How do I determine the Blank Bag Correction factor?
The Blank Bag Correction allows for a weight adjustment based on actions that take place during solublization. The resulting factor adjusts your sample bag weight in an up or downward direction. To determine the Blank Bag Correction, you simply include at least one empty, sealed and weighed filter bag with your run. After the samples and blank bag have been through the solublization process and dried as required, you simply divide the end weight of the blank by the start weight. This will result in a factor usually in the 0.992 0.998 range. The Blank Bag Correction can also be used to calibrate your values to a known value.
