Article number: 281932

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Using the Molecular Mass Calculator Tool in conjunction with injection-based mass processing

ENVIRONMENT

  • Empower
  • Empower Tip of the Week #367

PROCEDURE

STEP 1
Create a Sample Set Method in Run Samples or you can work with an acquired Sample Set in Alter Sample (figure 1).
