  • Publication number: 20230266288
    Abstract: In a chromatographic analyzer which performs a measurement on multiple compounds for each of the multiple samples, a data-analysis processor calculates, for each sample, multiple pieces of numerical information obtained by data analysis on multiple compounds, based on measurement data. A table creator creates a two-dimensional table by arranging sample identifier in one direction of the table and compound identifier in the other direction, and assigning numerical information obtained for a combination of one sample and one compound to a cell of the table corresponding to the combination. A cell selection receiver displays the table on a display screen and receives a selection of a cell or cells according to a user operation on the displayed table. A selected information outputter outputs or displays the numerical information in the selected cell(s) in a predetermined format along with the sample and compound identifiers corresponding to the cell(s).

  • Publication number: 20230266287
    Abstract: In a multi-analyte multi-component analysis, multiple kinds of numerical information are obtained for each sample as measurement and data-analysis results for multiple compounds. A threshold-based flag condition is set for each of two or more kinds of numerical information according to user operations. Multiple categories, each having a determination condition including the combination of the presence/absence of the flags corresponding to the two or more kinds of numerical information, are set according to user operations. For each sample-compound combination, each kind of numerical information is tested as to whether it satisfies the flag condition, and is flagged if it satisfies the condition. Each sample-compound combination is tested as to the presence/absence of the flags according to the determination condition of each category, to identify combinations belonging to any category.

  • Patent number: 10794880
    Abstract: Sequential identification numbers are automatically provided and undisplayed, constant, unique numbers are assigned to each event registered in an analysis condition setting table 100. Since correspondence information between the identification numbers and the unique numbers changes due to the reassignment of identification numbers when an event is deleted from the table, event identification numbers for each compound are changed by referring to the correspondence information on a compound information table. As a result, it is possible to avoid the misalignment of event identification numbers between both tables. In addition, when an instruction is given to coordinate the time information or m/z information on both tables, the information on one table is reflected on the other table in accordance with the identification numbers.

  • Patent number: 8260867
    Abstract: When an analysis is finished in the GC/MS 11, which is an analyzing apparatus, and a file including the data obtained by the analysis is created by the analysis data file creator 13, the file transfer processor 14 sends the file to the web server 2 by way of the intranet 4. The file transfer processor 22 converts the data received into a format capable of being posted on a web page and stores it in the memory 21, and simultaneously notifies the analysis unit 1 of a link address for reading it out. The e-mail creation processor 15 creates an e-mail with the link address in the body and sends it to a predetermined mail address. The user receives and opens the e-mail on the mailer 31 of the client terminal 3 and clicks a link address corresponding to the desired analysis data. In response to this operation, the web server 2 sends the corresponding data to the terminal 3, which allows the analysis data to be viewed by the web browser 32.
