Abstract
Techniques for displaying chromatographic data using a graphical user interface are provided. Chromatographic separation data that is a series of measurements for a sample at a scanning location over time can be displayed on a display device in a series of bands. Additionally, the series of bands for multiple samples can be aligned on the display device.
Claims27
A computer implemented method of displaying chromatographic separation data, comprising:
- receiving a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents in a sample at a scanning location over time;
- and
- displaying the series of measurements for the sample as a series of bands, the bands being arranged to resemble output from an electrophoresis gel.
A computer implemented method of displaying chromatographic separation data, comprising:
- receiving a series of measurements indicating presence of constituents in a sample at a scanning location over time, wherein the sample includes at least one marker and the series of measurements for the sample indicates presence of the at least one marker in the sample at a scanning location over time;
- displaying the series of measurements for the sample as a series of bands;
- and
- displaying bands that correspond to the constituents in the sample visually different than bands that correspond to the at least one marker.
