It is necessary to take in account that these results are not accurate since for fraction n was very close in size to the blank, therefore for this fraction mass 36 is not reliable and no age information can be reported. However, since this is a very small fraction with only ~0.82% of the 39 Ar released, it has very little effect in the integrated results.
