Hi Tomas,

I'm not sure, but I believe this would not change that much my workflow neither the nature of the results, since we are working on GC/MS data and usually not using bins bigger than 1, neither any other parameter from the "Chromatogram Builder" altering/filtering the signal (like "Min Intensity", ...). My goal being only to reduce the number of detected peaks "after" deconvolution. In this same point of view, I am working on a module which aims to filter the peaks from the deconvoluted list on the basis of their shape (that is to say, removing peaks that do not have the shape of a peak, inspired by the "Shaper" module). Probably combining this shape approach with some other restrictions like minimum top/edges ratio... At least, this will be my next concern once I am satisfied with the baseline feature (hopefully soon).

To answer your question, performing the baseline on detected chromatograms only would certainly reduce the duration of the baselining task for some use cases, but not in mine, because I do not use the "Chromatogram Builder" to skip or merge anything in the "m/z dimension". I only use it to split every single m/z slice. Then I apply deconvolution and finally merge the pieces that share the same user defined "RT tolerance" range using a module named "RT based peaks merger" (which, by the way, is not completely satisfying in the way it is implemented at this time).

Best
Gauthier

Hi Gauthier, Chris,

I was wondering about your typical usage pattern of the baseline correction module. Since the baseline correction algorithms take chromatograms as an input, wouldn't it make more sense to perform it after running the Chromatogram builder?

Chris, could you remind me what was the motivation to implement baseline correction on the raw data with m/z binning, instead of doing it on detected chromatograms?

Best regards,

Tomas
