echnique (“MLAT Standard addi-

tion for brighteners”) is a

Calibration

technique for CVS and CPVS.

It is the standard technique to analyze Brighteners in electroplating
baths. If the difference between Q(“Intercept solution” + “Bath so-
lution”) and Q(only “Intercept solution”) is too small to use
“MLAT”, try “LAT Standard addition for brighteners”.

Determination tab with Calibration technique “MLAT”

The

Determination

tab of the

EDIT WORKING METHOD PARAME-

TERS

window contains general specifications for performing the

determination. The parameters displayed depend on the selected

Calibration

technique and measurement

Technique

. With “MLAT

Standard addition for brighteners” following parameters have to be

defined:

Sample identifier [ 32 characters ; "sample" ]

Identification for sample. The

Sample identifier

is

used for the file name.

Volume production bath (mL) [> 0 mL ; 10 mL]

The volume of sample bath solution added (see
Production bath solution, section 6.4).

Cell volume (mL) [ > 0 mL ; 20 mL ] [ read only ]

Total volume of solution (“Intercept solution” +
“Production bath solution”) in the measuring ves-
sel after addition of “bath solution”. The sample
concentrations

Conc

. calculated refers to this cell

volume.

Volume intercept solution (mL) [> 0 mL ; 10 mL]

The volume of “Intercept solution” added.

No. of conditioning measurements [ 1...100 ; 1 ]

Number of replications of conditioning measure-
