What is Batch Review?
What is Batch Review?
Batch review is a capability within data analysis designed to help an analyst
perform a “first-pass” review of the results of a sequence or a selection of runs
quickly and easily. It will save time especially when reprocessing large
numbers of samples. Whenever a sequence is run, a batch file (with a .b
extension) is automatically generated and placed in the data directory along
with the data files. This batch file contains pointers to the data files in the
batch review itself. Upon loading a batch, the analyst need only select the
method to use for the batch, and then individually select the desired data files
to analyze in the batch. One can check the calibration accuracy, instrument
performance and individual integrations before approving the results. Any
chromatogram specific integration parameters which are modified can be
stored with the data file for data traceability. This interactive environment
provides complete access to all other data analysis capabilities, such as peak
purity, library searching, etc., as well.
Batch review uses the same data analysis registers (ChromReg and ChromRes)
as the standard data analysis and should therefore not be used in an online
session that is currently performing analyses.
