Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing sample data from a component separation/mass spectrometer system. A profile plot is formed for each sample, each having retention time and intensity axes, the intensity being represented as a function of retention time for a selected sample ion mass. An intensity peak arrangement, including at least one identifying peak, each having a peak range and characteristic intensity, is identified for a selected ion in the profile plot for each sample. An orthogonal plot, corresponding to the profile plot, for each sample is formed, extending along the retention time axis perpendicularly to the intensity axis. The characteristic intensity of each of the at least one identifying peak is represented on the retention time axis of the orthogonal plot with gradated indicia.
