Setting the Calibration Curve to Use the Blank as Zero

Issue:

When performing calibration using Qtegra software, the blank reading does not zero out on the calibration curve. This discrepancy affects the accuracy of subsequent measurements and data analysis.

Environment:

• Product: Qtegra

Resolution:

1. Create a Lab Book:
   • Open Qtegra software and create a new lab book for the calibration process.
2. Access Method Parameters:
   • Navigate to the method parameters within the lab book.
3. Set Quantification Parameters:
   • Go to the "Quantification" section within the method parameters.
4. Configure Forcing Column:
   • In the "Quantification" section, locate the column labeled "Forcing."
   • Set the "Forcing" column to "Blank" to ensure that the blank solution is used as the zero on the calibration curve.
5. Perform Measurements:
   • Proceed with the measurements, ensuring that the blank remains zeroed out on the calibration curve.
