  "term": "External calibration",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A calibration method in which the analytical instrument is standardized using a series of known concentrations of the analyte, prepared separately from the sample matrix. A calibration curve is then constructed by plotting the instrument response against the known concentrations. This curve is subsequently used to determine the concentration of the analyte in unknown samples.",
