Calibration Sample Choice: Crucial For Optimal Instrument Performance
In order for a Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) instrument to deliver optimal results, the instrument must be calibrated with the appropriate reference material. FTIR instruments can be misleading because although they will always produce a finite result with two or more decimal places, an improperly calibrated instrument will never match actual values. This can cause dairy operations to make disadvantageous business or quality decisions.
Our last publication showed the economic impact of proper calibration on your business and production. This publication will cover two additional important points:
1.) How to choose the right calibration set for your application
2.) What criteria you must have for optimal calibration samples
