The goals of the Open AUC (Analytical Ultracentrifugation) Project are to stimulate AUC innovation by
improving instrumentation, detectors, acquisition and analysis software, and collaborative tools. These improvements
are needed for the next generation of AUC-based research.

The Open AUC Project combines on-going work from several different groups. A new base instrument is being
designed from the ground up to be an analytical ultracentrifuge. This machine offers an open architecture,
hardware standards, and application programming interfaces for detector developers. All software will use the
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU Public License] to assure that intellectual property is available in open source format. The Open AUC strategy facilitates collaborations, encourages sharing, and eliminates the chronic impediments that have plagued AUC innovation for the last 20 years. This ultracentrifuge will be equipped with multiple and interchangeable optical tracks so that state-of-the-art electronics and improved detectors will be available for a variety of optical systems. The instrument will be complemented by a new rotor, enhanced data acquisition and analysis software, as well as collaboration software. 

This Trac instance supports the software development for the AUC project.
