| 摘要 |
The invention provides a chromatograph mass analysis data processing apparatus in which operators can easily obtain information about plural compounds that characterize a difference between plural samples on the basis of the result of a multivariate analysis. A set of data collected by LC/MS analyses of plural samples is subjected to a multivariate analysis (principal component analysis) to create and display a loadings plot. On this loadings plot, the operator can specify a range A to select one or more characteristic data points that seem influential in the grouping of the plural samples. In response to this operation, one or more markings B indicating the peaks corresponding to the data points selected within the range A are displayed on an isointensity line graph whose two axes indicate the retention time and mass-to-charge ratio. These markings enable the operator to check, for example, that the compounds that are influential in the grouping of the samples belong to a specific compound series.
