Sample Details in .CSV format
The .CSV file must be a simple text file.
Each line of the file should contain:
Sample ID, Sample Mass, Dilution Ratio
separated by commas.
The last line in the file should contain:
Corrected concentration units, nominal mass
again separated by commas.
Notes:
If the Sample IDs or Corrected Concentration units text contain spaces, the complete text must be surrounded by double quotes.
The illegal values for the Sample Details can be imported in this way, but will be displayed in red in the Sample Details dialogue box, and will be ignored when the Sample Details are used.
Example
"First Sample ID",100,3.15
"Second Sample ID",200,6.30
"mg/l (ppm)",150
