peak amount
Absolute amount of substance which is 
contained in the sample loop volume. It is 
the product of the absolute concentration 
C(i)
multiplied to the volume of the sample
loop.
The amount is displayed without unit in 
the report, pay attention to the order of 
magnitude of the displayed value! 
index
Linear or logarithmic retention index for 
identified components. 
Total value for the column is a weighted in-
dex average with absolute concentration as 
weight. 
I =
∑
{
(I
i
C
i
) /
∑
C

}
.
type
The types of components are designated 
by a one-letter code: 
R
Reference component (used for peak iden-
tification). 
S
Standard
component.
C
Calibration standard in the case it is differ-
ent from the quantification standard. 
?
Some points of corresponding peak are out 
of ADC or detector range – suspicious re-
sult. 
!
Component concentration is outside of 
minimum (
min C
) and maximum limits
(
max C
), set in the component table.
p
Special component (it has one of the spe-
cial flags checked on in the component 
window). 
N
The component response is outside of cali-
brated region. 
In the case of peaks additional letters pre-
cede the component type information, indi-
cating, how peaks are separated from other 
peaks, for example: 
BD_
Peak that starts on the baseline (
B
) and
ends on the drop line (
D
) that separates it
from another adjacent peak.
BBR
Special case of a rider (
R
) peak that is tan-
gentially separated from the main one. A 
main peak will have a third letter 
H
(horse)
in this case.
