Performing The Matrix Correction - Hach AN-ISE SC Manual Del Usuario

Correction option Application
A 1-point matrix correction is the most commonly used correction option and performs a 1-point
matrix correction for ammonium and/or nitrate
matrix correction as the first correction. The 1-point matrix correction can be performed both with
1-point matrix and without correction of the compensation electrodes (potassium or chloride); in most cases, it is
correction sufficient to perform it without correction. A correction featuring potassium and/or chloride is only
necessary if a high level of accuracy is required. With a 1-point matrix correction, a sample must be
taken when the correction is triggered and analyzed in the laboratory. The 1-point matrix correction is
activated when the laboratory value is entered.
1-point value correction (correction at one concentration point) corresponds to a 1-point matrix
correction with an alternative entry format.
1-point value
correction
Comparison values between the ISE probe and the laboratory can be collected over a period of
around a week with this correction. The correction can be performed at a later stage.
2-point value correction (correction at 2 different concentration points) should be performed if
dynamic concentration fluctuations are present over at least half a decade
2-point value
matrix correction or 1-point value correction does not achieve a sufficiently accurate result.

The 2-point matrix correction corresponds to a 2-point value correction, but uses an
alternative entry format and is recommended if there is a dynamic process with a large
2-point matrix

Note: Take laboratory value measurements or reference values promptly
or, alternatively, take these from the stabilized sample. This will prevent
changes in sample concentration, as time is a factor in comparative tests.

laboratory measurement tests.
