Assay Wizard
Assay Wizard is displayed when opening an assay that contains multiple peaks with
similar retention times. Assay Wizard will allow you to select one compound, in the
co-elution, for your application. Assay Wizard will only appear if a co-elution has
been identified in your assay.
1. Select the Assay tab and open your assay (Ctrl + O).
If the assay contains co-elutions, Assay Wizard opens.
Step 1 of the wizard provides information about the assay.
2. Click Continue to go to the next step.
If you click Cancel , Assay Wizard will not modify your library and your
compounds of interest may be misidentified or concentrations may be
inaccurate.
Assay Wizard now scans the library, looking for compounds with similar
retention times. When it finds something it prompts you to pick one of the
compounds.
3. Select the required compound.
If neither of the displayed compounds is required for your application, then
click
None .
4. Click Continue to move to the next co-elution.
NOTE: As you move through Assay Wizard, remember the compounds that you do not select
are possible interferences.
When Assay Wizard finishes, it will update all the column libraries accordingly and
will remove the unwanted compounds from the libraries. If there is a chance that any
of these compounds may be present at any time, then you must abort Assay Wizard
and leave the compounds in the library.
Compound names are limited to 15 characters in order to fit Explorer’s display.
Some names have been abbreviated in order to meet the 15-character limit. Refer
to the assay notes for a list of abbreviations.
