Accuracy in sampling analysis could be determined by analyzing a reference material of known concentration(or value), or by re-analyzing a sample to which a material of known concentration has been added(recovery method). For example, if T is the total concentration of a water quality parameter in a spiked sample, U is the concentration of the same parameter in the unspiked sample, and A is the amount of the parameter added to the hitherto unspiked sample, the percent recovery R is calculated as R=100(T-U)/A. The process is called "spiking". 2, record 2, English, - unspiked%20sample
