Peak Integration
ChromLab software uses an algorithm to find peaks in UV traces and calculate the
necessary data for analysis, such as retention volume and peak area. The results
appear in the Peaks table at the bottom of the Evaluation window and in the
chromatogram.
You can perform peak integration on a single run or on multiple runs in a single view.
When you click Peak Integration on the Run tab toolbar, peak integration is
performed automatically using default settings, which appear in the Peak
Integration pane to the right of the chr
omatogram. You can change the parameter
settings or the traces selected for integration and run peak integration again with
the new settings.
You can also adjust peaks manually. Doing so adjusts only the selected trace and
displays only this trace’
s peaks in the chromatogram. See Adjusting Peaks Manually
on page 238 for details.
Tip: SIM traces for external detectors connected to the NGC instruments are
also used for peak detection and integration. In this case, the y-axis units
defined in System Settings for the exter
nal detectors are used for peak
calculations. See Device Input Tab on page 76 for more information.
