                Complete Separation of Co-eluted Peaks by i-PDeA (intelligent Peak Deconvolution Analysis, patent pending)
            i              enables the extraction of a single peak from co-eluted peaks by utilizing differences in spectra. This new separation method
             -PDeA

            removes discussion of integration methods for co-eluted peaks. The              also helps detect impurity peaks in a target peak.
