LAT Standard addition for brighteners

L

inear

A

pproximation

T

echnique (“LAT Standard addition for

brighteners”) is a

Calibration

technique for CVS and CPVS. It is

mainly used to analyze Brighteners in electroplating baths. It is cho-
sen, if the difference between Q(“Intercept solution” + “Bath solu-
tion”) and Q(only “Intercept solution”) is too small to use “MLAT
Standard addition for brighteners”.
The "Intercept value" needed for the calculation can be recorded
and adopted automatically with the

Calibration

technique "LAT Re-

cord intercept value".

Note: If possible, “MLAT” should be the preferred

Calibration

tech-

nique for Brightener determination. With “MLAT”, “Intercept solu-
tion” and “Bath solution” are measured successively in the same
method run, what minimizes fluctuations caused by solution ex-
change and time displacement of the measurements.

Note: A determined "Intercept value" is only adopted automati-
cally if the checkbox
