For intact mass analysis experiments with multiple loaded raw data files, you can run the experiment using either of these result formats:

  • The Batch Processing format maintains separate results for each of the multiple raw data files.
  • In this format, the application processes an individual experiment for each loaded raw data file so that you can process multiple experiments at a time but retain individual results. For the name for each batch experiment, the application concatenates the specified experiment name on the Intact Mass Analysis page with a unique date-and-time stamp. The results for each batch experiment are the same as if you ran an experiment with a single raw data file.

NOTE

You cannot use the Batch results format when running intact mass analysis experiments in Manual mode.

You can run Batch experiments only in Automatic mode.

See Processing modes: Manual vs. Automatic.

  • The Multiconsensus format merges together the results from multiple raw data files.
  • In this format, the application processes one experiment and merges the deconvolution results from all of the loaded raw data files together. By default, the name of this multiconsensus experiment uses the same name as the specified experiment name on the Intact Mass Analysis page.
