Average RF
If the Average RF fit type is selected, the slope of the calibration line between each calibration point and zero is
calculated independently. These values (the Response Factors, or RFs) are then averaged to give an Average RF
value. The Average RF is then used to calculate the uncorrected amount of the unknown component as follows:
ConcUnknown= (Average RF ) * AreaUnknown
Where:
Cu = Area/RF if Response Factor is set to Area/Amount
Cu = Area * RF if Response Factor is set to Amount/Area
The slope of each calibration line is calculated as follows:
Cu = a Y
For an External Standard and Normalization:
Cu = Uncorrected Amount (With scaling factor applied, i.e. 1/x if applicable)
a = Slope of the calibration line segment
Y = Area or height value from Y-Axis
For an Internal Standard:
Cu = Uncorrected Amount Ratio
a = Slope of the calibration line segment
