Article number: 1004

ENVIRONMENT

ANSWER

The abbreviations used in the Primary Flag field in the TargetLynx browser are described here:

Primary flag Definition
b Peak starts or ends on the baseline.
d Peak starts or ends on a drop line.
s Peak is a shoulder on another peak.
t Peak starts or ends at the start or end of the trace.
M The peak start or end point was manually altered.
- The peak was manually deleted.
! Flagged peak.
I

The response would either give a negative concentration or the calibration equation is not solvable for the given response (indeterminate flag).

This may be because:

The response is lower than the Y intercept of the line of best fit - commonly seen for Blank or samples with a small integrated peak

or

When a Quadratic fit is used, the response is above the area defined by the line of best fit, theis has be seen for High level Standards when injected in duplicate and the line of best fit passes between them.

X Point was manually excluded from the calibration curve.
