SUMMARYSeverely overlapped gas chromatographic peaks can be resolved using Jansson's method. Jansson's method is an iterative nonlinear deconvolution technique and consists of Van Cittert's algorithm with the relaxation factor a function of the kth estimate of the peak shape. The maximum peak amplitude of the instrument and peak non-negativity serve as constraints to improve the peak estimate. Super-resolution is achieved without significantly degrading the chromatogram signal-to-noise ratio. The method only requires a knowledge of the instrument impulse response function and maximum peak height.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
