Definitions
noun
1
A person applying for a patent that conflicts with an earlier one.
2
A compound in the sample that produces readings which overlap those of the analyte, making analysis more difficult.
In many cases, the absolute amount of the interferant is more effective to induce an observed interference than the interferant/analyte ratio.
Equation (1.15) may be used to evaluate the selectivity coefficient for that interferant.
