Peer Group Analysis
With the purchase of all VALIDATE® linearity and calibration verification kits, LGC Maine Standards provides a Data Reduction Service that is free of charge.
LGC Maine Standards' data reduction provides reports that not only include a linearity analysis of your data, but also an analysis of your results in comparison with your peers. The linearity analysis is specific to your instrument’s recovery and is based on the fact that all of our VALIDATE® products are manufactured using an Equal Delta Dilution method. Peer Group Analysis helps you determine whether any nonlinearities are unique to your instrument system in comparison with your peers running the same instrument, analyte, reagent method and units of measure.
