Provisional Recommendations

Analytical Chemistry Division
Commission on General Aspects of Analytical Chemistry

Recommendations for the use of the term "recovery" in analytical procedures

The terms recovery and apparent recovery are recommended to avoid confusion caused by the use of the term recovery to cover two distinct situations. Namely, the two situations deal with the yield of a preconcentration or extraction stage of an analytical process and the ratio, observed value/reference value, obtained using an analytical process with calibration graph.
