Why Skala TKN blank sample has a peak?

30 May 2023 0 9K Report

I performed TKN analysis on surface water using Skalar SAM++, and the blank samples (standard 6, ICB) showed absorbance peaks with the same height. Does it mean there is a contamination? Does anybody have the same problem and how to solve it?

Thanks!
