Key Features

The MS Extension brings the following features to the Clarity station:

  • MS Chromatogram window - standard Clarity Chromatogram window was modified to display the spectral information too. The graph pane now holds one more graph showing the spectrum at any given time or at a time span, which is noted in the top-right corner in the legend area.
  • MS Method - MS method allows the user to select the extracted signals on which the compounds will be identified and quantified. Each compound may use different reference signals, so that more than one compound may be identified in any part of the chromatogram.
  • Library search - Clarity MS Extension allows the user to use spectral libraries for peak identification and/or compound confirmation.
  • NIST Libraries - Clarity uses search mechanism provided by NIST MS Search program version 3.0.0.2 / year 2023 and by default installs NIST17 DEMO library for demonstration purposes. Clarity uses the NIST Library format for storing spectra, and works flawlessly with commercial NIST Libraries from year 2023 or older or those created by the user.
  • Automatic Compound Search - Clarity allows to search any selected signal automatically for the presence of spectra that are defined in the spectral library.

The following standard Clarity features will also help the user to make the best of the MS analysis in Clarity:

  • User calculations - the user can define custom calculations in the Result Table and Summary Table. With the use of the integrated editor you can create your own columns from the original ones and use individual mathematical functions.
  • Reports - user selectable report sections, WYSIWYG formatting of Graphs and Tables, and the possibility to report the spectral information for any peak in the chromatogram.
  • Batch - automatic batch processing, display, export or print of any number of chromatograms.
  • Summary Result Table - displays and prints selected results from all simultaneously displayed chromatograms.
