fraction is calculated for all standards, and the calculated
trans

fraction for all standards is averaged together
(T

all standards.

Preparation of standard curves
.—For each working
standard concentration, average the peak areas from each
two consecutive sets of standards. Prepare a standard curve
by performing a linear least-squares regression on
trans
concentration versus averaged peak areas. A standard curve
must have an r
2
of 0.999 or better to be acceptable.
