title: Generalization of a new calibration method based on linear correlation.
abstract: This paper communicates modifications to our new calibration method based on linear correlation, described in detail in a former paper [Spectrochim. Acta 56B, 1159], which extend its applicability. The presented, generalized linear correlation method (GLCM) can be applied in any spectroscopic method for quantitation, and also when multielemental, trace solutions are analyzed and the analysis is not complete. Applications of the method to UV-Vis spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are also presented. The method showed a good, typically 1-5%, accuracy in all applications.
