Abstract
Disclosed herein are scientific instrument support systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a scientific instrument support apparatus includes chromatogram logic to calculate the square of a retention time and a peak width variance for each of a plurality of peaks in a chromatogram; plate calculation logic to calculate an expected plate number and an observed plate number; and suppressor status logic to determine a suppressor status based on a ratio of the observed plate number to the expected plate number (O/E ratio) and to display the status.
Claims20
A scientific instrument support apparatus, comprising:
- chromatogram logic to calculate a square of a retention time (tr2) and a peak width variance (σ2) for each of a plurality of peaks in a chromatogram;
- plate calculation logic to calculate an expected plate number and an observed plate number;
- and
- suppressor status logic to determine a suppressor status based on a ratio of the observed plate number to the expected plate number (O/E ratio) and to display the suppressor status.
A scientific instrument support apparatus, comprising:
- chromatogram logic to receive a chromatogram from an ion chromatography system, the ion chromatography system including a suppressor;
- and
- suppressor status logic to generate a status indicator for the suppressor based at least in part on the chromatogram.
