Understanding Quantitation
Quantitation
Introduction
How does quantitation work in the MSD Productivity ChemStation?

This chapter guides you through the basic steps of creating a
quantitation database. These steps are a starting point for
becoming familiar with the software.
Once you are comfortable, try the Tutorial at the end of this
chapter, then experiment with creating a quantitation database
from your own data files. Use the online help for more
information about these features and how they work.
What does Quantitation do?
Quantitation identifies how much of a compound is in a
sample.
When is Quantitation done?
Quantitation is done during the last part of analyzing a
sample (after the compound is identified).
How is Quantitation done?
Quantitation is done by comparing the response from an
unknown amount of compound (the data extracted from a
run) with the response from a measured amount of the
compound (which is stored in the quantitation database).
The quantitation database will be discussed later on in this
document.
The following describes, in very general terms, how the
ChemStation determines how much of a compound is in a
sample. It is a two-part process.
Part 1—Data Acquisition
The first part of the process involves data acquisition, briefly
described below.
