The following table describes the information in the Results table on the Process and Review page.

Multiconsensus experiments contain three levels of results: Component, Raw data file, and Charge state.

NOTE

Batch experiments (or experiments with a single raw data file) with drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) feature enabled, also have three levels (Component, Raw Data File, and Charge State) and the Results table is similar to the Results table for a multiconsensus experiment. Refer to the table below for these types of experiments.

For drug-antibody ratio (DAR) enabled experiments, the Results table includes an additional column, Drug Load, which displays the drug load values for each component.

The Results table for an Intact Mass Analysis experiment with target sequence matching enabled contains several additional columns. See Additional Results table parameters for target sequence matching experiments.

In the table header, "Avg/RT" refers to Average Over Selected Retention Time, "Auto PD" refers to Auto Peak Detection, and "SW" refers to Sliding Windows.

The columns in the Results table vary depending on the selected deconvolution algorithm (ReSpect or Xtract), deconvolution method (Average Over Selected Retention Time, Auto Peak Detection, or Sliding Windows) and other processing method parameters.

For each parameter described in the table below, a "Y" (for "yes") indicates that the parameter (column) appears in the Results table for a given deconvolution algorithm (ReSpect or Xtract) and associated deconvolution method (Average Over Selected Retention Time, Auto Peak Detection, or Sliding Windows).

NOTE

Because the BioPharma Finder application uses an updated algorithm, the calculated mass values in the Results table from this application might be slightly different from those reported by the Protein Deconvolution application.
