About this manual

Retention time locking (RTL) is a technique used to duplicate compound retention times between different HP 6890 gas chromatographs or to reproduce retention times after column maintenance. This document explains how to generate custom RTL screening libraries within the MSD Productivity Chemstation software (version B.01.00 or later).

Frequently asked questions

What is retention time locking (RTL)?

RTL is a powerful means for duplicating compound retention times between different HP 6890 gas chromatographs (GCs), regardless of detection method.

What information is needed before creating a mass spectral library?

Users need compound identity (name), molecular formula (optional), molecular weight (optional), CAS number (optional), and the retention time for each peak in seconds.
