What factors influence the required number of samples?
Several factors influence the required number of samples in catalytic studies:
1. Variability of the System: High variability in the system requires more samples to achieve reliable results. 2. Sensitivity of the Detection Methods: More sensitive detection methods may require fewer samples. 3. Objective of the Study: Exploratory studies may need fewer samples compared to detailed mechanistic studies. 4. Statistical Power: Ensuring adequate statistical power often necessitates a larger sample size.
