Quantification, Validation and Uncertainty in Analytical Sciences

This book provides foundational and expert knowledge by building on the sequence of operations starting from the quantification in analytical sciences by defining the analyte and its link to the calibration function. It empowers the reader to apply Method Accuracy Profile(MAP) efficiently as a statistical tool in measuring uncertainty. In this respect, this book is unique as it proposes a comprehensive approach to MU (Measurement Uncertainty) estimation. It elucidates several examples and template worksheets explaining the theoretical aspects of the procedure. It also allows the reader by providing practical insights to improve decision making by accurately evaluating and comparing different analytical methods
