System suitability calculation for 2D peaks

To calculate the system suitability values for a 2D peak, the application evaluates all associated ²D peaks.

The system suitability values are calculated as follows, based on the ²D peaks:

• Resolution: Minimum resolution from all associated ²D peaks

• Selectivity: Minimum selectivity from all associated ²D peaks

• Tailing: Maximum of tailing from all associated ²D peaks

• Asymmetry: Maximum asymmetry from all associated ²D peaks

• Capacity factor: Minimum capacity factor from all associated ²D peaks

• Plates: Minimum number of theoretical plates (per column) from all associated ²D peaks

• Plates pm: Minimum number of theoretical plates per meter from all associated ²D peaks

• Noise: Maximum noise from all associated ²D peaks

• Signal to Noise: Minimum S/N from all associated ²D peaks

• Symmetry: Minimum symmetry from all associated ²D peaks.

  Note that the Symmetry Factor (USP, EP, JP) is identical with the Tailing Factor (USP). See Symmetry factor, tailing factor (USP)
