1 ChemStation Data Structure

ChemStation prior to B.02.01

In ChemStation revisions prior to B.02.01, sequences, methods and the

generated data files and results were stored in fixed, specified and separated

locations. For example, methods were referenced by name in a sequence and it

was the user’s responsibility to maintain the integrity of methods, sequences,

and data files. Because of this, the long-term archiving of data, and

reproduction of results was a tedious task. Users had to document the

chromatogram, results, and associated method; this was the case not only for

regulated labs, but also for some areas of unregulated labs (such as

environmental labs). In ChemStation prior to B.02.01, this could be achieved

only by printing everything in a report.
