Classification: G01N

Abstract:
A device for increasing accuracy of analysis of a sample, comprising:a first apparatus configured to receive a standard for chromatographic analysis and to generate a standard chromatographic test result represented by a set of standard chromatographic data indicative of said standard, said first apparatus being further configured to receive a sample for chromatographic analysis and to generate a sample chromatographic test result represented by a set of sample data indicative of said sample chromatographic test result, said standard chromatographic data and said sample data being generated by sampling each of said sample and said standard at a fixed rate;a processor for receiving said standard chromatographic data from said first apparatus and generating at least one set of variability data, from said standard chromatographic data said at least one set of variability data indicative of effects of a predetermined source of variability of said first apparatus on said standard chromatographic test result, said processor further generating a set of modified standard chromatographic data, corresponding to said standard chromatographic data modified as a function of said at least one set of variability data, in order to model variability of said sample chromatographic test result from said first apparatus.
