Quantitation
Internal Standard
When an internal standard is selected in the current calibration curve, the count of
the target ion of the sample data is divided by the ratio of the count per
concentration of the internal standard in the sample data. In this calculation, the
concentration of the internal standard in the first level of the calibration curve is
used as the concentration of the internal standard in the sample data. The count
value for each element reported on a quantitative report is therefore a count ratio.
where
This value is used as the measured value of y in the following sections.
Calculating Concentration
Concentration of the target ion of the sample data is calculated as follows.
