Key Features

The MS Extension brings the following features to the Clarity station:

• MS Chromatogram window - Standard Clarity Chromatogram window was modified to additionally display the spectral information. The graph pane now holds one more graph showing the spectrum at any given time or at a time span, which is noted in the top-right corner in the legend area.
• MS Method – The MS method defines which extracted ion signals are used for compound identification and quantification. Each compound can have its own reference signals, enabling the detection of multiple compounds within the same retention time.
• Library search - Clarity MS Extension allows the user to use spectral libraries for peak identification and/or compound confirmation.
• NIST Libraries – Clarity uses the search mechanism of the NIST MS Search program (version 3.0.0.2, year 2023) and by default installs the NIST17 DEMO library for demonstration. It supports the NIST Library format for storing spectra and works seamlessly with commercial NIST Libraries (2023 or older) as well as with user-created libraries in the same format.
• Automatic Compound Search - Clarity allows to search any selected signal automatically for the presence of spectra that are defined in the spectral library.

The following standard Clarity features will also help the user to make the best of the MS analysis in Clarity:

• User Columns - the user can define custom calculations in the Result Table and Summary Table. With the use of the integrated editor you can create your own columns from the original ones and use individual mathematical functions.
• Reports - user selectable report sections, WYSIWYG formatting of graphs and tables and the possibility to report the spectral information for any peak in the chromatogram.
• Batch - automatic batch processing, display, export or print of any number of chromatograms.
• Summary Result Table - displays and prints selected results from all simultaneously displayed chromatograms.
