What Are Common Sources of Inaccuracy in Toxicology?
Several factors can lead to inaccuracies in toxicological testing:
Instrumental Errors: Malfunctioning or improperly calibrated equipment can result in erroneous data. Human Error: Mistakes in sample preparation, data entry, or interpretation can affect accuracy. Environmental Factors: Conditions such as temperature and humidity can influence chemical reactions and measurements. Chemical Interferences: Other substances present in the sample may interfere with the analysis, skewing results.
