Method and apparatus for analyzing multi-channel chromatogram
First Claim
1. A method of analyzing overlapping peaks on a multi-channel chromatogram, comprising the steps of:
- deconvoluting said multi-channel chromatogram using a predetermined dispersion function;
multivariate-analyzing the deconvoluted multi-channel chromatogram;
determining whether multivariate analysis corresponding to the width of said predetermined dispersion function uniquely has a solution;
adjusting the width of said dispersion function by a subtraction operation subtracting a standard deviation from said width of said dispersion function until the multivariate analysis uniquely has a solution; and
determining a multi-channel chromaogram deconvoluted by using a dispersion function adjusted by said subtraction operation.

Abstract
A method for analyzing a multi-channel chromatogram is realized for accurately resolving overlapping peaks on a multi-channel chromatogram to permit analysis of the composition of a sample. First, components of overlapping peaks are specified. A data matrix Dij is determined, and compressed in the wavelength direction to obtain a data matrix vector Di. Next, the two-dimensional data is deconvoluted, final standard deviation s0 is registered, and the deconvoluted two-dimensional data is reconvoluted to a retention intensity matrix. A quantitative spectral intensity matrix is computed, components are identified, and the identified components are quantified. Subsequently, an eigenvalue problem is solved, and the number n of components is estimated. The deconvolution and computation of the eigenvalue problem are iteratively executed until the peaks are isolated. Then, elution profiles are calculated, the components are identified, and the identified components are quantified.
