Accuracy and Precision Assessment

Abstract

Volumetric glassware, mechanical pipettes, and balances are used in many analytical laboratories, including those doing food analysis. The use of this glassware and equipment must be mastered to help ensure accurate and precise results. The objective of this laboratory exercise is to familiarize, or refamiliarize, oneself with the use of balances, mechanical pipettes, and volumetric glassware, and to assess the accuracy and precision of the data generated.
