Troubleshooting: Distillery, Water Treatment, Process Laboratory

The Client relied the skills of the S4BT Lab Consultants, who took care of both the analytical part of the project (development of the method and execution of all analytical tests), and of the documentary part, including the writing of the protocols and the related report.

The following requirements were verified for the development:

• Specificity
• A method’s ability to distinguish between the analyte to be measured and other substances
• Linearity
• The ability to provide results directly in proportion to the concentration of analytes in the samples within a certain validity range
• Accuracy
• Analysis of samples with a known concentration that must fall within a certain validity range
• Quantification limit
• The minimum point at which a compound can be quantified
• Determination limit
• The minimum point at which a compound can be seen but not quantised.
• Robustness
• The sensitivity of an analytical method to variations in experimental conditions
• Repeatability
• The determination of repeatability and instrumental precision
