Analysts

Getting started

About 15 minutes: example IFRA batch, Analyze, calibration, export report.

Set up an analysis

Bottle types, OpenLab .pmx, CalGroup, doses/fortified, report workbooks, Analyze.

Method design

Keys, CalGroup, Origin/blank corr, Method Validation, RecPct and limits.

CalGroup & standard addition

Group bottles that share a curve; Calibration vs StdAdd mode; vs Initial/Bracket.

ESTD initial calibration

External standard, multi-level, one curve.

Blank offset

Put blank response on the curve as intercept; Blank use; what you see after Analyze.

Blank concentration

Subtract blank concentration toward NativeConc; Blank use; vs Blank offset; Solvent notes.

ISTD initial calibration

Internal standard, ratios, dose IS.

Bracket calibration

Cal sets around samples, per-bracket curves.

Key Review

Multi-instrument AcqKeys, QntKeys, SmpKey pick.

Method Validation

Method-wide curves, recoveries, and limit flags after Analyze.

Result limits & flags

RecPct / DevPct / RecFlag, MinCurveR2, response and qualifier limits.

Multi-batch dose responses

Partial update of stored calibration levels.

Manual integration

PeakValues boundaries, host metrics, 2% filter, area threshold, override/restore.

Reports, import, and export

Vendor / .qtm in, Q. reports, Excel / PDF / method out.

Report formulas

Full Q.* catalog, named refs, HideIf* / ShowIfTrue, V* plots.

Sample metadata extraction

Add Samples Extraction table - RegEx to AcqKey / Type / Dose.

Grids: interact and configure

Column fill, sort, freeze, navigator.

Workspace and layouts

Default.qtl, dockable panels, limited shortcuts, Shift splash.

Troubleshooting

MSTree2/TDA, MH vs CS, SCIEX MRM, Auto mode, add-ins, license save.

Developers

Creating add-ins

Data provider, method importer, and integrator contracts; load folders and bootstrap.
