The Role of Standard Samples in Spectrometers
The reference sample, also known as a blank or a standard, is a sample that contains all the components of the test sample except for the substance to be measured. At the Pepper Laboratory, for example, of 450,000 analyses per year about 300,000 require the measurement of the absorbance of light. The most commonly used sample preparation techniques for Mass spectrometry include Solid-phase extraction (SPE), liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), or QuEChERS. Good calibration lines from standard samples are usually straight when conditions are controlled.
