The newest advances in deconvolution are seen in groundbreaking new Ion Signature data analysis software for mass spectrometry. Ion Signature software features a unique set of algorithms designed specifically for fast and accurate compound identification and quantification, even in complex matrices.

The software performs real-time deconvolution of the sample data and analyzes all noise interferents. The software's ability to interpret mass spectra in the presence of high noise allows labs to use extremely short and simple GC temperature programs, virtually eliminating the need for arduous sample preparation. By rapidly ramping GC oven temperatures, 30-40 minute analyses can be compressed to 5 minutes, and samples can be analyzed without gel permeation, alumina, or silica column chromatography to prepare complex mixtures for analysis.

According to the EPA, "Ion Signature software reduces the need for re-analysis and dilution, and increases confidence in surrogate, internal standard, and target compound identification and quantification."
