This document describes how to build and edit RTL Screener databases, RTL Quant databases, and Mass Spectral Libraries using the GC/MSD ChemStation software and Microsoft Excel.
This technical overview explains the process of building and editing Retention Time Locking (RTL) Screener databases, RTL Quant databases, and Mass Spectral Libraries. These tasks are accomplished using the GC/MSD ChemStation software and Microsoft Excel. The document details the software requirements, file locations, and specific steps for creating libraries from data files.
| Software Requirements | GC/MSD revision D.01.01 (D.01.00 sp1) or higher |
|---|---|
| Required Columns in .tab File | Columns B, C, D, E, F, and I |
The .sav is a folder created in the Database folder when you create a Library from a .tab file, containing one .sav file for each entry in the Library.
