In this paper we propose a new method for calculating the response of the quark condensate to the chemical potential. Based on the method of calculating the dressed-quark propagator at finite chemical potential in the framework of the rainbow-ladder approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger approach proposed in [H. S. Zong, L. Chang, F. Y. Hou, W. M. Sun, and Y. X. Liu, Phys. Rev. C 71, 015205 (2005).] and adopting the meromorphic form of the quark propagator given in [R. Alkofer, W. Detmold, C. S. Fischer, and P. Maris, Phys. Rev. D 70, 014014 (2004).][M. S. Bhagwat, M. A. Pichowsky, and P. C. Tandy, Phys. Rev. D 67, 054019 (2003).], the quark condensate at finite chemical potential <qq>[{mu}] is calculated analytically. The obtained expression for <qq>[{mu}] is real, which is different from the results in the previous literature. In addition, it is found that when the chemical potential {mu} is less than a critical one <qq>[{mu}] is kept unchanged from its vacuum value. A comparison is made between this behavior of the quark condensate and those reported in the previous literatures.
