True Deconvolution using AMDIS

• Automatic Mass spectral Deconvolution and Identification Software

– All spectra are deconvoluted not just those selected– All spectra are deconvoluted, not just those selected by the user

– Identification is based on full spectral matching

– User does not have to “pick” ions

– More confidence in result using all ions

– Published algorithims, not proprietary

– Accepted for world-wide use

What can you do with a full spectrum component ?

• Identification by matching against an AMDIS user library- Locked RT or RI can also be part of the library entryp y y

• Send to NIST Search for additional confirmation– All components can be NIST searched, not just target compounds

• Add to an existing library

• Build a user library of deconvoluted components, in NIST, AMDIS or Agilent formatsg

• Component spectra are flat files that can easily be shared or edited

• Full spectrum graphics output confirms compound for reports– Often required by government agencies and courts (drugs)

DRS User Benefits, Time = $$$

Ease of use – no need to learn deconvolution software

Automation – part of a method or part of a sequence, analyst can be doing other things

Quality lt t bj t t h iQuality – program results are not subject to changes inmood/attention” of analyst

Sensitivity – AMDIS will find answers that an analyst y ymight miss

Confidence – DRS will report the fewest false positiveand false negatives in the shortest timeand false negatives in the shortest time
