Setting Parameters for Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative analysis provides information about which elements are included in the
sample. It is very useful for pre-screening unknown samples. ChemStation scans
through all masses (2-260AMU), and gives you a quick visual indication of what
elements are present in the sample. It is useful when choosing internal standards,
because you can easily confirm that your internal standard choices are not already
present in the sample.
To create a method for qualitative analysis, complete the following steps:
1 Click the Mass Scale from the Masses (left top) box.
The Masses dialog box screen will appear.
Masses Dialog Box (Mass Scale)
2 Click Clear All.
ChemStation clears any masses selected in the default method. The mass scale
display now appears empty.
Double-clicking the right mouse button on a row also clears all masses for that row.
