Chromatograms
Table 6-4 Chromatograms
Types of chromatograms Purpose
TIC (Total Ion Chromatogram) A chromatographic display generated by plotting the intensity
of all ions in a scan against time or scan number.
When a data file is opened, it is preset to appear as a TIC. If
the experiment contains only one scan, it is shown as a
spectrum. For more information about using the available
icons, refer to Table 6-8.
If the MCA check box is selected during acquisition of the data
file, then the data file opens to the mass spectrum. If the MCA
check box is not selected, then the data file opens with the TIC
XIC (Extracted Ion
Chromatogram)
An ion chromatogram created by taking intensity values at a
single, discrete mass value, or a mass range, from a series of
mass spectral scans. It indicates the behavior of a given mass,
or mass range, as a function of time.
