Is there any specific limit for blank determination in oven technique

2 comments:
Mr. Anderson
March 5, 2025

The blank determination in the oven technique for the Metrohm 874 requires three to five empty, tightly sealed vials as blank samples. These blank samples should be placed on Positions 1 to 3 (or 5) on the sample rack, and the sample table must include corresponding lines for blank value determination.
