The Labeling Status column in the Compounds table and the Status column in the Labeled Compounds per File table provide color-coded information about the quality of the analysis:
- Red (
): Indicates a contaminating mass in an unlabeled sample. - Blue (
): Indicates an irregular exchange rate for a labeled sample. - Orange (
): Indicates a low fit between the measured and fitted isotope patterns. - Gray (
): Indicates the absence of isotopologues for the detected compound.
A contaminating mass in an unlabeled sample is more problematic than an irregular exchange rate for a labeled sample. See Investigate a contaminating mass in an unlabeled sample.
