System and method for automated analysis of output and similar data sets in single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide suitable systems and methods for automated analysis of output in single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and similar data sets.SOLUTION: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for automated analysis of spectrometry data corresponding to particles of a sample, such as large data sets obtained during single particle mode analysis of an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (SP-ICP-MS). Techniques are presented herein that provide appropriate smoothing for rapid data processing without an accompanying reduction (or with an acceptably negligible reduction) in accuracy and/or precision.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
