Workflow Overview
Three Workflow Steps for Data Analysis
1.
Select & Process:
➢
Raw data acquisitions are selected and processed into Spectradyne Stats files.
Likely this step will have been completed by the Auto-analysis Engine at the time
of acquisition (described on page 18), however a manual process is available for
customizing the choice of raw data and processing parameters.
➢
This step yields a quantitative Concentration Spectral Density (CSD
TM
) distribution.
2.
Refine & Filter:
➢
Any necessary refinement to the diameter scaling is performed (e.g., to account for
possible buffer effects)
➢
Low-confidence particle measurements are eliminated by data filtering (e.g., false
positives near the small particle detection limit)
➢
This step yields the final CSD for the collection of measurements.
3.
Combine & Compare:
➢
The collection of refined Spectradyne Stats files is saved as a single combined file.
➢
The CSDs of different samples are quantitatively compared at the combined file
level.
