The Theory of Sampling

The Theory of Sampling (TOS) is a scientific approach that ensures the sample collected from a larger batch accurately represents the whole. It considers how particles or components are distributed and emphasizes proper sampling procedures to avoid bias or errors. By understanding the variability within the material and following systematic methods, TOS helps ensure that analysis results are reliable, whether for quality control, research, or safety assessments. Essentially, it provides a framework to obtain representative samples that truly reflect the characteristics of the entire batch.
