81. lappuse - I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind: it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.
132. lappuse - Bias — a systematic error inherent in a method or caused by some artifact or idiosyncrasy of the measurement system. Temperature effects and extraction inefficiencies are examples of errors inherent in the method.
9. lappuse - All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy.
132. lappuse - A certified reference material is a "reference material one or more of whose property values are certified by a technically valid procedure accompanied by or traceable to a certificate or other documentation which is issued by a certifying body.

131. lappuse - ... folding." analytical curve — the graphical representation of a relation between some function of radiant power and the concentration or mass of the substance emitting or absorbing it analytical wavelength— any wavelength at which an absorbance measurement is made for the purpose of the determination of a constituent of a sample.
131. lappuse - Laboratory accreditation is the formal recognition that a testing laboratory is competent to carry out specific test(s) or specific type(s) of tests.

131. lappuse - Beer's law — the absorbance of a homogeneous sample containing an absorbing substance is directly proportional to the concentration of the absorbing substance. See also absorptivity Bouguer's law — the absorbance of a homogeneous sample is directly proportional to the thickness of the sample in the optical path.
