It is the daily monitoring of accuracy and precision
Internal QC
QC that has long-term accuracy
External QC
How long is the minimum availability for QC materials?
Minimum of 1 year
It is the dispersion of values from the mean
Standard Deviation
Relative magnitude of variability (%)
Coefficient of Variance
SD^2 and measure of variability
Variance
Means of 2 groups of data
T-test
SD of 2 groups of data
F-test

Gradual loss of reliability
Trend
Cause of Trend
Deterioration of reagents (Systematic error)
Cause of Shift
Improper calibration (Systematic error)
One side or either side of mean
Shift
Degree of flatness or sharpness
Kurtosis
Precision is what type of error?
Random error
Accuracy is what type of error?
Systematic error
Distance between successive peaks (nm)
Wavelength
Measures light intensity in a narrower wavelength
Spectrophotometric Measurement
Measures light intensity w/o consideration of wavelength
Photometric Measurement
