System and method
First Claim
1. A system for characterising, in particular sequencing, polymeric samples, comprising:
- a space-time map generator for generating a space-time map of points representative of the signal peaks of signals detected at a plurality of spaced positions as passed by the migrating components of a plurality of separately-provided sample plugs; and
a vertex finder for identifying vertices from the space-time map, with a single vertex being identified for the components of each separately-provided sample plug and the velocities of the sample components being determinable from the points in the space-time map.

Abstract
A system and method of characterizing, in particular sequencing, polymeric samples, the system comprising: a space-time map generator for generating a space-time map of points representative of the signal peaks of signals detected at a plurality of spaced positions as passed by the migrating components of a plurality of separately-provided sample plugs; and a vertex finder for identifying vertices from the space-time map, with a single vertex being identified for the components of each separately-provided sample plug and the velocities of the sample components being determinable from the points in the space-time map.
