Clarity PDA operation

This chapter describes the basic operating principles for working in Clarity with PDA Extension. Only topics specific to the PDA mode are discussed here; for a detailed description of standard operations, refer to the Clarity User Guide.

The typical workflow for individuals conducting routine analyses should include:

1. Preparation of the PDA Method

Setting PDA Instrument

Creating PDA Method

Extracting chromatogram signal from PDA data

PDA Libraries

Note:

If you have not acquired any PDA data yet and want to try out the functionality of the PDA Extension first, simply open the Demo_PDA project, as

2. Routine measurements

Routine measurements will work the same as in the standard Clarity. This includes performing the integration and identification of peaks automatically, connecting the calibration, and showing the results. No significant changes of the workflow are expected compared to the non-PDA chromatography.

Additionally, the user of the Clarity PDA Extension might want to perform other actions such as Importing PDA Chromatogram, Creating and filling your own library, and Managing PDA Library.
