Can I detect hidden or co-eluting peaks (using GC-MS) using OpenLab CDS only without addition DRS software?

We have problems detecting hidden and/or co-eluting peaks using GC-MS with OpenLab CDS software only., Do we need addition software such as DRS? How can we solve the problems without any addition software?

  • Hello,

    You might want to take a look at MS Peak Purity in CDS. It is not a fully featured deconvolution solution, but it does allow a determination of purity based on a predetermined process. If you have the NIST libraries as part of your installation, you also have the AMDIS software available as well.

    With MS peak purity you check a single peak for contaminations. Spectral deconvolution is used to determine other coeluting spectral signals. These coeluting compounds are then used to estimate the peak purity.

  • Thanks Martin and  ColeFunk for your comments,

    Yes we have tried as the suggestion of ColeFunk, but sometimes it does not work OK. I knew from Agilent that we should install DRS, but it means additional cost. That is why we prefer to use AMDIS, my question is: if we can separate the hidden or co-eluting peaks using AMDIS, can we transfer the data for quantitative analysis using OpenLab CDS software? Thanks a lot again for your comments.
