Abstract: | In the course of the colorimetric determination of analytes using a procedure with discrete readings the measurement uncertainly
cannot be calculated in the normally practiced manner. The basic principle of the analytical method used is a stepwise and
non-equidistant reading. Based on the fact that half a step can be estimated, a calculation of the measurement uncertainty
for the 95% confidence level is possible; this is needed to allow a reliable decision of whether a critical value is exceeded
or not.
