A

Dependent variable

36
Q

Separate samples taken from the same source; not the result of subdividing one sample

A

Duplicates

37
Q

A calibration curve in which the standards are made in simple solvents that may not match the matrix

A

External standard curve

38
Q

Terms used to describe the performance of a validated analytical method

Fitness for purpose

40
Q

A variable with a value that doesn’t depend on or derive from any other variables

A

Independent variable

41
Q

A calibration method that involves addition of internal standards to all samples and standards and to which concentrations and responses are ratioed

42
Q

Samples with known accepted values

A

Knowns

43
Q

A fit of a line or other curve to a set of points that is optimized by minimizing the total difference of all points to the curve. Distances are squared to eliminate potential canceling with some (+) and others (-) relative to the curve

Least-squares regression

44
Q

45
Q

The smallest amount or the lowest concentration of a substance that is possible to be determined by means of a given analytical procedure with the established accuracy, precision, and uncertainty

A

Limit of quantification (LDR)

46
Q

The process of creating a straight line and linear equation to describe the relationship between a dependent and independent variable

A

Linear regression

47
Q

The situation that arises when the solvent system used to generate a calibration curve doesn’t match the matrix of the sample

A

Matrix mismatch

48
Q

55
Q

Repeat measurements of the same criteria under similar conditions; multiple samples derived from one larger sample

A

Replicates

56
Q

Closeness of the agreement between the results of measurements of the same measurand under controlled conditions; typically broader than repeatability

A

Reproducibility

57
Q

Analytes purposely added to a sample to gauge recovery and flag potential matrix problems and affects

A

Spike

58
Q

A calibration method which uses the sample as the matrix and to which increasing aliquots of the standard analyte are added

A

Standard addition

59
Q

A cradle-to-grave approach to quality assurance that integrates all aspects inside and outside of a particular organization or lab

A

Total quality management (TQM)

60
Q

The ability to relate a measurement or piece of equipment to an unassailable standard
