Working Group Chemometrics and Laboratory Data Processing

Working Group Chemometrics and Laboratory Data Processing

The working group "Chemometrics and Laboratory Data Processing" within the division of Analytical Chemistry in the German Chemical Society (GDCh) emerged from the former working groups of Chemometrics and Laboratory Automation, which united in 1994. According to the aims of those two former groups, our group focuses on the combination of data acquisition in the laboratory, their statistical evaluation, plausibility checks and the appropriate quality assurance as good analysis practice.

The group addresses in particular persons who acquire and process data by means of both stationary analysis and dynamic processes. Hence, the working group is interested in laboratory information management systems, computer-controlled spectrometers and general analytical devices as well as in different model-free and model-afflicted multivariate methods of data analysis.
