One Touch Methods are methods created and optimized by CEM for a variety of sample types to reduce the method
development time and effort required by the user. These methods cannot be edited, but they can be copied into
the User Methods folder, where the parameters can be edited.
User Methods are created by the user and can be edited at any time. These methods are typically for users with
unique or specialized products that do not obtain optimal results using a One Touch Method. User methods can be
imported and exported from another instrument.
