Semiquantitative analysis

Semiquantitative analysis refers to a method used in testing to estimate the amount or concentration of a substance in a sample without providing an exact measurement. Instead, it categorizes the substance’s presence into general levels—such as low, moderate, or high—based on the test results. This approach offers a useful understanding of the substance's relative amount while being quicker and less precise than fully quantitative methods. It is commonly used in fields like medical diagnostics, environmental testing, and chemistry to provide timely, relevant information when exact measurements are not necessary.
