Several factors contribute to instrument variability in catalysis:
Calibration issues: Instruments may not be calibrated correctly, leading to inconsistent measurements. Environmental conditions: Changes in temperature, humidity, and pressure can affect instrument performance. Operator differences: Variability in how different operators handle the instrument can introduce errors. Instrument wear and tear: Over time, instruments may degrade, leading to increased variability. Sample preparation: Inconsistent sample preparation techniques can lead to variable results.
