摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing sample data from a component separation/mass spectrometer system. A profile plot is formed for each sample, each having retention time and intensity axes, the intensity being represented as a function of retention time for a selected sample ion mass. An intensity peak arrangement, including at least one identifying peak, each having a peak range and characteristic intensity, is identified for a selected ion in the profile plot for each sample. An orthogonal plot, corresponding to the profile plot, for each sample is formed, extending along the retention time axis perpendicularly to the intensity axis. The characteristic intensity of each of the at least one identifying peak is represented on the retention time axis of the orthogonal plot with gradated indicia.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium are provided for analyzing data from a component separation/mass spectrometer (CS-MS), wherein an intensity peak is determined, with an area thereof determined using an integration procedure, in each two-dimensional data set. The intensity peak indicates a sample component, and the area thereof indicates a relative quantity of the sample component. An integration procedure determines the area of selected peaks of a first portion of the two-dimensional data sets associated with a first sample component, and is applied to the intensity peaks of a second portion having the areas thereof not determined by that integration procedure, to adjust the relative quantity of the first sample component in the second portion samples relative to the relative quantity of the first sample component in the first portion samples. The re-integration may also involve determining whether a second sample component is indicated by the intensity peak.
