Output unit selection (absorbance mAU -> AU)

Hi there,

ist it possible to convert my Output Absorbance (Y-value) from mAU (recieved from our PDA) tu AU. I think that we have, due to the fact that we have mAU, Problems concerning Peak purity.

Empower tells me, when created a PDA PM, that i have my Maximum Absorbance of 250 AU instead of mAU.


greetings,

Marcel.

  • Hi,

    Have you looked for answers to your question in our Waters Knowledge Base? Lots of great information in there. You can even find KB articles by searching for them using a search engine like Google.

    1000 mAU = 1 AU.


    For PDA recommend not to exceed 1 AU (max 880 mAU but not below 550mAU)

    Low signal intensity will mean S/N ratio  possibly < 10 and chance small variances in the baseline will cause a failure of the peak purity test (purity angle < purity threshold

    Also what threshold are you using (Auto , Noise + solvent or Noise or solvent)?
