The integrated peak areas andpeak heights are calculated andincluded in the peak table but thechromatogram has not yet beenquantified by reference to acalibration curve. The dialoguebox provides a means of quicklyre-scaling the axes of thechromatogram if required.
Selecting a ComponentIntegration parameters are rapidly accessed for change, using a dialoguebox that allows individual parameters in the integration process to bemodified. By selecting a component in the peak table it is instantlyidentified in the graphical display, using a colour infill, so that peak startand end points, using the current integration parameters can be viewedand quickly optimised. The four components of the chromatogram areidentified and named in the component table. Peak number 3 (pyrene)has been quantified by reference to a calibration curve.

Very high speed scanning of eluting peaks, "on thefly", makes purity checks, the determination ofoptimum monitoring wavelengths for unfamiliar peaks(lambda max scans), and component identification ofpeaks using library spectra all possible, withconsiderable cost saving.

detector, therefore has a double cost advantage.
Spectral data is transferred by DataStream software toa PC workstation for spectral manipulation andprocessing. The software offers library facilities andthe export of data. All data may be stored on disk.
Fast Scans of Narrow PeaksThe ultra high speed scanning of the CE4300 is shown. A very fast binaryseparation was carried out, on a Cecilgradient elution system 4S, of sixteenpolyaromatic hydrocarbons, designatedby Protection Agency as priority pollutants.
The time for the elution was less than 4minutes, using a 5cm column with a 3micron packing.
Several of the peaks have widths athalf height less than 1.5 seconds. Thespectra of all peaks are displayed inreal time and are shown hereoverlayed in groups of four.
Peak Impurities RevealedThis chromatogram appears to be athree component mixture.
Purity checks were made with ultra fast "on-the-fly" scans on theascending and descending sides ofeach peak. Peaks 1 and 2 gaveidentical spectral scans on each side,but peak 3 gave totally differentspectra from its two sides indicating amajor impurity producing the scanshown in red. Scans were comparedby normalising and overlaying.
Despite the impurity, peak 3 appearsvisually symmetric and it's calculatedasymmetry factor was close to 1.00.
Compound IdentificationThe identity of the 16 peaks in the chromatogram shown was carried out by comparing the spectra with reference libraryspectra, which had been previously scanned and stored in the spectral library facility of the Adept System 4S used.
The spectrum from the reference library which matched the spectrum of peak 8, is shown and is then superimposedon the scan of peak 8. Clearly there is a close match and a programmed calculation of the match, or similarity, gavea match index of 996.5 as shown.
Excel ent Analytical PrecisionThe excellent precision of AdeptGradient System 4S, which uses theWaveQuest CE 4300 Ultra fastscanning detector is demonstrated byseven repeat injections and elutions ofa soft drink.
The results are shown here in overlay,each chromatogram being offset by50mA. The phosphate buffer :methanol baseline was recorded first,and is shown on this plot.
The result for the component Caffeineis shown in a summary reportcomment. This shows excellentreproducibility of 0.33% RSD.
Simultaneous 4 Wavelength MonitoringThe traces shown here were obtainedby wavelengths simultaneously for a tenminute period of an elution.
The experiment was carried out usinga Cecil Adept System 4 with aWaveQuest, CE 4300, UV-Visibledetector in its variable wavelengthdetector mode.
The very fast operating speed of thedetector results in excellent qualitypeaks, captured in real time byDataStream, shown here in overlay.
This mode of operation is alsoavailable on the CE 4200 detector.
