Abstract

A chromatograph analyzing device for automatically executing a base line setting process on an unseparated peak using preset base line conditions. The chromatograph analyzing device comprises a separation unit for separating a component included in a sample, and a data processing device for identifying the component of the sample and the quantity of the component in the sample by using a chromatogram obtained from the separation.

Claims (21)

1. A chromatograph analyzing device comprising:

a separation unit for separating a component included in a sample,

a data processing device for identifying the component in the sample and the quantity of the component in the sample by using a chromatogram obtained from the separation unit, and;

a storage device for saving a base line setting condition including at least a sample waveform and at least an unseparated peak separating method for separating an unseparated peak of the chroinatograph into two peaks,

wherein the data processing device executes a base line setting process using the base line setting condition saved in the storage device,

to compare the detected unseparated peak with at least a sample waveform saved in said storage device,

to select a plurality of sample waveforms which are determined to be approximate to the unseparated peak or a sample waveform which is determined to be the most approximate to the unseparated peak,

to separate each selected sample waveform into two peaks using the specified separating method saved in the storage device, and

to calculate the areas of the two peaks of each separated sample waveform.

2. The chromatograph analyzing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the method for separating each of the sample waveforms can be newly and arbitrarily selected.

3. The chromatograph analyzing device according to claim 2 , wherein the selected method and the corresponding sample waveform can be added in the storage device.

4. The chromatograph analyzing device according to claim 1 , wherein an interval in the sample waveform for performing the separation method can be set.

5. A chromatograph analyzing method comprising the steps of:

separating a component included in a sample,

identifying the component in the sample and the quantity of the component in the sample by using a chromatogram obtained from the separation step,

saving a base line setting condition in a storage device, the base line setting condition including at least a sample waveform and at least an unseparated peak separating method for separating an unseparated peak of the chromatograph into two peaks; and

setting an interval in the sample waveform for performing the separation method,

wherein the identifying step includes a step of:

executing a base line setting process using the base line setting condition saved in the storage device, to compare the detected unseparated peak with at least a sample waveform saved in said storage device, to select a plurality of sample waveforms which are determined to be approximate to the unseparated peak or a sample waveform which is determined to be the most approximate to the unseparated peak,

to separate each selected sample waveform into two peaks using the specified separating method saved in the storage device and to calculate the areas of the two peaks of each separated sample waveform.
