5 How to optimize the Detector
Traditionally LC analysis with UV detectors is based on comparing
measurements with internal or external standards. To check photometric
accuracy of the Agilent 1200 DAD/MWD it is necessary to have more precise
information on path lengths of the flow cells.
The correct response is:
expected response * correction factor
