Chemstation general help/deconvolution

[b.gali]

Hi all,

I have a few questions to ask about Chemstation, Enhanced data analysis (E version...not beside it at the moment, so can't remember the rest of the code) and AMDIS deconvolution software. My project is developing a method to analyze 72 pesticides by Agilent GC/MS and detect them at their MRL.

1) Does anyone know how to make chemstation report percent recoveries for all 72 compounds in our spiked samples? Right now I am using my calibration curves to get the reported concentration and then figuring it out in excel, which isn't hard but hey, would be nicer.

2) I am a bit confused on how to make my deconvolution software from AMDIS work with Chemstation and possibly with NIST. I could really use a basic introduction to how to make those work.

3) A bit of a small question but a friend of mine said that in QEdit there is a keyboard short cut from an older version to flip between compounds that you are looking at, rather than clicking each next one. Going through all 72 peaks is starting to hurt my arm (pansy).

Thanks!

One version we have I think "Enter" (or is it down arrow? I do it without thinking about it!) moves you to the next compound. For the other version, double right click does it.
