Totalchrome summary

[conesnail]

Does totalchrom only print summaries for named components? how about unidentified peaks? I have a chromatogram with 80-90 peaks and I would like to obtain the areas into excel, but it is only allowing me to sumarize data for those named components. Any help would be appreciated

From my Perkin Elmer support contact:

The standard TotalChrom summary report will only do summary on identified peaks. You need to use TCPublisher if you need to report unidentified peaks. The only problem is the peak name for all unidentified peak will be “ “. You will need to work on something to identify the peaks based on retention time. The problem is a peak a 1.15 and 1.16 min will be different peaks based on retention time.

If the user is trying to get the information into an EXCEL spreadsheet they could have a TCPublisher report do it for them and eliminate the extra step of going to EXCEL.
