Results
If you installed the 2D-LC
Add-on, the Injection Results window
contains more information. See 2D-LC help
for details.

Injection results
The Injection Results window contains the results table of the last selected injection. It lists the integration results calculated by peak. Each line of the table represents a peak, each column represents a value calculated on the peak.
The peak selection is synchronized with the data selection in other windows (see Data Synchronization).
If you add your own calculations to the results, they are also shown in this window. Peak results are included in the table on the Peaks tab. Sequence, Injections, and Signals results are shown on the Summary tab.
You can choose the columns that are shown in the Injection Results table. For example, the following columns are available:
Peak# |
Index of the peak according to its retention time. |
|
Name |
Name of the compound. Empty if the peak is not identified. |
Signal description | Name of the signal on which the peak is integrated. |
|
RT (min) |
Retention time of the peak. It corresponds to the time at the peak apex. |
|
Area (unit) | Area between the signal and the baseline between the two peak edges (peak start and stop markers). A unit shown in the column header only if all listed results use the same unit (for example, mAU*s for a DAD detector), and if the acquisition software provided these units (for example, EZChrom data does not show a unit). |
Area% |
Relative area of the peak (in %) to the area sum of all peaks in the integrated signal. |
|
Height (unit) | Difference between the value of the signal at the apex of the peak and the value of the baseline at the same time. A unit shown in the column header only if all listed results use the same unit (for example, mAU for a DAD detector), and if the acquisition software provided these units (for example, EZChrom data does not show a unit). |
Height% |
Relative height of the peak (in %) to the height sum of all peaks in the integrated signal. |
|
Width (min) | Peak width as estimated by the selected integrator. |
Amount |
Amount and unit of the compound as calculated from the calibration curve (before applying multiplier and factors). See Correction factors. |
Concentration |
Concentration (with unit) or mass percentage, of the compound after applying multipliers and factors. See Concentration and mass% and Correction factors. |
RF |
Calculated response factor (RF) of the compound. The calculation depends on the RF definition mode set in the calibration parameters of the processing method. See Calibration Parameters. |
Start time (min) | Time at the beginning of the peak (in minutes). |
End time (min) | Time at the end of the peak (in minutes). |
Norm amount |
Normalized amount of compound, including the unit. See Apply normalization. |
UV Conf. Match Factor | Number indicating the similarity of the current peak's apex spectrum with the UV reference spectrum (0 = no match, 1000 = identical). See Confirm compound identity. |
|
UV Purity |
Number indicating the UV purity of the current peak (0 = surely impure, 1000 = most likely pure). See Configure processing method for UV impurity check. |
|
RT |
Retention time of the qualifier ion (peak in the Extracted Ion Chromatogram EIC). If a qualifier exists for the compound, the value is shown in the Qualifier group details window to the right of the injection results table. |
m/z |
Mass-to-charge ratio of the qualifier ion. If a qualifier exists for the compound, the value is shown in the Qualifier group details window to the right of the injection results table. |
Rsp (%) | Response ratio of qualifier and target ion. If a qualifier exists for the compound, the value is shown in the Qualifier group details window to the right of the injection results table. |
Signal |
Signal name of the qualifier ion. If a qualifier exists for the compound, the value is shown in the Qualifier group details window to the right of the injection results table. |
|
Several values in the Injection Results table may be provided by the chromatography data system with which you acquired the data. If a value is not calculated by OpenLab CDS as well, the column cell in the injection results will be empty after reprocessing. See available values. |
Exporting the results
The context menu of the Injection Results window offers the possibility to export the table. You can copy the table content to the Clipboard or save it as a file. You can choose between the following file formats:
-
Comma separated value (*.CSV)
-
Excel worksheet (*.XLS)
-
Word document (*.DOC)
-
PDF file (*.PDF)
