The Results tables on the Process and Review page display information about the components identified in your oligonucleotide analysis experiment, including identifications, modifications, sequence information, retention times, and more. Selecting a component row in a Results table populates the other panes on the Process and Review page with information related to the selected component.
Procedure
- Open the results of your experiment from the Queue page or from the Load Results page.
- See Open results.
- The Process and Review page opens by default and displays the results of your oligonucleotide analysis experiment, including one or more Results tables:
- Charge State Results: Displays charge-state specific results for each component found in the analysis. The type of information displayed in this table depends on the processing method task selected for the experiment.
- See Charge State Results/Consolidated Results for "Find All Masses" table parameters.
- See Charge State Results for "Find All Masses" table parameters.
- Consolidated Results: Combines multiple charge states for a found mass into a single entry in the table. This table is produced when you select the “Find All Masses in the Run” processing method task on the Identification subpage of the Parameters page and contains the same columns as the Charge State Results table for all other tasks. When you select a component row in the Consolidated Results table, the associated charge state results appear in the adjacent Charge State Results table.
- See Charge State Results/Consolidated Results for "Find All Masses" table parameters.
- Theoretical Digestion Results: Displays theoretical digestion results. This table is produced when you enable the Theoretical Digestion and Alias Naming feature on the Customize Results subpage of the Parameters page.
- See Theoretical Digestion Results table parameters.
NOTE
When you select the “Find All Masses in the Run” task on the Component Detection subpage of the Parameters page, the columns in the resulting Charge State Results table are different than the Charge State Results table for all other tasks.
There are three Results tables generated for an oligonucleotide analysis experiment using the "Find All Masses in the Run" task: (1) Consolidated Results, (2) Charge State Results, and (3) Theoretical Digestion Results (if enabled).
For an oligonucleotide analysis experiment using any other task type, two Results tables are generated: (1) Charge State Results and (2) Theoretical Digestion Results (if enabled).
The Consolidated Results table (for "Find All Masses in the Run") and the Charge State Results table (for all other task types) are very similar. The Charge State Results table for the "Find All Masses in the Run" task contains unique task-specific information. The Theoretical Digestion Results table contains the same type of information for every task type for oligonucleotide analysis.
- All Results tables are organized by components at the upper level and by raw data files at the lower level.
- By default, the table displays results at the component level (top-level data).
- In the Results pane, select the tab for the Results table you want to view.
- Select a component row in the table to populate the other panes in on the Process and Review page with information related to the selected component.
- If your analysis contains multiple raw data files, you can view results related to a specific raw data file for each component (lower-level data). Select the plus icon (+) in the left margin of a component row to display the component information at the raw data file level.
- You can change the reference condition used in the Results table as necessary.
- See Change the reference condition.
- You can export the Results table as a Microsoft™ Excel™ workbook (.xlsx), text file (.csv), or BioPharma Finder (.bpf) file.
- See Export the Results table.
TIP
On the Process and Review page, you can use real-time optimization to quickly change processing method parameters and update the data in the Results tables.
