Pieter-Jan,

Did you collect reference spectra along side the unknown samples?  In that
case just calibrate one of the reference channels and then use align spectra
which shifts the the other selected reference spectrum to the calibrated
one.  Each reference channel will be shifted to the calibrated one along
with corrsponding sample channel.

buena salud,

Chris Patridge
