2 Introduction to Your System
General Purpose Agilent ChemStation Software for UV-Visible Spectroscopy — Overview
These coefficients are then used to calculate concentration results for the
samples currently in memory. The same processing steps, applied to sample
and standard data, lead to the most precise results.
Advantages
A diode-array-based spectrophotometer, in combination with powerful data
evaluation based on Agilent ChemStation, offers many advantages over
traditional spectrophotometer systems. Some of these advantages are:
• Virtually unlimited number of standards
Measure your standards before or after your samples and, as well as the
minimum required number of standards, use as many standards as you
wish with your calibration.
• Easy optimization
The availability of all raw data—samples and standards—means you can
easily optimize your method’s settings by choosing a different calibration
wavelength and re-calibrating your system. Also, by simply removing this
standard from your standard data set, you can eliminate outliers in your
calibration.
