A customer had to use the following formula to calculate the "variance" of his repeated injection:
a = Peak area
a(1) - a(2)
Variance(custom) = --------------------- x 100
a(mean)
The result can easily be calculated by multiplying the RSTDEV by 1.41421 and applying the % number format (which will multiply the result by 100)
The attached document shows the proof of equivalence.
