Figure 10-42 Type of Analysis
Analysis Type
Simple . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The mass spectral data is used to identify the
compounds. The calculated match factor is
only based upon the quality of the match
between the deconvoluted component
spectra and the target library spectra.
RI Calibration Data . . . . . . . . . . . . This type of analysis uses an external
calibration file. If the identified compound is
not within a specified retention window, the
program will penalize the match factor by a
specified amount.
RI Calibr. Data + Internal Std. . . . . In this mode, the retention indices are
calculated from the external calibration file.
The internal standards are used to ensure
that the instrument is functioning properly
and that the samples were prepared
properly. The internal standards are not used
to calculate retention indices.
RI Calibration/Performance. . . . . . This analysis establishes the correlation
between the retention time of a component
and the retention index using the set of
standards specified in the calibration library.
Performance Check . . . . . . . . . . . . This analysis verifies that the HAPSITE ER is
properly identifying performance standards.
The analysis does not perform a calibration.
