designers have overcome some of Adobes issues”
Nowadays FlipHTML5 is the way to go !

re PDF . . . . In recent years PDFs’ have slowly evolved from a complete “dog” in its early days to a more usable scalable web format from its’ original page Editor tech design concept

Even NOW PDF  it s still inherently badly designed
. . . in hindsight perhaps it is NOT Page-served and slow for multi page PDFs . . . . surpassed by FlipHTML5 for speed !

In the meantime PDF has gradually ( with time ) generally overcome acceptance problems by Microsoft etc, ( APPLE still hates It! ) now at last . . . even by MANY web browsers, and reluctantly it seems Network ADMINISTRATORs.
Now All regard it as THE STANDARD AND to be reliable and scam / virus resilient . . . albeit bogged down by lack of “internal” bandwidth issues
. . . “a la” Universities and large Corporations . . . often perhaps more intent on “dumbing down” their potential users !
 . . . “nerds” or students potentially far smarter
& up-to-date than their “teachers”
EVEN GOOGLE ( at last ) now indexes PDF pages via their “spiders/crawlers” and ever-changing “secretive” ranking rules.
. . . Although we Still find achieving reasonable “web rankings” elude us. !
It seems the ONLY way is to pay “megabucks” to even get out of the “millions ranking” range > OR to get ”ripped off” by all those SEOs out there !
. .. with their false pretense “design solutions”
. . . one can’t keep up with all the “crawler rules” and the forever changing “webscape” designed that way ? or if not left wide open to “exploitation“
of us “mugs”

I guess WE still Must rely on our “high tech” info content and slowly acquired customer “loyalty factor”  . . . to hell with the over-simplistic web style utilised
 by most “twitter”, “ & 2-bob ” websites out there !

ALL of OUR Chromtechs Sites PDFs are NOW seem to be
“SEARCHED by GOOGLE “
and certainly the “internal” Site Only feature is useful ! . . . so use it !

For . . . A “shortcut” complete  list of CHROMTECHs PDFs
see www.chromtech.net.au/pdf2/
albeit chronically slow for more than about 10-25 PDF page bundles
FAR BETTER > . .
Our FilePAGES via www.chromtech.net.au/flip/ and original
www.chromtech.net.au/pdfflip/  now sperceded ! . . . nothing seems “backewards compatable” these days ( Win included ! )
> . . . DIR Directory Structure !
and our FlipHTML5 Books http://flip.chromalytic.net.au/
( a bit slow to load !) or via our Flip Bookcases )

Use our FlipPAGEs    instead of PDF
altho’ it still requires Adobe “FLASH”
 ( from the latest ) >SubDirectories >
www.chromtech.net.au/flip/ ( but Prices Database??? no longer on-line
/ or in operation ??? live ! )
 > Shortcut to SHOP CART by adding /index.php to flipPAGE URL
www.chromtech.net.au/flip/catalogs/
www.chromtech.net.au/flip/minicats/
www.chromtech.net.au/flip/devices/
And Now MUCH “better still” FlipHTML5 
www.chromtech.net.au/html5_flipbookcases.htm
   OR  via Our Flip “HOMEPAGE” flip.chromalytic.net.au
( but also via old(er) version of Flip )
> SHOP www.chromalytic.net.au ( > but Prices R NOW just Not On ! )

WARNING . . . unfortunately our “Tech Info” on our various Sites is
NOT without some Duplication
- as IT is derived from some  >~2000 PDF page collections (10 to 800each)
and “indexed” HTM pages from > 700px
BUT PDF collections of >25 pages tend to be very slow on an average
PC / Internet Connection
- hopelessly inefficient OR indeed NOT really practical for web browsing
> beyond “twittering”
( NOT OUR Problem as ALL our whole website(s) are now published
onto a “dedicated Cloud Server !)
  . . . by-passing Turnbull’s problematic BBN . . . as much as possible ! 
that issue is YOURS with Telstra, ISPs and exTurnbull hopefully
> pass the buck to the FEDs even more incompentancy . . . arguably ?

PDFs are “chronically still NOT PAGE SERVED” and the wholefile
 / every PDF page PDF must download to your PC BEFORE
you can Even view it! ) at best 50Mb files still take time
and nigh on USELESS for large MultiPage PDF collections / Catalogs etc
WELCOME ! > FlipPAGE ARE “Page-Served” and FAST after an initial “kick-start
if not cached” of ~15-20secs any size = to even >~150Mb of PDFs bundled x >800 PDF  pages) . . . amazing stuff !

MANY local Network Administrators DO suffer internal “bandwidth “issues” AND other
“hang-ups” and can deliberately choke “their system” to students . . . for example !
“and on a “need to know basis” . . . nothing we can do about that !
 . . . but YOU can of course complain  bitterly about IT !
> lack of “freedom of speech” ( FOI ) if you like ! . . . so good luck !

SEARCH

DON’T Confuse us with
“www.chromtech.com”
a non-affiliated USA website and many other “copycat” URLs originating from Taiwan, China UK Germany etc under various “guises”

also . . . non related . . .
“www.chromalytic.co.uk”
“www.chromtech.de”

We’ve actually registered  . . . chromtech.com.au; chromtech.net.au this Site; chromalytic.net.au
for over 13-18 Years
and in recent times
chromtech-AUS.com
for a more distinctive “Australian flavor” and to offset perhaps the perceived current stigma of “.net.au”
 

 & > NOW even many of our PDFs???  . . .
but most of our HTM pages > text ?
YES we are indexed  “internally” extensively by GOOGLE via 
NOW Uses Boolean Text Search
but more generally This Web Ranking System literally “sucks’ !

inefficient and “scammed” by larger Companies
PAID for #1 Rankings etc . . . “megabucks”
to “squeeze” out smaller similar Companies
God knows where AMAZON is heading these days
. . . in the lands of triviality consumerism
 . . . to the extreme . . . with NO “guts” to it !

“so slack” in re-indexing “changed” websites
maybe our Site((s) are just TOO Big ! for them !
. . . particularly as our older FlipPAGEs generates a multitude
 of .htm and .html fragment files ???
as a compromise re performance ? . . .
far too difficult to track maybe ?
FlipHTML5  are FAST and far more compact are at least
NOT so cumbersome for us to publish
as the previously used ”FlippingBook”

In the “Google URL” add“product1”+“product2”+chromtech
eg graphite ferrules + chromalytic
but IT is “flakey” eg NOT and -(minus) just do NOT seem to  work ! > see also eg “graphite ferrules + chromalytic”
> pages in flip on Our Site relating to “graphite ferrules”
OR SHOP :www.chromtech.net.au /shop ferrules.htm

a WORK-AROUND to FIND
our “GOOGLE” pages
other “browsers” eg Mozilla NOT “Boolean”
 & may NOT actually work !

“ SITE-Customised “

but ONLY www.chromtech.net.au/index.htm and >
at least NOW Google ( and NOF15 ) has got that part of its’ Act together !
. . . even though the latter has been discontinued as an “editor” as of 2016
. . . a pity as IT was good & still IS !

but don’t U become intimidated by ALL this ! - We’ve already done
a lot of the “(un-) necessary” “hack work”
to make an unseemly Internet “mess” . . . presentable !
