Viewing Analysis Results

The estimation results are displayed after peak matching is complete. The candidate compositions for each peak m/z are displayed in the [Result from Selected Peak List] area 1.

Note) In the current version, peaks are not displayed if they have no estimated candidate composition.

[Siailc Filter](Just for a user option for sialic acid derivatization)

The Sialic Filter (**SI**ailc **A**cid **L**inkage **I**somer **C**luster Filter) is a function that narrows down the candidates based on the mass difference between α2,3- and α2,6-sialic acid generated by Linkage-specific sialic acid derivatization method. The composition candidates can be narrowed down by identifying only the results listed as “plausible” 2.

For example, when 2-step SALSA is selected, α2,3- and α2,6- sialic acid is detected with a 28 Da peak interval difference. Based on this 28 Da interval, implausible candidate glycan compositions are indicated from those with a number of hits.

2

“plausible” will be listed in the [Siailc Filter] column if a modification is not selected in the [Linkage-specific] area on the [Sialic Acid Modification] tab page, or the peak group either contains no sialic acid or has only α2,3- or α2,6- sialic acid.
