The following equation is used to calculate an exponential, new exponential, or gaussian skim:
Hb(tR) = H0 * exp (- B * (tR - t0)) + A * tR + C
where | |
Hb |
Height of the exponential skim at time tR |
H0 |
Height (above baseline) of the start of the skim (different estimates for exponential and gaussian skim) |
B |
Decay factor (different estimates for exponential and gaussian skim) |
t0 |
Time corresponding to the start of the skim (different estimates for exponential and gaussian skim) |
tR |
Retention time |
A |
Slope of the baseline of the parent peak |
C |
Offset of the baseline of the parent peak (different estimates for exponential and gaussian skim) |
