A method to implement an acquisition-stage peak width determination process, the method comprising:

• accessing acquisition-stage analytical information comprising at least one sequence of data points;
• determining a peak data point associated based on the peak data point meeting a plurality of acquisition-stage conditions;
• and
• determining the acquisition-stage peak width associated with the peak data point.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• logic coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to implement a baseline offset estimation process operative to:
• determine a Gaussian curve having an apex intensity peakY that equals a Gaussian intensity plus a peak offset intensity peakOffset,
• determine a sequence of N data points of the Gaussian curve, comprising an apex point and adjacent points with an intensity greater than or equal to half the apex intensity,
• determine a table of a plurality of Gaussian top-part ratio values, wherein each of the plurality of Gaussian top-part ratio values corresponds with a Gaussian offset ratio value,
• determine a Gaussian top-part ratio value based on an average intensity of the sequence of N data points over the apex intensity,
• determine a Gaussian offset ratio value based on the Gaussian top-part ratio value and the table.
