Abstract

BackgroundThe concept of selectivity is used extensively in analytical chemistry in both quantitative and qualitative analyses. While in the first case, the definition and use of selectivity have been somehow regulated, in the second case it remains a vague concept. ResultsIn this paper we propose a new definition of selectivity in qualitative analysis as well as the way to estimate it numerically. SignificanceIt is shown how selectivity can be used practically to compare analytical objects, measurement techniques, and data modeling methods.
