Abstract
A calibration step in an analytical procedure is often not adequately treated, although it is a very important step in the analysis. Also, the approach to the nomenclature seems to be disrespectful. In order to resolve this problem we chose a new classification based on both how the calibration dependence is reconstructed, and how the measurement data is then transformed. In this paper we discussed the steps of a developed calibration procedure in the determination of trace elements in rat brain tissues by the Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LA ICP-TOF-MS) method. The developed calibration procedure uses the long established calibration method - the method of standard addition - although the standard samples are in this case the rat brain tissue samples. The results show the usefulness of the procedure developed in the presented analytical problem related to the analysis of solid samples, which is where the work is original.
