ClearView™ - GCMS reprocessing software - improving the analysis of trace compounds in complex real world samples

ClearView reprocesses stored GCMS data files dramatically improving the quantitative and qualitative analysis of trace compounds in real world samples. It is a perfect complement to Markes portfolio of analytical thermal desorption (TD) instrumentation for GCMS analysis of trace toxic and odorous compounds in air and materials. ClearView uses a sophisticated Dynamic Background Compensation (DBC) algorithm to distinguish between chromatographic peaks and GC-background/baseline anomalies in stored GCMS data files. The original data files are left intact and unaffected. The results of this innovative approach to background elimination are a dramatic improvement in both spectral purity and peak integration for trace compounds.  Key benefits include:

• Automatic/enhanced identification of trace target analytes and unknowns
  
• Simpler integration and improved repeatability
  
• Enhanced sensitivity
  
• No data loss – ClearView eliminates the contribution of background ions without compromising any of the mass spectral data relating to chromatographic peaks PLUS original GCMS data files remain intact and uncompromised
  
• Cost reduction and enhanced lab throughput

The software is fast, intuitive and works on most standard GCMS data file formats. (Contact Markes for details of applicable file formats.) Files can be processed individually or as a batch for optimum efficiency. Processing takes seconds per file.
All users of GCMS will benefit from ClearView irrespective of their application area – environmental monitoring, counter terrorism, forensic science, food/flavour/fragrance profiling, materials emissions testing, etc. The software is currently available at a special introductory price for a limited time only. A free demo disk is also available on request allowing potential users to evaluate the unique benefits of ClearView more thoroughly – Contact Markes for details.
