Adding analyte information
Requirement: Follow your organization's standard operating procedures when naming analytes and groups.
To add analyte information to your processing method:
- In the sidebar, click Analytes.
- On the Analytes page, select the Analytes tab.
- To add a new analyte, click
.
- To add the analyte name, expected retention time, precursor mass, or product mass details, click the relevant cell and specify the details.
Tip: Using the Tab key also switches between cells.
- To change the internal standard details, use the
Linked Internal Standards drop-down menu.
Notes:
- You can do this only after internal standard details are added to the method.
- Internal standards that are linked to another internal standard are not available for selection (see "Adding internal standard information", step 5).
- To change the reference compound details, use the
Calibration Reference Compound drop-down menu.
Note: A compound using a calibration reference compound cannot then be used by another compound as a calibration reference, but an analyte can be the calibration reference compound for multiple analytes.
- To add an additional precursor mass, in the
Precursor Mass cell, click
.
- To add a new product mass, in the
Product Mass cell, click
.
- To add more analytes, click
.
- To delete a row, select the row, and then click
.
Note: To delete a precursor mass, click the mass of the precursor mass, click Delete precursor mass, and then click OK. - To group analytes together, select the rows you want, click
, specify a group name, and then click Assign.
Note: To ungroup analytes, select the group as above, and then click Clear. - To save your analyte information, in the upper-right corner, click
.
- To discard the changes, click
