Calibration Table
Calibration Table
The calibration table specifies conversions of peak areas or heights into the
units you choose according to the calculation procedure you select. It contains
a list of retention/migration times from a calibration run. These
retention/migration times are compared with retention/migration times of
peaks from a sample run. Where a match occurs, the peak in the sample is
assumed to represent the same component as that in the calibration table, see
“Peak Identification” on page 127. During an analysis or while a report is
being generated, the amounts entered for each peak are used to calculate the
amounts for the calculation procedure selected for the report. The type and
amount of information required for creating a calibration table varies with the
type of calculation procedure desired.
The following information is needed to create a calibration table:
• the retention/migration time for each calibration mixture component peak,
and
• the amount of each component used in making the calibration mixture,
expressed in consistent units.
