Starting the ChromAlign Process<br />

A Understanding the ChromAlign Process<br />

Starting the ChromAlign Process<br />

After you submit the data for analysis, <strong>SIEVE</strong> aligns the chromatographic profiles (using the<br />

base peak information only) using fast fourier transforms (FFTs) to provide a<br />

transformation-based correlation analysis between the two chromatograms (see Step 1). This<br />

alignment produces a correlation array showing exactly how much to shift the various<br />

chromatograms to align the major features. Figure 17 shows original chromatograms before<br />

the ChromAlign process begins. In Figure 17, the black trace is the trace of the control sample<br />

and the lighter (red) trace is the test sample. The ChromAlign process aligns the test sample to<br />

the control sample.<br />
