Abstract
The Broughton equation for carryover constant k contains an assumption. It is shown that a slightly different equation can be derived in which there are no assumptions. A procedure is described whereby knowledge of the carryover constant k can be used to correct analytical results in computer-controlled instruments. In a commercial instrument, use of the wrong correction algorithm can lead to errors of 10% in the carryover correction.
