the samples within the same Run will carry the same Product name with a suffix of
increment of one, starting from #1 (ProductName#1), as the measurement moves to the
next sample. Check the option if user chooses to “Use the Method Name as the Product
Name”. Press Next for the page to enter Run Name, Product Name, and Sample Info
Fields pre-defined by Administrative user. When running more than one sample in a
batch manner, users are required to enter a Run Name.
Press the Laser Switch/Acquisition key to start acquiring the Raman spectrum.
Keep the sample in place until the dark scan is also completed.
In summary, the Identification test is performed in the following order:
i. Load the Method.
ii. Enter product information.
iii. Acquire a Raman spectrum of the material to be identified.
iv. A p-value will be calculated by comparing the spectrum acquired from the
sample and the spectrum from the method.
v. A “Pass” or “Fail” result will be declared based on a significance level, which
is set in the Method. Therefore, for a p-value greater than or equal to the set
value, for example 0.05, the result of “Pass” will be declared; for a p-value
less than 0.05, the result of “Fail” will be declared.
For “Pass” results, verified material information and the p-value will be displayed. Press
to view the acquired spectrum and the spectrum associated with the method. Press
to close the screen and return to the previous screen.
For “Fail” results, the probable
match suggestion against the library, if available, will be displayed with the corresponding
HQI. Press to display the acquired spectrum and the spectrum associated with the
probable match.
