331. partial validation Series of analytical experiments where only relevant parts of the validation are repeated after method modifications or transfer of an existing fully validated bioanalytical method.
332. peak area The area of the peak on a chromatogram produced by a substance subjected to chromatographic analysis. Proportional to either the concentration or mass of the substance, depending on the mode of detection.
333. peak area ratio Ratio of the instrument response peak area of the target compound in the sample to the peak area of an internal standard.
334. peak capacity Chromatographic resolution demonstrated by showing the maximal number of peaks that can be baseline resolved in a given chromatographic time window.
