Cx = Concentration of ion in the sample
Cs = Concentration of ion in the calibrant solution
“S”, the slope, is determined during calibration using Calibrants A and B, which have known levels of
lithium, sodium, potassium, and chloride.
When a two-point calibration is initiated, the slope is calculated from the difference between each
Calibrant A and Calibrant B reading. Excessive drift or noisy readings will be flagged and the
appropriate error message will be shown.
NOTE: Always press the Modify and OK buttons if any change is made in the method
configuration. If no parameter is changed, exit by pressing the OK button. If this is not done,
the methods will not be programmed correctly and the results may be affected.

Warning: Changes should only be made in this tab under supervision or only by personnel
trained in advanced options.

The purpose of modifying this part of the Methods Settings is to improve the performance of a certain
reagent (Figure 8-15)
Within these options are found:
Initial Air Gap:
A volume of air drawn in the diluter. It is used to minimize contact between the reagent
and the liquid inside the probe. The default value is 0 µl and it is recommended not to exceed a value of
20 µl. 2 µl are recommended.
