Integrator capabilities

The integrator algorithms include the following key capabilities:

  • the ability to define individual integration event tables for each chromatographic signal if multiple signals or more than one detector are used

  • graphical manual integration of chromatograms requiring human interpretation

  • annotation of integration results

  • integrator parameter definitions to set or modify the basic integrator settings for area rejection, height rejection, peak width, slope sensitivity, shoulder detection, baseline correction and front/tail tangent skim detection

  • baseline control parameters, such as force baseline, hold baseline, baseline at all valleys, baseline at the next valley, fit baseline backwards from the end of the current peak, most likely baseline point from a time range

  • area summation control

  • negative peak recognition

  • solvent peak definition detection

  • integrator control commands defining retention time ranges for the integrator operation

  • peak shoulder allocation through the use of second derivative calculations
