ChemStation

[brendandamm]

This is probably one of the more dumber questions that is posted on this forum but I am STRUGGLING with the chemstation software. How can I get it to generate a report with every peak listed and their respective k', selectivity, efficiency and resolution? I have the performance report style selected and I have the column installed on the main screen but everytime I generate a report it only gives me the values for the compounds I have calibrated. So I can only really view the data for two peaks at the moment and some of data is incomplete. I hate ChemStation and this is killing me. Please help. I need the report to list every peak in the chromatogram, not just the calibrated compounds. Thanks

In report options find something like Report Layout for Uncalibrated Peaks.

We used to use Chemstation. To get these parameters I believe you must first name the peaks in the calibration table and then select the right report template. I think the one you want is extended performance.

I've gone from being somewhat expert on Chemstation A revisions to a rookie with Chemstation C revision....maybe somewhat because we never had revision B to stumble with....

Thanks guys. I feel like I have tried everything. The two main peaks of interest I have calibrated in my calibration table and I get results for those. But I want to be able to view the data for every peak that shows up in the chromatogram and that is what I'm struggling with. ChemStation SUCKS

You have to name the peaks to get the results you want. Every single one.

Maybe just make a bunch of analytes called "Unknown1, Unknown2, ect" in the calibration table junk calibration data in them. Then when you have peaks you want the k ' values for you just set their retention times to match up with an unknown and it should then print the extended report values on the report(minus a true concentration that is).
