12) Now find the last major peak at approximately 3.3 minutes. The compound
name is o-terphenyl and the amount is 2.4 µg /mL. Select the signal that
provides the most abundant area counts. You will also make this a reference
peak.
13) OK this initial Calibration Table to remove lines with zero amounts. This
step will make building your table easier.
14) From the Calibration menu, select Calibration Table to redisplay the
Calibration Table.
15) Save the method.
16) Now, load all signals for data file, Med.d, the medium standard. The
integration will be performed automatically using the integration events
chosen for the last data file.
17) Under the Calibration menu, select Add Level or select the Add new level
from current chromatogram tool. This time, Level 2. OK the box.
18) Fill in the amount fields only. For level 2, Biphenyl is 2.4 µg/mL and the o-
Terphenyl is 7.2 µg/mL.
19) Now load the high-level standard, high.d. Select Add Level. This data file is
for level 3.
20) The amounts for the third level are: Biphenyl, 8.0 µg/mL, and o-Terphenyl,
24 µg/mL.
21) You may click on the chromatographic peak in the chromatogram to view the
corresponding calibration curve in the lower right hand corner. You may
change the curve fit by selecting Peak Details from the Calibration Table
Option Set drop box found in the middle of the window. Now the Calibration
Table contains a Curve Type and Origin column. Select a Linear curve type
and Ignore the origin.
