Adding analyte information

Requirement: Follow your organization's standard operating procedures when naming analytes and groups.

To add analyte information to your processing method:

  1. In the sidebar, click Analytes.
  2. On the Analytes page, select the Analytes tab.
  3. To add a new analyte, click .
  4. 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.
  5. To change the internal standard details, use the Linked Internal Standards drop-down menu.
    Notes:
  6. 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.
  7. To add an additional precursor mass, in the Precursor Mass cell, click .
  8. To add a new product mass, in the Product Mass cell, click .
  9. To add more analytes, click .
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. To save your analyte information, in the upper-right corner, click .
