Looking forword to your reply!

Scale Factor is a factor multiplying the calculated values in the Amount column in Result table. It is Method specific (the same for all samples processed by the method). It could be used to amend the units defined in the Calibration Options (hence the Units after Scaling) or to apply any method specific correction factor to the results.

Similar is a Dilution in the Sample Header - it performs the same, but is sample specific.

Please refer to the Clarity Reference Guide or context Help for the relevant topics.
