Abstract:

Two computer programs have been written in the FORTRAN language for use on amino acid chromatographic data obtained by using a multicolumn amino acid analyzer. The first program computes peak areas and the second, final concentrations of individual amino acids. The logic of the programs is presented, including data collection and editing data smoothing location of peaks baseline identification correction for baseline drift peak area computation peak identification and comparison of unknown peak areas with corresponding standard peak areas.
