Abstract
A minimum peak is determined from analysis results, a correction wavelength at which an S/N ratio of the minimum peak is greatest is determined, and the determined correction wavelength is used to execute correction of the minimum peak. A plurality of detector output value correction method are registered in a processor, correction method is selected from default correction method or from among a plurality of preset correction methods according to an object to perform correction.
Claims7
A method for correcting detector output value of a liquid chromatograph, the method comprising:
- selecting an analysis condition for using a liquid chromatograph, the analysis condition being selected from preset recipes that are registered in advance according to an examination object, the analysis condition being a condition to be set with respect to devices included in the liquid chromatograph such as a pump, an auto sampler, a column oven, and a detector,
- starting analysis according to the analysis condition that is selected in the previous step, measuring a characteristic of a sample using the detector, the characteristic including at least one of an absorbency and a fluorescence amount, and storing and displaying a signal strength of the detector indicating the characteristic of the sample in relation to time as analysis results;
- obtaining a chromatogram;
- recognizing peaks included in the chromatogram;
- determining a most minute peak of the signal strength of the analysis results in peaks which are recognized as a correction target peak;
- determining correction candidate wavelengths with respect to the correction target peak;
- performing a correction process on detector output value fluctuation based on correction method which is selected from among a plurality of preset correction methods;
- and
- outputting the analysis conditions, the correction condition, and corrected results of the characteristic of the sample.
