    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of chemical constituent stability is crucial for sample integrity in various scientific fields.
    • Existing methods for determining sample stability often lack quantitative rigor and clear statistical definitions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a quantitative definition for the stability of chemical constituents in stored samples.
    • To introduce a statistically sound experimental and graphical method for measuring chemical stability.

    Main Methods:

    • Defining stability based on the relationship between average change in measured value and the precision (standard deviation) of the measurement method.
    • Utilizing a graphical truncated normal sequential test for experimental design and data analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed definition allows for a clear, quantitative assessment of chemical stability over a defined period and under specific conditions.
    • The graphical truncated normal sequential test provides an appropriate statistical framework for stability studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed quantitative definition and statistical method offer a robust approach to assessing chemical stability.
    • This framework enhances the reliability and comparability of stability data for stored chemical samples.
