Peak area method

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008562",
  "term": "Peak area method",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A quantitative analytical technique that determines the concentration of an analyte by measuring the area under its corresponding peak in a chromatogram or spectrum. This method assumes a direct proportionality between the peak area and the amount of the substance present. Calibration curves are typically constructed using known concentrations to relate measured peak areas to unknown sample concentrations.",
