Importing a method from TargetLynx XS

Notes:
  • When you transfer a processing method from TargetLynx XS to QUAN Review, the QUAN Review application does not support the relative thresholding. If you fail to update the processing method, the software may select different peaks compared with TargetLynx XS.
  • On the METHOD page, on the Processing tab, consider selecting Largest instead of Nearest for the peak selection for appropriate assays.
  • The QUAN Review application supports only absolute thresholding. If it is necessary to set a threshold, set this at an appropriate level for the running assay, for example, 15% of the LLMI of the assay (in line with CLSI guidance for blanks).

If you use TargetLynx XS and want to import a method from TargetLynx XS to the QUAN Review application:

  1. On the QUAN Review home page, click Import a method.
  2. To import the .mdb file, in the Select a method to import box, click .
    Note: The .mdb file contains the analyte information.
  3. From the list, click the method to import and click Open.
  4. To import the .spl file, in the Select a data set to import concentration levels into method box, click .
    Notes:
    • Only use the QUAN Review application to define or change the concentration levels after you import data. If concentrations are not defined for QC samples in the imported sample list, the expected concentrations will not appear in the QUAN Review application. Chromatograms for QC samples without assigned concentrations will not be available for review.
    • Inclusion of an .spl file is optional. If you continue without first selecting an .spl file, after creating the new method, you must manually update it.
  5. From the list, click the data set to import and click Open.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select the folder in which to save the method.
    Tip: You can create subfolders by clicking New folder.
    Requirement: Follow your organization's standard operating procedures when naming a folder.
  8. Optionally, in the description box, describe the method.
  9. Click Import with levels.
    Note: If the .spl file was not selected in step 4, click Import without levels.
  10. A new window appears with information about settings that cannot be imported. Read the warnings for more information and click Close.
    Your method now appears in the "Recent Methods" list to open or edit.
