One of the following sample types isdisplayed:Unknown: Contains analytes whose concentrations areto be determined.Standard: A sample with known analyte concentration;used for calibration purposes.Quality Control: A sample with known analyteconcentration; used to check the accuracy of thestandard curve.Solvent: Confirms that the instrument is clean. Solventsare not run through the sample preparation process.Blank: A zero concentration sample that is not used inregression.Double Blank: A sample prepared without an internalstandard or sample analyte; confirms that the extractionprocess added nothing.A comment describing the sample.A number that identifies a subset of an entire batch.The name of the method used to acquire the samples.The date and time when the acquisition was run.An identifier associated with the kind of autosamplerrack used (if any).The rack position in which the sample was placed whenit was acquired. (In single-rack autosamplers, this isalways 1.)The position in the autosampler plate where the vialwas located.An identifier for the kind of plate used (multiplate racksonly.)The plate position on the rack (multiplate racks only.)The name of the raw data file. This name is not uniquebecause the data from many samples may be containedin a single data file.The amount by which the sample was diluted; used todetermine the calculated concentration.Additional comments describing the sample.Gives the weight to volume ratio for the sample.Release Date: August 2011 47
