Hi guys, I have trying to get a straight answer from Waters on how to calculate the S/N for a peak using the same area from a blank chromatogram and not from the same chromatogram, and I have had no success understanding them. COuld anyone explain how to do this to me? Thank you

Empower 2 allows EP S/N calculation using a blank, you will need to create a custom field.
It has the exact steps in the Help section of the software.

Hi Shadow...please feel free to try this out:

This will help greatly with the s/n calculation in Empower 2, whichever way you want to do the calculation. The Empower 3 has cleared this up greatly...apologies if you don't have that version, we just got it a while ago ourselves.
Best Wishes!

Badger,
My honest apologies, I am a nitwit.
Excellent Link!
I'll make a concerted effort to read the Entire Thread in Future.
