Maintain Standards Library for Bulk Samples
This guide describes how to create and maintain a standards library for the standard-based
quantification of bulk samples.
Step
Example/hints
Create/open a standards library
See Fig. 5.11-1.
1
Cl
ick the icon in the bottom left
corner of the
Standards configurator
to
open the
ADMINISTRATION OF
STANDARD LIBRARY dialog.
2
Use the standards library icon to
a) Load a standards library or
Load a previously saved *.esl file which
correspon
ds to the current
detector geometry
parameters. Proceed with step 5.
b) Select New to create an empty
standard
s library
The question “Do you want to load a
spectrum measured with corresponding
system settings?” pops up.
i. Select
Yes
If you are using the software as Data station
(not connected to a microscope)
. The LOAD
SPECTRUM
dialog pops up. Load a spectrum
.spx which was acquired with
the
corresponding detector geometry.
ii. Select No.
If you are using the ESPRIT software
connected to the microscope.
Update standards library with standard spectra
3
Perform system factor calibration.
Follow section 5.10.
4
Move the reference sample into analysis
position and
a reference
spectrum
(within the Spectra
workspace).
Follow section 5.7 to acquire a spectrum.
Important:
Use automatic spectrum
numbering or rename spectra after
acquisition.
5
the reference sample with
a standardless quantification method
(within the
Spectra workspace).
Load a standardless quantification method or
deselect
Use standards under
Quantification model
in the method editor.
Important:
Set the quantification method to
(interactive) to access the quantification
dialog. Follow section 5.12.1.
6
Click
in the quantification
dialog
.
See Fig. 5.11-2. EDIT STANDARD
PROPERTIES
dialog pops up. Confirm the
assignment for all chemical elements to be
referenced to that standard
. If there is an
element missing, it needs to be added in the
QUANTIFICATION
dialog under Settings/
Elements.
