Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make features of a sample easy to distinguish by indicating the height or area at each peak corresponding to the emerging time thereof and the angle vector computed in a pair of coordinate data. CONSTITUTION:A sample is made to flow to a flowcell F from a liquid chromatograph LC, analyzed with a spectroscope 3 being exposed to light from a light source 2 and the results are inputted into a photodiode array 4. Outputs of photodiodes 4 are inputted into a memory 7 at a specified time interval. An arithmetic processing circuit 8 computes the height or area at peaks from absorbance-time characteristic at a specified wavelength when each peak emerge. The angle in individual absorbance corresponding to the specified wavelength is computed from the vector thereof. Then, the angle and area are shown on a display 12 when each peak appears. For example, data of absorbance-wavelength- time is processed to be converted into an image in a three-dimensional manner as shown in the drawing B. Thus, separated components of the chromatograph can be patternized by qualitative and quantitative combination thereby facilitating the extraction of features of the sample.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chromatogram peak purity determination apparatus for accurately determining a peak purity at a high concentration. SOLUTION: The three-dimensional chromatogram peak purity determination apparatus for a retention time, a wavelength and the absorbance comprises: an absorbance accumulation means 71 for accumulating the absorbance in the entire or partial wavelength range for a predetermined retention time range at a retention time in the wavelength direction; an equal absorbance accumulation value group extracting means 73 for extracting a plurality of groups including one point on a rising slope and one point on a falling slope on which absorbance accumulation values are equal with regard to a peak of a two-dimensional chromatogram of the absorbance accumulation value and the retention time; a similarity calculation means 74 for calculating the similarity between absorption spectrum at one point on the rising slope and absorption spectrum at one point on the falling slope in each extracted group; and a determination means 76 for determining whether the peak is a single component from the similarity calculated by a plurality of the extracted groups. Since the spectrum similarity between the high concentration and the low concentration is not compared, an effect for degrading the linearity at the high concentration does not impact. The peak purity can be accurately determined at the high concentration. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Then, on the basis of the classification of each of the selected hierarchies, corresponding folders and documents are displayed by a tree format. Thus, it is possible to freely change a hierarchical structure which is used to be fixed in a conventional manner. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make it possible to accurately identify other peak even if the holding time of reference peak fluctuates by employing some peak extraction means and determining relevant peaks for all extracting means being employed. CONSTITUTION:A standard holding time tR and an allowance DELTAtR are set for a reference peak and then a standard value and an allowable width are set for the area of standard peak. Similarly, an allowance SR of analogy is set between the spectrum of reference peak and a standard spectrum. Upon finishing the setting, analysis is started with chromatograph. Upon finishing the analysis, peaks Pi within the set allowance are picked up. Subsequently, peaks Pi within the set allowance of peak area are picked up and the spectral analogy Si of the peak Pi with the reference peak is determined thus determining the peak PK satisfying the relationship Si>SR. When more than one PK is present, the remaining peak PK is employed as a reference peak in the calculation of other relative holding time thus indentifying other peak.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To automatically set the change tolerant width of the holding time of the peak of an objective component by calculating the mean value and standard deviation of the holding times of the peak of the objective component from a plurality of chromatograms obtained from the same standard sample. CONSTITUTION:At first, a necessary amount of a standard sample is analyzed and chromatogram data are stored in a memory and the stored chromatogram data are allowed to load to be displayed on a CRT 14 and the peak of an objective component is designated using a cursor on the CRT 14. The mean value X and standard deviation sigma of the holding times are calculated from a plurality of data with respect to the designated peak by a CPU 8. From the calculated values, a holding time X+nsigma (n is coefficient, for example, 3 and nsigma is change tolerant width) is automatically set as the identified parameter of the objective component. Next, an unknown sample is measured. From the chromatogram of the analytical result of the unknown sample, the peak nearest to the mean value X within the range of X+nsigma is identified as the objective component by the CPU 8 and the quantifying calculation of the peak is also carried out.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To securely judge the reliability of measurement by using at least two similar spectrum patterns and calculating a criterion from a specific equation. CONSTITUTION:A noise vector n which contains a noise component detected by a detector at the time of relative intensity group detection as an element is set previously, and this noise vector n and two similar spectrum vectors s1 and s2 are used to find the criterion (t) from the equation. Then when he influence of noise vectors contained at the time of detecting a cosine value (r) determined by the vectors s1 and s2 with respect to the vectors s1 and s2 is considered at a maximum, the value (r) is compared with the cosine value (t) of a maximum permissible included angle and when r>=t, it is decided that the two spectrum patterns conform with each other. Thus, the limit of the discrimination of the consistency between similar spectrums can be represented numerically, so the reliability of measurement is securely judged.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To efficiently prevent the generation of the error of a detection value based on the variation in the dark signal of a photodiode array (FDA) or that in the brightness of a light source, by thermostatically holding FDA to stabilize the dark signal. CONSTITUTION:At first, because FDA and a diode 7 are mounted in the same thermostatic container 8, both of them are respectively held to a constant temp. of 30 deg.C. When an irradiation light path is closed by a blocking plate 61, the outputs, that is, the dark signals of 501 respective elements of FDA5 are detected and subjected to A/D conversion by an A/D converter 92 to be stored in a calculation part 93. Subsequently, when the light path is opened by the blocking plate 61, irradiated light is transmitted through a flow cell 2 to be spectrally diffracted by a diffraction lattice 4 and detected by FDA5 and a part thereof is detected by the diode 71. In this case, the outputs of 501 elements at the point of time (t) are respectively stored in the memory of the calculation part 93 and, at the same time, the intensity of irradiated light is detected by the diode 71 to be stored similarly. These data are calculated on the basis of a predetermined formula and the absorbancy of a specimen at the detection time (t) is calculated for each wavelength.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To certainly sample an objective component regardless of a condition such as a holding time or peak sequence by preliminarily storing the spectrum data of a component to be sampled and comparing the same with the spectrum data of an analyzed outflow component. CONSTITUTION:After a mobile phase is sent to a column 1 and a sample is injected in a sample injection part 8, the absorption spectrum data of the eluate of the column 1 is read in a buffer memory MB. A comparing operation part C performs the comparing operation of said data and the adsorption spectrum data of an objective component stored in a reference data memory MS. The calculated value of the degree of coincidence is compared with the judging level stored in a judging level memory part J and, based on whether said value is larger than the judging level, a three-way valve 3 is changed over to a sampling container 4 or a drainage receiver 5. As mentioned above, since the outflow component of a chromatograph and the objected component are identified and the outflow component regarded as a substance of the same kind is sampled, the objective component can be certainly sampled even when a holding time is shifted or the peak of impurity appears on the way.
