Tip #237: Creating a Process Only Sample Set

In this tip, we will learn how to create a Process Only Sample Set.

There are times when taking previously acquired data and processing them as a group is desirable, particularly when doing content uniformity or dissolution. You can combine Sample Sets, Injections or Channels into a Process Only Sample Set, then process and generate a Result Set.

In this example we want to create a Process Only Sample set using previously acquired channels of data from a stability study. Very specifically, we want to combine channels from weeks 9 and 10 which live in two different Sample Sets.

STEP 1

Highlight the Sample Sets of interest, right click, and select ‘View As, Channels’.

STEP 2

Highlight the channels of interest, right click, and select ‘Create Process Only Sample Set’.

STEP 3

Enter a name for the Process Only Sample Set and click ‘OK’.

STEP 4

A window opens, similar to the Alter Sample window. Add any needed information and/or make any necessary changes. Save all changes.

STEP 5

You will be required to enter a comment.

STEP 6

On the Sample Sets tab of the project, create a View Filter that contains the ‘Sample Set Type’ field. Now you can see which Sample Sets were acquired in the normal fashion and which ones are Process Only Sample Sets.
