4.2.6 Baseline Flatness
[Summary]
To determine a systematic variation range* of absorbance values
measured in a specified wavelength region with no sample in the
sample compartment.
* The systematic variation means a variation having certain
reproducibility, not including noises or other non-reproducible
fluctuation.
