What is Blank Correction? And why is it important for your analysis?
0:09
Blank Correction is a method of compensating for target analyte impurities
0:13
that occur naturally in the solvent
0:16
Many calibration sets designed to detect sulfur, nitrogen, or chlorine
0:20
are made with very low concentrations of the analyte
0:23
especially in natural or non-solvent matrices
0:27
in these instances a solvent blank, also called a matrix blank
0:31
must be used to correct for any native element that is naturally occuring in the matrix
0:36
if Blank Correction is not applied to these standards
0:39
all of the measured values will be off by the amount of the analyte that naturally exists in the matrix
0:45
which is detrimental to the accuracy of the calibration curve
