Chapter 5: Q2P (page 114)

What are the three parts of quality assurance? What questions are asked in each part and what actions are taken in each part?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The three parts of quality assurance are objectives, specifications and assessment.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Use Objectives

- Question:

- Why do we have to collect the data and results, and how will we interpret these results?

- Action:

- We take note of the use objectives.

02

Specifications

- Question:

- How good should these numbers (measurements, responses, samples, etc.) have to be?

- Actions:

- We have to take note of the specifications.

- We choose the efficient methods to meet the specifications.

- We also have to account for the sampling, precision, accuracy, selectivity, sensitivity, detection limit, robustness, and the rate of false results.

- We also have to perform blanks, fortification, calibration checks, quality control samples, and control the charts to keep track of the performance.

- We then write and strictly comply to the standard operating procedures.

03

Assessment

- Question:

- Were the main objectives satisfied?

- Actions:

- We contrast the gathered data and results with specifications.

- We always have to take note of the sets of procedures performed and record vital information.

- We have to make sure that these objectives are successfully met.

Explain the meaning of the quotation at the beginning of this chapter: “Get the right data. Get the data right. Keep the data right.”

How can you validate precision and accuracy?

Let C stand for concentration. One definition of spike recovery is%recovery=Cspikedsample-CunspikedsampleCaded×100

An unknown was found to contain10.0μgof analyte per liter. A spike ofrole="math" localid="1654945506958" 5.0μg/Lwas added to a replicate portion of unknown. Analysis of the spiked sample gave a concentration of15.3μg/LFind the percent recovery of the spike.

State when standard additions and internal standards, instead of a calibration curve, are desirable, and why.

Correlation coefficient and Excel graphing. Synthetic

data are given below for a calibration curve in which random Gaussian

noise with a standard deviation ofwas superimposed on

y values for the equationy=26.4x+1.37

. This exercise shows that

a high value ofR2

does not guarantee that data quality is excellent.

(a)Enter concentration in column A and signal in column B of a

spreadsheet. Prepare an XY Scatter chart of signal versus concentration

without a line as described in Section2-11

. Use LINEST

(Section 4-7) to find the least-squares parameters includingR2

.

(b)Now insert the Trendline by following instructions on page 88.

In the Options window used to select the Trendline, select Display

Equation and Display R-Squared. Verify that Trendline and LINEST

give identical results.

(c)Add 95%confidence interval y error bars following the instructions

at the end of Section 4-9. The95%

confidence interval is 6tsy,

wheresy

comes from LINEST and Student’s tcomes from Table 4-4

for95%confidence and11-2=9

degrees of freedom. Also, compute

t with the statement "=TINV(0.05,9)".
