The selectivity of method is the selectivity determination of this substance in presence other without of previous separation High selectivity is inherent the methods, which are based on characteristic properties of molecules, functional groups, atoms, which in same queue own emission and absorbcition properties, radio-activity, ability to electrochemical oxidization or reduction. Low selectivity is characteristic, for example, refractometry is used for the analysis of individual substances or mixtures with 2-3 substances.

The regularity of method is closeness the got result to the truth value of content of the determined substance in the experimental object Depends on how measured physical property is adequately reflects the structure and connected with it is strictly defined by laws. Exactness of calibration of analytical equipment will influence on the regularity of method.
