Ion Signature Technology’s Quantitative Deconvolution Software Features Revolutionary Process

Ion Signature Technology’s Ion Signature quantitative deconvolution software is designed for use by both high throughput contract laboratories and high quality goods manufacturers working in the areas of food, beverage, flavors, and fragrances as well as environmental science, forensics, petrochemicals, and chemicals.

The software features a unique set of advanced deconvolution algorithms for precise, rapid compound identification and quantification – even in difficult and complex mixtures. The software extracts each compound's characteristic signature, untangles it from the surrounding sample matrix, and delivers a one-of-a-kind ion “fingerprint” for all major gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy instruments.

For contract labs, where throughput is key, Ion Signature accurately identifies 50 compounds in 10 seconds, eliminates costly re-analysis, and cuts data review time in half. The software provides such labs with a competitive edge, revenue gains of more than 10%, and increased profit margins — without expensive capital investment.

For R&D and corporate labs, where the emphasis is on accuracy, Ion Signature efficiently and accurately identifies dozens of complex compounds, even in the presence of co-eluting peaks. For these labs, the software delivers the highest-quality data, lowest method-detection limits, highest repeatability, and fastest time to analysis.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency testing has found Ion Signature software to be “capable of identifying low concentrations of target analytes in the presence of high levels of matrix interferences. By 'seeing through' the matrix interferences, the software reduces the need for re-analysis and dilution, and increases confidence in surrogate, internal standard, and target compound identification and quantification. [It] accurately identifies and quantifies target compounds in the presence of high levels of interferences and with minimal chromatographic separation.”
