3. QUALITY CONTROL ANALYSIS
Control samples (SF CHECK) are analyzed and the data is stored in the X or L-J
quality control file. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for handling control material.
Quality control analysis data is stored in specifically designated QC files. For details see
Chapter 6: Quality Control.
NOTE: Using the X Control method, the control sample is analyzed twice
in succession and the average data point is used. The L-J Control
method, on the other hand, uses the result from one analysis as one
control data point.
