[0002] In the field of modern biomedicine and chemical analysis, high-throughput analysis technology plays a vital role. This technology can process large batches of samples and quickly complete data collection, analysis and interpretation, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of experiments.

[0003] Currently, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is commonly used for high-throughput analysis. In this technology, samples are first separated by liquid chromatography and then detected and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Chromatographic separation can be based on the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the compound, while mass spectrometry detection depends on the mass-to-charge ratio of the compound and the intensity of the ion signal.

[0004] Although liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is widely used in multi-sample analysis, it still faces some challenges when processing extremely large samples. For example, when screening samples, it is difficult to automate operations according to screening requirements and analysis scenarios, resulting in low efficiency in the final sample analysis.

Then, the high-throughput analysis system calculates the sum of the areas of all UV peaks as a normalized reference value. The high-throughput analysis system calculates the relative content percentage of each target compound by the ratio of the area of ​​a single UV peak to the total area of ​​all UV peaks. Finally, the high-throughput analysis system converts the calculation results into an intuitive target compound proportion pie chart, in which the angle and area of ​​the sector in the target compound proportion pie chart are proportional to the relative content percentage of the target compound.

Next, the high-throughput analysis system maps the numerical value of the target generated mass spectrum peak area to the selected color space according to the target generated mass spectrum peak area list.
