Comparing records measured by different methods
The same compound name does not make analytical results directly comparable. Different separation methods, detector settings or calculation bases can change what a reported value represents.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
A useful comparison begins with method metadata. Where the archive lacks enough detail, report the values descriptively and explain the limitation. Averaging them does not remove the underlying difference.
Reading checklist
- Compare method metadata first
- Keep calculation bases visible
- Label descriptive summaries appropriately
Reference: Chromatographic resolution.
