Variable Shift And Alignment

Analytical techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and others suffer from variations in conditions under which measurements are performed. If different measurements are to be compared to each other, these analytical results should be made comparable. For this purpose, several methods that ensure correction of shifts in analytical data are available. This chapter gives an overview of methods that can be used especially when human intervention is not applicable anymore because of the huge amount of data becoming available nowadays.
