Abstract: Disclosed herein are chromatography instrument support systems, as well as related apparatuses, methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, a chromatography instrument support apparatus may include: first logic to generate one or more peak locations for a chromatogram data set and to generate one or more baselines for the chromatogram data set, wherein an individual peak has an associated baseline, and wherein the first logic includes a machine-learning computational model that outputs estimated peak locations and estimated baselines; second logic to cause the display of the one or more peak locations and the one or more baselines concurrently with the display of the chromatogram data set; and third logic to, for individual peaks, generate an associated integrated value representing an area above the associated baseline and under a portion of the chromatogram data set corresponding to the individual peak.

Abstract: Methods, systems and GUIs for defining a sequence of analyzes for an analytical instrument using a workflow are described. A method includes receiving user inputs including workflow parameters for defining the sequence, and automatically defining the sequence for the analytical instrument based on the workflow parameters, including creating rules for the sequence. The rules are persistent for subsequent use of the sequence. The rules are defined by the user, e.g., an administrator, who creates or edits the workflow. The administrator can leave some choices available to operators who run the workflow, or can lock selections down.
