LC/MS-IQ LC/MS Data Review Platform
Daily LC-MS Review Workflow

From TargetLynx Export to Run Decision

LC-MS-IQ organizes run review in the order laboratories actually make decisions: validate peaks, evaluate calibration, evaluate QC, determine whether unknowns are ready, and preserve a clear review record.

1

Upload TargetLynx Data

Start with the files your lab already exports. LC-MS-IQ reads the run data and prepares a structured review instead of forcing manual spreadsheet cleanup.

CSV/XML support Instrument run metadata Sample type recognition
2

Validate Peaks First

Before calibration or QC decisions are trusted, LC-MS-IQ checks peak-level problems that can distort run interpretation.

Signal-to-noise checks Retention time windows Peak width review Missing or invalid peaks
3

Review Calibration

Calibration is evaluated before QC and unknowns. If calibration fails for an analyte, downstream interpretation is blocked for that analyte.

Curve performance Calibrator bias Low signal flags Reason tracking
4

Evaluate QC Acceptance

QC review determines whether an analyte is acceptable for unknown review. Failed QC stops unknown interpretation while preserving the failure reason.

QC bias QC signal quality Westgard-ready review Future trend eligibility
5

Determine Unknown Readiness

Unknown samples are only evaluated after calibration and QC are acceptable for that analyte. This keeps reporting decisions aligned with the laboratory review sequence.

Ready for review Not evaluated when blocked Below-range visibility
6

Trend Method Health

Accepted runs can feed historical health monitoring, helping laboratories see drift before it becomes a daily failure.

Decision Logic

Clear Statuses for Each Analyte

LC-MS-IQ separates calibration, QC, and unknown readiness so the reason for a failed analyte is visible without mixing every issue into one generic status.

Calibration Failed QC and unknowns are not evaluated for that analyte.
QC Failed Unknowns are not evaluated until QC is acceptable.
Passed Calibration and QC are acceptable; unknowns are ready for review.
