Data Review, Reprocessing and Batch Review

Batch Configuration

A batch is a user-selected series of data files that is processed using a

user-defined method. All data files in the batch are processed using the same

method. The processing steps carried out each time a new sample is loaded for

review can be selected (integration, identification/quantitation, reporting).

All calibration runs in the batch are used to produce a single calibration table,

using averaged response factors, which is then used for quantification.

Batch Table

Runs are displayed in a user-configurable batch table:

• the number and content of the table’s columns can be specified;

• the runs can be sorted by

• run index (the order in which the runs were acquired) independent of

any other criteria,

• sample type (control samples first, then calibration samples, then normal

samples) then by run index within each sample type,

• method (if more than one method was used to acquire the runs) then by

run index within each method;

• samples, calibration samples and control samples can be displayed in the

table or hidden.

Each selected run occupies a line in the batch table. You can exclude a run in

the batch table (e.g. from calibration) by changing its sample type to Removed.

Compound Table

The compound results are displayed in a user-configurable compounds table,

but contents of the compounds table depends on the type of samples in the

batch table:
