Ghost peaks are unknown or unwanted peaks that may interfere with the chromatogram and become a concern in qualitative and quantitative analysis.

The ghost peaks can also be termed extraneous peaks, artifact peaks, system peaks, pseudo peaks, vacancy peaks, eigen peaks, induced peaks, and spurious peaks. These peaks may arise from unknown impurities or artifacts within the system, such as contaminants from a dirty injector, carrier phase, extractable contaminant, autosampler vials, and caps, or from a contaminant carried over from a previous injection.
