Snowflake Is Now a Supported Data App Provider

Chromatography Insights now supports zero-copy data sharing through Snowflake. Accounts will need to partner with their Snowflake and TetraScience developer operation teams to enable this capability.

To start using Snowflake as a data provider for Chromatography Insights, do the following:

  1. Configure a zero-copy data share between the TDP and your Snowflake account. For instructions, see Use Snowflake to Access Tetra Data.
  2. Connect the Chromatography Insights app in your TDP environment to your Snowflake account. For instructions, see Connect External Systems to an Embedded Data App Based on Streamlit.
  3. Add Snowflake as a Data Provider to Chromatography Insights. For instructions, see Add a Provider to an Embedded Data App Based on Streamlit. The app will take a few minutes to update.

New UV Wavelength Column on the Chromatogram Overlay Page

The Selected Chromatogram table has been updated to include a column specifying the UV-Vis wavelength used to measure the absorbance from an injection. This measurement helps analysts quickly determine what UV-Vis settings were applied to the injection channel.

Dynamic Hover-Over Peak Label Selection

This release improves the user experience for selecting peak labels on the plotted chromatograms. A single peak label is now shown for overlayed chromatograms, and peak labels are dynamically removed from the view when a user hovers their cursor over a peak.

Peaks with Multiple Lables View

Single Peak Lable View

Mini View for Chromatogram Navigation

Users now have the ability to use the mini view above the chromatogram plot to zoom in on regions of interest and drag across the plot. This feature improves plot visibility when injections have many peaks.

Enhancements

Enhancements are modifications to existing functionality that improve performance or usability, but don't alter the function or intended use of the system.

  • The performance trending peak table now show only peak values from selected injections: Previously, the Peak table showed all peak values matching selected filters.

Bug Fixes

The following bug is now fixed:

  • The latest Streamlit version (v1.43.0) resolves a hover-over functionality issue where a tooltip with the text true would show when hovering over elements set to not have a tooltip.
