Data calculation, analysis, and reporting

Abstract

The reputation of the radioanalytical chemistry laboratory is based on the extent to which its reported results are judged to be reliable and reported in a form responsive to customer needs. The effort to obtain and provide such data requires the competent execution of every analytical step in the process, as well as adherence to the quality assurance tenets discussed in Chapter 11. The result of these interlocking activities should be an accurate and defensible data set. This chapter addresses the processing and evaluation of those data. © 2007 Springer.
