Thanks for your help!

Preparation
Explanation:
The accutrate term translation: "Aufarbeitung" = Preparation

The translation of the complete phrase:
"Beispielchromatogramm einer Blank Aufarbeitung" = "Example chromatogram of a blank preparation."

In this context, the term "Aufarbeitung" refers to the preparation or processing of mixture for analysis, which often happens in a laboratory. In chromatography, a sample may need to be purified or concentrated before it can be run through the instrument, and this process is called "preparation" or "Aufarbeitung" in German. this process is critical to obtaining accurate results. The term "blank" in this context refers to a control sample that contains no analyte, used to help correct for any background or noise in the measurement.

Conclusion: The phrase in this context is referring to an example chromatogram of a control sample that has undergone preparation before being analyzed, likely in a chemistry experiment or analysis.

Of course, you decide!
Processing is a good translation. But a short note would probably help to convince you to use the term "preparation instead.
The term "processing" can be ambiguous and doesn't necessarily convey the specific nature of the preparation step referred in this context.
Of this reason, "preparation" would be a better a translation for this term because it specifically refers to the process of preparing a sample for analysis, which is the main focus of the phrase in "Beispielchromatogramm einer Blank Aufarbeitung."
But, as I mentioned, you decide!

Explanation:
"work-up" and "mock-up" are absolutely 100% wrong. They describe sample preparation, not blank testing.

Thank you.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Khalil, Thanks for your input. I had translated it as "processing" which is along the same lines, but perhaps "preparation" is even better.

Asker: Yes, you convinced me. "Processing" may be a tad too broad. Thank you!
