Lower filter-time constant settings produce these effects:
•
Narrow peaks, with minimal peak distortion and time delay
•
Very small peaks may become more difficult to discriminate from baseline noise
•
Less baseline noise is removed
Higher filter-time constant settings produce these effects:
•
Greatly decrease baseline noise
•
Shorten and broaden peaks
For the highest resolution, select an appropriate sampling rate, and choose a fast filter-time
constant. For the highest sensitivity, select an appropriate sampling rate, and choose a normal
filter-time constant.
The following figure shows the relationship between increased filter-time constant and
absorbance.
