Calculating Relative Correction Factors for Quantitative Analysis with HILIC-HPLC-ELSD Method: Eight Fructooligosaccharides of Morinda Officinalis as a Case Study

Table 2

The six methods for calculating the relative correction factor.

Method	Formula of RCF
A [22]	lgAk = lgCk−detected × Fs + b
	RCF^# = Ck−detected/Ck
B [23, 24]	RCF = Fk/Fs
C [25]	RCF^# = (Cs/lgAs)/(Ck/lgAk)
D [3]	RCF^# = (lgCk/lgAk)/(lgCs/lgAs)
E [26]	RCF^# = (As/Cs)/(Ak/Ck)
F [22]	RCF = 1.00

b was the intercept of the linear equation for the single marker. ^#The RCF of each analyte was the average of RCFs at different concentration levels.
