Assessment of Accuracy in Chromatographic Analysis
May 1st 2008The assessment of accuracy, which involves the estimation of precision and the determination of trueness, refers to the process of evaluating whether the results provided by analytical methods are close to accepted reference values. The different references available in chromatographic analysis and useful guidelines to perform such a comparison are described.
Using Second-Order Data in Chromatographic Analysis
July 1st 2004The authors discuss zero-, first- and second-order data and describe the advantages of using second-order chromatographic data compared with the more traditional univariate or multivariate calibration. They demonstrate how its use can uncover much more information from chromatograms and spectra.
