Clarity PDA operation

Basic operating principles for the work on Clarity Instruments configured on use with PDA Extension are described in this chapter. Only topics specific to PDA mode are discussed here, refer to the Clarity User Guide for detailed description of operations in standard mode.

The typical workflow for somebody working with routine analyses should consist of:

Preparation of the PDA Method

Setting PDA Instrument

Extracting chromatogram signal from PDA data

PDA Libraries

Creating PDA Method

Note:

If you have not acquired any PDA data yet and want to try out the functionality of the PDA Extension first, simply open the Demo_PDA project

Routine measurements

Routine measurements will work the same as in standard Clarity, performing the integration and identification of peaks automatically, connecting the calibration and showing the results. No significant changes of the workflow are expected compared to non-PDA chromatography.

Additionally, user of the Clarity PDA Extension might want to perform other actions such as Importing PDA Chromatogram, Creating and filling your own library and Managing PDA Library.
