Abstract

A method for analyzing a test sample is disclosed, the test sample comprising at least one compound. A test sample comprising at least one compound is provided. Next, the at least one compound in the test sample is determined, thereby generating raw results. The generated raw results are analyzed, wherein the analysis of the test sample is accompanied by an analysis of at least one reference sample. The test sample and the reference sample are analyzed in an identical sequence in each step of the method. A system for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
