Chromatogram files in a different format

Quote

I have already downloaded it however i do have an issue with the data format. In our GC, we get a folder which when we press it in Chemstation it appears the chromatogram, however i do not see any CDF file or anyway to convert it. Could you help me out on how to proceed? thank you very much and thank you for providing this software.

Hello!

In Chemstation (Enhanced data analysis), you should be able to export your data as AIA format. By doing this, after selecting the .D files that you need to export, a .CDF file will be created for each of them.

You can also find more information on how to load your data on PARADISe here: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.pex-2143/v1 (Section 3. Procedure, Subsection 1).

We hope you find this helpful!

Best,

Beatriz

Great Beatriz, thank you very much

now i have been able to go into chem station to pass the chromatrogram "folder" files into CDF format, which i am able to load (the names of the folders appear in Data listed), however when i go to editor, the files are listed but nothing else is shown, and when i click in the listed files nothing appears neither. Could you help here?

 

Thanks again

I think it could be an issue with the fact that the file were not properly exported to CDF format. I will keep on trying and i will come back if i find an issue.

Thank you very much

Hello again!

Yes, that could be the issue. You can also try to convert your .D files into .CDF by means of OpenChrom, an open source software developed by Lablicate: http://www.openchrom.net/

That would be a good way to check if the problem comes from the CDF files or there is anything else going on. Please, let us know if you finally achieved to import your data. Otherwise, we are happy to help!

Best,
