TraceFinder 3.2 – New Quick Acquisition for Method Development
In previous versions of TraceFinder, there existed the Development Batch under the Method Development Mode of the application.
TraceFinder 3.2 has been replaced with a new Quick Acquisition button in the toolbar and in the Tools menu items.
This allows the user to acquire a sequence of files and open them in either Qual Browser or FreeStyle, from any view or mode.
The main benefit is that the user can perform method development or simply acquire a file to test the system. This is done without having to utilize batch processing to get an quick answer to the question.

Note: FreeStyle is a separate application and will require a separate license from TraceFinder.
However, when you apply for a TraceFinder 3.2 license you will receive both a TF license and a FreeStyle license.
You simply apply each to their respective license when using the applications together.

New In TraceFinder 3.1 – Sieve Unknown Screening Connector
TF 3.1 now includes a plugin kit, which allows for the rapid development of custom workflows within existing functionality of TF and external applications.
The first technology connection made is to Thermo Sieve 2.1. This allows a user to send data to and receive selected results from Sieve. This gives TF the ability to complete the “Unknown to Known” workflow. This is accomplished by not reinventing unknown analysis inside of TF, but by leveraging the core competencies of TF and Sieve in a unified platform.
The video below is a short demo of how this works in an Unknown Analysis to Quantitative workflow, by Mark Sanders.
His accompanied ASMS poster is located on a previous posting.
The Power of Ease of Use – Is it TELEPATHY or TraceFinder 3.1? – Submitting a set of samples in realtime
Ya can get much easier in putting on a batch of samples to run, unless your telepathic.
Here is a set of sample just extracted and ready to run a method that was created for this bioanalytical assay.
The process is the same after the method development is done. It doesn’t matter if you are a GC, GCMS, LC or LCMS user.
It’s also no different whether you a clinical, environmental, food safety or just a general quan user. The power of TF is that it makes the technicians life, of data acquisition and review much easier.

Method Development Unleashed – TF 3.1 and Multiple Instrument Methods
In an effort to help make TF a more friendly method development platform, we have introduced the ability to have an option to use multiple instrument methods in a batch of samples.
This ability is enabled simply by exposing the instrument method column in the sample definition grid.
When enabled the master method’s instrument selection is overridden, and the selected instrument method is used in its place.
This allows the user to have the same processing conditions but monitor the effects of chromatography differences on the peaks of interest.
Once an instrument method is optimized and chosen, simply turn off the column, update the Master Method and save.
All future batches of samples will use that instrument method.
