Data Analysis for Heartcutting 2D-LC (LC-LC)
For data-analysis of heart-cutting 2D-LC data OpenLAB CDS ChemStation edition
is usually fully sufficient.
Again, the data will be stored in one data-file. If more than one peak was analyzed
in the second dimension they will simply follow one after the other in a distance
of the second dimension run-time.
If a detector right after the first dimension column was used, e.g. as peak
detector for peak triggered operation, these data will be available as a second
data-trace.

Example of a heartcutting 2D-LC experiment. Data analysis and display done by
OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition, the data of a detector placed after the first
dimension column (blue) and of the 2D data detector (green). The additional impurities
(marked red) could not be detected by 1D-LC only.
