Each compound should be correctly identified.

15. If you are using another column for your application, repeat this procedure for

the next column.

16. Save the assay and then send it to

Updating the Calibration Curve

After you have updated the compound retention times you can also update the
calibration curve for each library compound. It is not necessary to update the
calibration curves, but multiple point calibration will provide the most accurate
response.

1. In the SiteChart software, select the

Assay

tab.

2. Select the column/detector combination required for your compound.

Ensure your compound is already listed in the library.
