Abstract: A method for characterizing a sample is disclosed, having the following steps: providing at least one analysis result having a plurality of values, wherein the analysis result was generated by the analysis of a sample by at least one analysis method; determining the value of at least one mathematic relation between at least two values of the plurality of values; generating a characterizing signature of the sample on the basis of the value of the at least one mathematic relation. Furthermore, a method for characterizing a system is disclosed in which method the preceding method is used.

Abstract: Provided is a method for supplementing a sample with specific information. This method includes the following steps: intrinsically marking a sample by adding a chemical marker having a defined composition to the sample; storing data reflecting the composition of the chemical marker and information assigned to the chemical marker, wherein this marker-assigned information is not related to the composition of the chemical marker itself; analyzing the sample with an analysis method, wherein the analysis method is suited to detect the composition of the chemical marker, to obtain a marker-related result; comparing the marker-related result with the stored data; and assigning the marker-assigned stored information to the sample based on the preceding comparison.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method which allows for an automatic substance identification on the basis of an NMR spectrum. In the scope of the method, determining a multitude of integral ratio values, in each case from at least two integral values of the NMR spectrum, takes place, wherein each integral ratio value specifies the ratio of the height and/or area of the underlying spectral values, and determining a multitude of distance values, in each case from at least two position values of the NMR spectrum, takes place, wherein each distance value specifies the spectral distance between the underlying spectral values. The integral ratio values and the distance values are then used for substance identification.
