Blank filter - How is the "Sample Average" calculated?

[FalcoB294]

Hi,

we are usually using the function "Remove features based on blank information" and the Sample Average/Blank average filter, which is quite a nice feature.

One question to this.
When calculating the "Sample average" of a feature, does this consider also the intensities of the blank samples, next to the intensities of QC and study samples?

Thanks for feedback!
