What are the Library Search Algorithms in SCIEX OS Software?

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

When setting up a new processing method in SCIEX OS software's Analytics mode, there are three different library search algorithms that the user can select under the library search parameters dialog.

The three algorithms include:

1. Candidate Search: This selection finds the best spectral match from all components in the selected libraries.
2.  Confirmation Search: This selection matches the component name against compound names in the selected library.
3.  Smart Confirmation Search: This selection first matches component names and then searches using the spectra if no match is found.
