A GC/MS Data Analytical System with Personal Computers

Abstract

We have been using a GC/MS as a main instrument of perfume analysis. However, a mini-computer with our previous system wasn't able to calculate area% of peaks, so that we had to use other instruments to calculate it. In other words, we weren't able to modify data and compare with each data at the same time, it took time for system to put data out.
In the present study, we introduced a GC/MS data analytical system (PC-LAN system) that enabled us to search and edit data using a external PC in a simple and quick way. It was established in this system that all data were modified with a PC alone. Moreover, several PCs connected with this system provided us simultaneous analyses of some samples at the same time. The newly established system also prompted a library search.
