Patent ID: 10254258

Abstract:
A two-dimensional chromatogram creator creates a two-dimensional chromatogram based on data collected by a comprehensive two-dimensional GC/MS analysis. An extraction condition conformity determiner determines whether or not each MS/MS spectrum obtained through the analysis conforms to a compound extraction condition previously stored in a storage section, such as the presence of a specific peak on the MS/MS spectrum. Each spectrum which conforms to the condition is extracted. This spectrum is most likely to reflect a partial structure of a compound in which an analysis operator is interested. Accordingly, a condition conformity information superposing displayer displays a marker whose appearance varies according to the compound extraction condition, at a position corresponding to the retention time of the extracted spectrum on the two-dimensional chromatogram. On this two-dimensional chromatogram, the analysis operator can intuitively understand whether or not the compound of interest is present and where this compound is located.
