MassHunter 4.3 Action on Failure options

Question

Hello,

We have 2 ICP-MS instruments running MassHunter 4.3 (G7201C, Ver C.01.03, Build 505.6, Patch1) and I have a question about Action on Failure options. There are four simple actions available to execute for out of range QC checks. These are;

Ignore and Continue
Abort
Run Blank and Continue
Recalibrate and Continue

There are many instances where a simple rerun of the sample is preferable. Has this option has been added to MassHunter 4.4 or any subsequent patches? If not, is that something that can that can be added to the list of planned updates?

Thank you!

Hi David,

this option exists already in MH 4.3 and is called Intelligent Sequencing. It is an additional software package, not included in basic MH. You can buy a license key and unlock its features.

This is a very powerful software tool which increases automation and error handling. WIth Intelligent Sequencing, you get a lot more possible error actions including all kinds of "repeat sample" like repeat sample after running a blank block, the calibration block, all samples since the last successful QC etc.

It also gives you the possibility to define different error action depending on how far the measured values differs from the expected value, if the sample or QC failed the first time, second time, third time...

And it lets you define your own sample types with different properties!
