Setting Parameters for Quantitative Analysis

Quantitative analysis provides information about specific elements in a sample. You
can quantitate the elements you selected by using calibration curves.
The Masses box in the Spectrum Acquisition Parameters dialog box can display
either the periodic table or the mass scale. You can use either to select masses and
elements. The periodic table display is useful to select the elements for quantitative
analysis, so the following section will explain the operation of the periodic table dis-
play. To use the mass scale for selecting masses, refer to "Setting Parameters for
Qualitative Analysis", in this chapter.
To set parameters for quantitative analysis, complete the following steps:
1 Click the Periodic Table from the Masses (left top) box.
The Masses dialog box (Periodic Table Masses) will appear.
Masses Dialog Box (Periodic Table)
2 Click Clear All.
ChemStation clears any masses or elements selected in the default method. The
periodic table display now appears empty.
