SST Properties - Parameters

The parameters to be displayed in the Parameters Table and used in a validation are defined by selecting individual items in the SST Properties - Parameters dialog.

SST Properties - Parameters

Parameters are included or excluded from a validation by checking/unchecking the corresponding checkbox. The list of parameters used in the validation is a part of the SST method file.

Note:

Selecting or deselecting a parameter in the SST Properties - Parameters tab can be replaced by double-clicking on the header of the respective column in the Parameters Table. Show All Columns option must be enabled to switch the parameter on and off this way.

Note:

Mathematical formulas for parameter calculation according to selected methods can be found in the chapter "Appendix - Mathematical Formulas".

Set Parameter for All Components

This checkbox governs whether the list of used parameters will be applied to all validated components or only to the currently selected component (= component highlighted in the Component Table).

Retention Time

Validates the retention time of the component.

Area

Validates the peak area of the component.

Height

Validates the peak height of the component.

Amount

Validates the amount of the component.

Width 05

Validates the peak width of the component peak at half its height.

Asymmetry

Validates the asymmetry of the component peak.

Symmetry/Tailing

Validates the symmetry of the component peak.

Capacity

Validates the capacity ratio of the component.

Efficiency

Validates the column efficiency counted from the component.

Efficiency/Length

Validates the column efficiency related to the column length counted from the component.

HETP

Validates the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) of the component.

Resolution

Validates the resolution relating to the previous integrated peak (even non-calibrated one) of the component peak.

Note:

The Efficiency, Efficiency/Length, HETP and Resolution parameter values depend on the selected calculation method that is set in the Calculate By tab. The formulas for these parameters/calculation methods are described in the chapter "Appendix - Mathematical Formulas".

Amount %

Validates the percentage amount of the component.

Response

Validates the response of the component peak, as set in the Calibration using the Response Base (RB) column.
