Reference Peak

Reference peaks are references for calculating relative retention times for different substance peaks. The relative retention time can be indicated as an absolute time difference (in minutes) or as a percentage (retention time substance peak/retention time reference peak).

In addition, reference peaks can be used for calculating the Relative Peak Area, the Relative Peak Height, and the Resolution.
