Quantitative analysis

Basic terminology that you need to know which may not be discussed in detail on the tutorial. 
Sample
Analyte
Matrix: any substances other than analyte contained in the sample
Accuracy (but observe that the term ”trueness” is also used in the same context)
Precision
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Destructive and Non‐destructive Analysis
Sensitivity
Noise
Detection limit
signal/noise ratio = 3 times refers to the methodology detection limit (LOD)
- Instrumental detection limit (LOD)
The aspects influence on the LOD including: sample treatment (handling sample), increasing resolution.
to increase the LOD: reduce noise, increase time measurement, preconcentration.
Basic statistics (including significant figures)
