Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for measuring properties of samples with standardized spectroscopic systems. The methods can include (i) measuring, with a first spectroscopic system, spectra of at least three different reference targets; (ii) calibrating the first spectroscopic system; (iii) measuring, with the first spectroscopic system, a spectrum of a known reference specimen having a known value of the property; (iv) generating a model for the measured property using the spectrum of the known reference specimen; (v) measuring, with a second spectroscopic system, the spectra of at least three different reference targets; (vi) calibrating the second spectroscopic system; (vii) applying the model to the second spectroscopic system; (viii) measuring a spectrum of the sample using the second spectroscopic system; and (ix) determining a value of the property using the model.
