Could anyone please tell me how the response factor is calculated for a refractive index detector?

I have the same question.

The response factor (RF) is often used as the quota between the response and the concentration, assuming that the intercept is zero.
RF = response/concentration
derived from
y = kx + yo
k = y/x - yo
intercept = yo = 0
k = y/x

For refractive index detector rf is often not
linear. If it is not linear for your range of concentration you have to use a calibration curve.
