Reporting

Intelligent Reporting

• State-of-the-art Intelligent Reporting is fully integrated into the ChemStation

and EZChrom allowing you to easily create standard or custom reports

• Report across runs for multiple instruments on the same report such as

instrument utilization

March 15, 2013 17

• Create various types of reports based on

the same data set

• Reports can include standard or advanced

result calculations

• View reports on-line, printed, or save to

files (e.g. PDF, MS Excel)

Intelligent Reporting Features

March 15, 2013 18

Integrated into EZChrom and ChemStation, the easy-to-use report template editor

allows you to create reports using simple drag-and-drop and configuration

operations.

Select a Report

Layout from the list of

pre-defined or custom

Configured templates.

1

View, Print, Save,

or customize your

report by selecting a

Report Item, then

dragging and dropping

the report item into the

editing pane.

2

From the WYSIWYG

editing pane, edit the

report title, add a logo,

reposition report items,

or edit the properties of

a report item.

Report Types

Easily create different reports using the same data:

• Chromatogram Reporting

– Reporting of one or multiple signals from one or multiple injections

– Overlay, separate or stacked layout

– Extensive signal scaling, grouping and labeling options

– Filtering of signals for sample names, signal names, etc.

• Reporting of Calibration Curves

– Plot of single curves per compound

– Overlay of curves from multiple compounds

– Various annotation options for the curve

• Reporting of Spectra

– Plots one to multiple spectra of a single peak or compound

– Select which peak spectra to show

• Method Development Report

– Summary table with overview of found peaks and the sum of peak resolution

– Summary bubble plot showing a graphical representation of the results

• Other Reporting Capabilities

– Single injection reports with chromatograms, spectra and calibration curves

– Sequence summary reports with statistics, calculations and trend chart reports

– Flagging of outliers or out of spec values

and the list goes on . . .
