Analytic Data Analyzer for Multicomponent GC-MS Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In simultaneous multicomponent analysis using GC-MS or LC-MS, it is cumbersome and inefficient for analysis operators to compare quantitative determination results and related information for the same compound across multiple execution windows, especially when measurements are performed under different conditions.
Innovation Solution
An analytic data analyzer and program that creates tables for each data file, allows component selection, searches for identical components across tables, and displays measurement and quantitative results, enabling efficient comparison of data from the same sample under different conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple execution windows are used to compare quantitative determination results under different measurement conditions, then the ability to perform comprehensive comparison is improved, but the operational complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple execution windows into a single integrated window where quantitative determination results from different measurement conditions are displayed together in a unified table structure. This allows operators to compare results across different conditions without manually switching between multiple windows, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining comprehensive comparison capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The software creates a universal comparison interface that can handle multiple measurement conditions and data types within a single execution window. The table structure is designed to universally display quantitative determination results regardless of the measurement condition, making the system multi-functional for comparing various datasets without requiring separate specialized windows for each condition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple execution windows are opened to analyze data from different measurement conditions, then the completeness of data comparison is improved, but the time required for analysis increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of data from different measurement conditions into a pre-structured table format before the operator needs to compare them. By automatically arranging quantitative determination results in a unified table with proper alignment and formatting, the software eliminates the time-consuming manual process of opening multiple windows and manually locating corresponding data, thus reducing analysis time while maintaining complete data comparison.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines data from multiple measurement conditions into a single integrated display within one execution window. This merging approach allows operators to view and compare all relevant data simultaneously without the time penalty of switching between multiple windows, thereby maintaining complete data comparison capability while significantly reducing the total analysis time required.
3Measurement precision
If conventional data processing software is used to compare quantitative results across different measurement conditions, then the measurement accuracy is maintained, but the operational efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the quantitative determination results from different measurement conditions and presents them in a unified table format within a single window. This copying approach allows operators to simultaneously view identical data structures from different conditions without actually duplicating the underlying data files or requiring multiple software instances, thereby maintaining measurement accuracy while improving analysis efficiency through streamlined access to all data.

AI summary
A quantitative analysis assistant program that creates a quantitative table showing the relationship of compounds, quantitative values and other related information for each of two data files A and B, and displays on each of the view areas “a” and “b”. The analysis operator specifies one compound in one of the quantitative tables. Then, the other quantitative table is automatically searched for a compound having a name identical to the specified compound. A chromatogram, mass spectrum and other related information corresponding to that compound and are based on data file B are displayed on the view area “b” along with the quantitative table. Then, measurement results corresponding to the compound based on data file A are displayed on view area “a” along with the quantitative table. A comparison of the measurement or quantitative determination results for the same component can be easily and efficiently performed in a simultaneous multicomponent analysis.
