Documentation

Visit the wiki for a full list of methods and options.

Getting Started

Initialize Toolbox

Add the @Chromatography folder to your MATLAB path and run the following code in the MATLAB command window:

obj = Chromatography();

Find out which version is currently installed using the command below:

obj.version

ans =

    '0.1.51'

Load Data

Import raw data files into the MATLAB workspace:

% Import Agilent '.D' files
data = obj.import('.D');

% Append data with Thermo '.RAW' files
data = obj.import('.RAW', 'append', data);

Baseline Correction

Calculate baselines for the total ion chromatograms (TIC) in all samples:

data = obj.baseline(data,...
    'samples',    'all',...
    'ions',       'tic',...
    'smoothness', 1E7,...
    'asymmetry',  5E-6);

Smoothing

Apply a smoothing filter to the total ion chromatograms (TIC) in all samples:

% Small amount of smoothing
data = obj.smooth(data,...
    'samples',    'all',...
    'ions',       'tic',...
    'smoothness', 10,...
    'asymmetry',  0.5);

% Heavy amount of smoothing
data = obj.smooth(data,...
    'samples',    'all',...
    'ions',       'tic',...
    'smoothness', 1000,...
    'asymmetry',  0.5);

Reset Data

Reset data to its original state with the command:

data = obj.reset(data);

Plotting

Plot all total ion chromatograms (TIC) in a stacked layout:

fig = obj.visualize(data,...
    'samples',  'all',...
    'ions',     'tic',...
    'layout',   'stacked',...
    'scale',    'normalized',...
    'xlim',     [5,45],...
    'colormap', 'jet',...
    'legend',   'on');

Plot the total ion chromatogram (TIC) for a single sample and save as a JPG (400 DPI):

fig = obj.visualize(data,...
    'samples', 4,...
    'ions',    'tic',...
    'xlim',    [2,50],...
    'color',   'black',...
    'legend',  'on',...
    'export',  {'MyFileName', '-djpeg', '-r400'});

Plot selected extracted ion chromatograms (XIC) for selected samples and save as a PNG (150 DPI):

fig = obj.visualize(data,...
    'samples',  [1:2,6,9:10],...
    'ions',     [10:50,55,59,100:200],...
    'layout',   'stacked',...
    'scale',    'full',...
    'xlim',     [10,30],...
    'colormap', 'winter',...
    'legend',   'on',...
    'export',   {'MyFileName', '-dpng', '-r150'});
