In this article, a practical procedure for absolute intensity calibration for small-angle scattering (SAXS) studies on liquid microjets is established. A gold nanoparticle suspension is used as standard so that the intercept at Q = 0 of the SAXS scattering curve provides a scaling reference. In order to obtain the most precise extrapolation at Q = 0, an extension of the Guinier approximation has been used, with a second-order term in the fit that adapts to a larger Q range.
