Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the amount of data that your GCxGC analysis produces? Have you spent countless hours combing through data, searching for key sample set insights? Maybe the thought has crossed your mind – “there has got to be a better way.” Thanks to LECO, there is.
Expertly Designed Software
LECO has created powerful software tools designed to make GC and GCxGC data interpretation faster and easier than ever. LECO’s Pegasus® Series of GC-MS instruments come pre-loaded with ChromaTOF® software, offering features like automatic data saving, tools for absolute concentration of analytes based on calibration curves, importable workspace templates for reduced set-up times, and non-target peak finding with deconvolution for discovery work. But when your projects require comparing and connecting multiple samples, ChromaTOF Sync and ChromaTOF Tile software tools really shine.
ChromaTOF Sync and Sync 2D
ChromaTOF Sync and Sync 2D deliver comprehensive insights for non-targeted data analysis. ChromaTOF’s powerful peak-finding algorithms and deconvolution tools are extended with ChromaTOF Sync and Sync 2D to process multiple samples together, producing a single combined peak table for the sample set. With Sync and Sync 2D, you can uncover analyte similarities, differences, and trends across sample sets easier than ever before. You can read all about the ChromaTOF Sync 2D software in our recently released app note on aroma analysis of traditional Belgium beers.
ChromaTOF Tile
If you want to be able to rapidly compare GCxGC data to highlight differences between the samples, then ChromaTOF Tile is what you need. Chemical differentiators are easily and clearly defined with this user-friendly software, leading analysts to faster insights with higher confidence.
ChromaTOF Tile offers three different kinds of tests to provide results for different comparison goals and experimental designs: Fisher Ratio, Coefficient of Variation, and Fold Change. Each test uses a chromatographic tiling approach to connect and compare the raw data. These different options can uncover differences in a variety of scenarios – directly comparing two samples, unsupervised explorations, or focusing on specific class-differentiating features.
All in all, ChromaTOF Tile is your best friend when it comes to comparative analyses.
How Can These Software Tools Help AFF Labs Specifically?
For aroma, flavor, and fragrance labs, rapid and reliable results are key. Here are a few ways that LECO’s ChromaTOF suite could benefit AFF labs:
