摘要:
Methods and systems for obtaining mass spectrographic data of a substance. Methods include subjecting a substance to a chromatographic process or other separating process, ionizing the output thereof, and subjecting the ionized output to recursive mass spectrometry analyses; and provide improved processing and analysis of data acquired during the repeated analyses. Systems according to one aspect of the invention comprise ion sources, mass spectrometers capable of analyzing ions of selected mass, and controllers adapted to receive from the mass spectrometers and retain signals representing data representing pluralities of mass spectrograms. The controllers can be adapted to generate information useful for describing extracted ion chromatograms, using data associated with the pluralities of mass spectrograms and non-linear curve approximation algorithms; and to use the generated information to generate further information useful in further analysis of the ionized substance.
摘要:
An analytical method and an analytical system capable of more accurate analysis, in which a sample is analyzed by a capillary electrophoresis technique in which a voltage is applied to a sample solution introduced to a micro flow path (27)7, a separation analysis is performed for a component contained in the sample solution, and an optically measured value corresponding to an elapsed time after starting a measurement is measured. The analytical method comprises: a process of determining an interface arrival time point, based on the optically measured value when an interface between the sample solution and a migration liquid reaches a predetermined measurement position in the micro flow path; and a process of identifying the component contained in the sample solution using the optically measured value at the elapsed time after the interface arrival time point.
摘要:
In a method for estimating a noise level representing the magnitude of a noise component from measurement data, first waveform data composed of high frequency noise components extracted from assumed noise data are divided into segments so that each section where positive values successively occur or each section where negative values successively occur in the first waveform data is defined as one segment (Step S3). A segment-width threshold is determined based on the distribution of the widths of the segments (Step S4). Second waveform data composed of high frequency noise components extracted from measurement data are divided into segments so that each section where positive values successively occur or each section where negative values successively occur in the second waveform data is defined as one segment (Step S6). Each segment having a width larger than the threshold is excluded from the segments in the second waveform data, to create a first segment group (Step S7). The noise level is determined based on the heights or areas of the plurality of segments included in the first segment group.

摘要:
An improved method and apparatus for identifying peaks and for determining the boundaries of those peaks, and boundaries of multiple peaks and shoulders within chromatograms (184). The method and apparatus effects real time identification and determination of the boundaries of these peaks for the purpose of fraction collection. The method and apparatus determines the boundary of a peak within a detector response profile that comprises data points plotted graphically on an X and Y-axis wherein the X-axis represents a first variable and the Y-axis represents a second variable, each variable having a value. The plot at each of the data points has a slope. Data points having a slope which deviates from a consistent value define a peak, and data points having a slope with a consistent value define a baseline.
