Quantitative Analysis - Multicomponent
Printer Friendly
Full-Spectrum Quantitation (FSQ™) Multicomponent Analysis system provides software for determining the concentrations of two or more components within a mixture using vector quantitation mathematics. The entire wavelength spectra of mixtures are used rather than a single wavelength for each component in order to yield better accuracy.

The user does not have to select an analytical wavelength(s). All calculations are done automatically including selection of the optimal number of vectors for the analysis in process.

Features

  • Full spectrum used for each standard, control and sample.
  • No need to select an analytical wavelength for each unknown.
  • Automatic optimization and selection of calculation parameters with user override.
  • Analysis of two or more components in a mixture.
  • Use of up to 32 standards for B-matrix calculation.
  • User may rerun, add or delete standards with automatic recalculation of the matrix.
  • Use of up to 75 controls in triplicate.
  • Dilution correction available for individual samples.
  • Use of up to three replicates per sample.
  • Automatic calculation and flagging of each sample(s) C.V. if outside desired limit.
  • Printout of standards data, statistical information, controls data, and sample data.
  • Method parameters, B-matrix and sample data can be stored in separate files in the instrument for easy recall and use.

Accessories
As with the Single-Component Quantitative Analysis System, the Multicomponent Quantitative Analysis Software can be used with and control several sampling accessories: the Auto 6 Cell Holder, the Micro-Auto 6 Cell Holder, the Micro-Auto 12 Cell Holder, the Sipper Accessory, and a Batch Sampler.
