Abstract
A set of operations that establishes,under specified conditions, a suitable relationship between values of quantities indicated by the measuring system, and the corresponding values realized by standards [i]. The measuring system can involve a simple volumetric flask [ii] or sophisticated instrumental techniques [iii].Most instrumental methods of analysis are relative since they register a signal due to some physical property of the → analyte. Spectrometers, for example, measure the fraction of electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed from a light source by the sample.
