This application note describes how to use method translation combined with RTL to implement precise time-scaled versions of a method on multiple instru- ment types.
This document explains how to implement precise time-scaled versions of gas chromatographic methods on multiple instrument types. It details the use of method translation combined with retention time locking (RTL) to re-use original methods with minimal effort while optimizing them for specific sample types or instrument setups. The Agilent RTL Pesticide Library method is used as a primary example.
The method is designed to screen for 567 pesticides and suspected endocrine disrupters using element-selective detection and a retention time locked library.
