Data File Naming in a Sequence
Data File Naming in a Sequence
Data file naming in a sequence can be done in the following ways:
• automatic,
• manual, or
• prefix/counter.
Automatic Data File Naming During a Sequence
Sample Vials
For example 017-0103.D
where:
• The first three digits are the vial number, for example, 017.
• The fourth digit in liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis is a
separation hyphen (-); in a gas chromatograph, this will be either (F) for
front or (B) for back.
• The fifth and sixth digits are the sequence line that defines the method
used, for example, 01 for the first sequence line.
• The seventh and eighth digits are the injection number for this vial by the
method, for example, 03 for the third injection.
Blank Runs
For example NV--0499.D
where:
• NV stands for no vial.
• - is a separation hyphen.
• 0499 is the 99
th
blank run of sequence line 4.
