Calibration Curves
Use calibration curves to find the calculated concentration of samples, including quality control
(QC) samples. QC samples are added to a batch to estimate the data quality and accuracy of
standards in the batch. QC samples have known analyte concentrations but are treated as
unknowns so that the measured concentrations can be compared to the actual value.
The calibration curve is generated by plotting the concentration of the standard versus its area or
height. If an internal standard is used, the ratio of the standard concentration/internal standard
