Method validation

Method validation is the process used to ensure that a scientific test or procedure produces accurate, reliable, and consistent results for its intended purpose. It involves systematically evaluating various aspects of the method, such as its accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. By doing this, scientists can confirm that the method is suitable for analyzing samples correctly, minimizing errors and ensuring trustworthy data for decision-making, quality control, or research. In essence, method validation provides confidence that the testing process works as intended and produces valid results.
