Empower Tip: Empower User Question Answered

In this week’s tip for Empower Chromatography Data System Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS), we will answer a question from an Empower User.

QUESTION:

Normally when I bring 3D PDA data into Review and integrate the chromatogram, the spectra for the integrated peaks automatically appear in Spectrum Review. Recently, I repeated these steps, and no spectra appeared. I needed to use the Extract Spectrum tool to manually view the spectra. Why is this happening?

Great question. Let’s find out.

If you are using a PDA Processing Method and integrate the peaks, the spectra for the peaks automatically appear in Spectrum Review. NOTE: the Info. field displays the Peak Name.

If you are using an LC Processing Method and integrate the peaks, the spectra will not appear in Spectrum Review.

If you are working with an LC Processing Method, you can use the Extract Spectrum tool to manually extract spectra for the peaks. NOTE: the Info. field displays Extracted.

It’s that easy!
