How to calculate relative content in gas chromatography?
In gas chromatography, the calculation of 'relative content' is typically used for qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis. Essentially, it uses a certain signal intensity (usually peak area) as an approximate indicator of compound content. Common methods for calculating relative content are as follows:
I. Conventional formula for relative content (uncorrected)
