Calibration curves are used to understand the instrumental response to an analyte, and to predict the concentration of analyte in a sample.
A calibration curve is created by first preparing a set of standard solutions with known concentrations of the analyte. The instrument response is measured for each, and plotted vs. concentration of th...
