If it exceeds this range, the sample solution should be... Dilute with water and re-measure. During single-point calibration quantification, the mass concentration of the analyte in the sample solution should not differ significantly from the mass concentration of the standard solution. More than 30%. The separation between the target peak and adjacent peaks should be greater than 1.5.
4.6 Experimental Data Processing The choline chloride content w in the sample is calculated using formula (1) for multi-point calibration and formula (2) for single-point calibration. The values are expressed in milligrams per kilogram. It is expressed as (mg/kg). w=rho× V×1000 m×1000 ×f (1) In the formula. rho
