Calibration in Analytical Science
Designed to help analytical chemists save time and money by selecting the best calibration method in a quality control, substance monitoring, or research setting
Univariate analytical calibration is a vital step in every chemical procedure that involves determining the identity or concentration of a particular substance. Depending on the type of instrument and measurement, analytical chemists need to follow different calibration strategies and protocols to ensure their instruments yield accurate readings.
Calibration in Analytical Science systematically classifies and describes a wide range of calibration methods and procedures based on mathematical and empirical models for use in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Focusing on the chemical aspects of analytical calibration, this much-needed reference uses a set of equipment-independent terms and definitions that are easily transferable to the calibration strategies of any analytical process. The theoretical basis for calibration of each analytical mode is described and applied to common analytical tasks of increasing levels of difficulty and complexity. Throughout the book, the author illustrates how to combine different calibration approaches to create new calibration strategies with extended capabilities.
