Background correction

For the baseline correction, the application evaluates the following spectra:

  • Spectrum at the baseline start of the peak

  • Spectrum at the baseline end of the peak

Baseline start and end times depend on the integration. If multiple peaks are only separated by a drop line, all peaks use the same spectra for background correction (see Baseline start and end depending on integration).

A linear interpolation of the two baseline spectra is calculated. To correct each individual peak spectrum, the application subtracts the interpolation spectrum at the corresponding retention time.
