4. Performance verification, data validation, GLP
There are a number of ways of verifying the characteristics described in the previous paragraph 3 , some of which are standardized or regulated. Absorption spectrophotometry lends itself well to these verifications, and there is abundant literature on the subject.
Even if you are not subject to regulations or quality assurance procedures, it is essential to be familiar...

Websites
While the Internet is an extraordinary source of information, finding the right information is not always easy, particularly in the scientific and technical fields. The search for information is generally carried out using search engines, or meta-search engines that combine results obtained from several engines.
Two difficulties appear for this research:
