Open-Lab CDS 2.3 version

I'm not too much into CDSes, since I'm responsible for detector hardware only, but this seems to be the correct service note. This is an "Information only" one, so it can be distributed to customers who need it.

Service Note Number: OpenLAB CDS-017B Supersedes: True

Title: Different Peak areas and heights in EZChrom CDS and OpenLAB CDS 2.x

Summary:
This service note outlines the impact of peak area and height result deviations between EZChrom and CDS 2.x and how to
adjust the CDS 2.x results for better comparison with EZChrom results.
Compared to the previous service note release, this update introduces the RID scaling factor and corrects the FLD's unit.

Parts Required:

Situation:
An analysis done by CDS 2.x results in different peak areas and heights compared to EZChrom Elite and OpenLAB CDS
EZChrom edition. While calibrated results, Area% and Height% are not affected, absolute peak areas and heights differ by
detector dependent scaling factors in case you analyze the same sample with the same method in both CDSs.
Also, when you import EZChrom data into CDS 2.x, the EZChrom units for peak area and peak height are maintained and
differ from the results from samples being analyzed directly by CDS 2.x

Solution/Action:
Using the 2.x Intelligent Reporting or Custom Calculation, a detector dependent scaling factor can be applied in order to
adjust the CDS 2.x results for better comparison.
Scaled areas/heights with detector specific units can be obtained by multiplying the unit-less EZChrom “counts” by the
matching detector specific scaling factor.
Peak Height [CDS 2.x] = Peak Height [EZChrom] * Scaling factor
Peak Area [CDS 2.x] = Peak Area [EZChrom] * Scaling factor
Likewise, unscaled areas/heights, i.e. detector counts, can be obtained by dividing the CDS 2.x data by the scaling factor.
Peak Height [EZChrom] = Peak Height [CDS 2.x] / Scaling factor
Peak Area [EZChrom] = Peak Area [CDS 2.x] / Scaling factor
In order to obtain CDS 2.x equivalent values for GC signals in the appropriate scale for each detector, the reported value in
EZChrom must be divided by 7680 for all detector types. This is based on the GC Least Significant Value (1/7680), i.e. the
scaling factor to put into the formulas is 1/7680.
For Agilent LC detector signals the scaling factors used to transform Peak Area and Height from counts to detector units are
as follows:

I thought it might be useful to have these scaling factors in a custom calculation file.  So here it is attached to this reply.

Here's one of the calculations just as an example:

All you need to do is place this in the methods folder of your OpenLab CDS project and reference it in the processing method in Data Analysis.

Processing the injections now includes calculation of the areas that would have been observed in EZChrom

If you don't want all of the calculations, simply disable the one(s) in the calculation file that you don't want to see in the Injection Results window.

...all of the usual small print applies...
