Although the elution sequence of peaks 1 and 2 is reversed by simply changing the solvent ratio in this example, the change in the sequence is made obvious by identification using PDA spectrums. Determination of analysis parameters is simplified by using the spectrums for identification in this way.
The above figure is a 3 point spectrum for the target component (acetyl salicylic acid). For reference the spectrum of salicylic acid is shown below. The rise near 300nm in the down slope of the spectrum above is clearly from the affect of salicylic acid, an impurity.
