Frequently asked questions
What exactly does this tool do to my chromatography peak table?+
It sorts peaks by retention time ascending. You paste the raw export, the parser detects the delimiter (comma, tab, semicolon or pipe), the transform runs, and you see the result plus a one-line summary of what changed. You can then copy the CSV or download CSV/JSON. It is deliberately one well-defined operation so the output is predictable and reproducible.
Is my instrument data uploaded anywhere?+
No. All parsing and computation happen locally in your browser with JavaScript — nothing is sent to a server. That keeps a chromatography peak table private, which matters for analytical-chemistry labs handling unpublished or confidential results, and it means the tool also works offline.
What input and output formats are supported?+
Input can be CSV, TSV, or semicolon/pipe-delimited text copied straight from your instrument software or a spreadsheet — the delimiter is auto-detected. Output is standard RFC-4180 CSV (copy or download) or a JSON array of objects keyed by the header row.
How should I sanity-check the result?+
Spot-check a few rows against your raw file, especially headers and any computed columns. This tool applies a single transform faithfully, but it can't know your specific column quirks — confirm it picked the right columns (e.g. the Cq, OD, area or A260 column) before using the output downstream.
