A method for automatically verifying the existence of a target compound comprises generating a total ion chromatogram. The total ion chromatogram comprises a plurality of peaks, each peak representing one or more compounds in a sample matrix, each peak comprising at least two compounds. The method also comprises deconvoluting each peak to isolate each target compound present in the peak, and automatically verifying the identity of each target compound against a target compound library.

Rapid automatic target compound confirmation using deconvolution and spectral matching

A data manipulation method to make local chromatography data more usable and comparable to a reference. The method provides time axis correction to better match local data to a reference of the same time scale, time axis transformation to correspond more directly to a reference based on a different time scale, and response axis correction to better match a reference of the same or different response scale, while maintaining the original peak areas. The method may be used along or concurrently with other data manipulation technique to facilitate operations such as searching, matching, visual comparison, mathematical manipulation, and pattern recognition of chromatographic data.
