A chemical recognition algorithm is an integral part of any autonomous microscale gas chromatography (µGC) system for automated chemical analysis. For a multi-detector µGC system, the chemical analysis must account for the retention time of each chemical analyte as well as the relative response of each detector to each analyte, i.e., the detector response pattern (DRP). In contrast to the common approaches of heuristically using principal component analysis and machine learning, this paper reports a rule-based automated chemical recognition algorithm for a multi-cell, multi-detector µGC system, in which the DRP is related to theoretical principles; consequently, this algorithm only requires a small amount of calibration data but not extensive training data. For processing both the retention time and the raw DRP, the algorithm applies rules based on expert knowledge to compare the detected peaks; these rules are located in a customized software library. Additionally, the algorithm provides special handling for chromatogram peaks with a small signal-to-noise ratio. It also provides separate special handling for asymmetrical peaks that may result from surface adsorptive analytes. This work also describes an experimental evaluation in which the algorithm used the relative response of two complementary types of capacitive detectors as well as a photoionization detector that were incorporated into the µGC system of interest. In these tests, which were performed on chromatograms with 21–31 peaks for each detector, the true positive rate was 96.3%, the true negative rate was 94.1%, the false positive rate was 5.9%, and the false negative rate was 3.7%. The results demonstrated that the algorithm can support µGC systems for automated chemical screening and early warning applications. |
