  • Publication number: 20240011956
    Abstract: An analysis system includes a separation system that provides compounds to a sample cell of a spectrometric system. The system analyzes spectral information from the spectrometric system by optimizing retention windows for the compounds and identifies quantities of the compounds by comparing spectral information within and outside the respective retention windows.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11680894
    Abstract: A process for identifying an unknown compound in a sample includes matching a peak in a primary Fourier Transform Infrared spectral region of the sample spectrum with reference spectra in the same spectral region to generate an initial list of potential candidates, based, for example on goodness of fit criteria. The initial list can be reduced by retention time information and/or global peak matching techniques that analyze the sample spectrum in regions outside the primary region.

  • Patent number: 11300503
    Abstract: A GC sample carbon ladder is generated with the help of one or more of the following techniques: correction of solvent effects; fit analysis of the spectrum obtained for a target member of the carbon ladder and a reference spectrum; fit analysis of a sample carbon ladder in comparison with reference spectral features; constraints for proper order of elution; and/or inclusion of all members in a selected carbon ladder set.

  • Patent number: 10656128
    Abstract: A method is provided for analyzing a sample and identifying species using chromatography and spectrometry. Possible candidate species to be used in a regression analysis are selected for consideration based on their retention indices in a chromatography column and peak locations in an infrared spectrum. By using such a selection process, the number of combinations of species to be used in the regression analysis can be significantly reduced. The species and respective concentrations in the sample are identified by using an iterative process with regression analysis and minimizing least squares errors between a sample spectrum and a computed spectrum associated with selected candidate species.
