Issue Description

When opening a Sciex OS results table that contains both UV/DAD and MS data (in a .wiff2 file), an error message is received:
"Error. Cannot be empty, Parameter name: experiments."
Sciex OS error parameter name cannot be empty experiments

 


Resolution

When creating results tables in Sciex OS using data files that contain both MS and DAD/UV data, the quantitation method must specify a method for the UV/DAD data, as well as the MS data.

In the quantitation method set up in the Analytics section of Sciex OS, the type of data to be used is selected under the components tab. Shown below are 3 different ways of setting up the method. The correct way is to select both UV/DAD and MS, as shown in option 1.

Option 1: Quant method with MS and UV data selected for a UV/MS data set


Option 2: Quant method with MS only selected for a UV/MS data set

Sciex OS MS only

Option 3: Quant method with UV only selected for a UV/MS data set
Quant method_UV only

After selecting both UV and MS data for the quantitation method, the results table should appear as follows:
