Peak table
The following parameters can be selected for peak table output with

determination results:

Quantification method

Selection of the method to calculate concentra-

tions of components:

Response normalization

The method normalizes the sum of responses

for all peaks of the chromatogram to the
NORM

factor entered in the

All peaks are calculated and reported no matter

whether they have been recognized or not.
The peak table includes the following columns:

Normalized concentration

The method normalizes the sum of absolute

concentrations for all peaks of the chroma-

togram to the NORM factor entered in the

Relative concentration

This quantification method uses the internal

standard method to calculate the relative con-

centrations of the components. For this proce-

dure, a

Standard component

must be selected
