Fraction purity measuring apparatus for chromatogram peak

Abstract

A detection signal from a multi-wavelength detector provided in a liquid chromatograph is stored in a data storage part, and a chromatogram is formed from the stored data with respect to a specific wavelength, to detect a peak from the chromatogram. The spectrum at a top of the peak to be identified or a known spectrum of a component to be identified is used as a reference spectrum, to calculate the degree of coincidence between the spectrum at each position of the chromatogram peak and the reference spectrum as fraction purity at each position of the chromatogram peak. The calculated fraction purity values are classified in colors, for example, and displayed on a display part. Thus, it is possible to readily decide whether the measured peak consists of a single component or at least two components, and which time range consists of a single component.
