Preferred Label : SM-interference;
IUPAC definition : interference by a substance that produces a signal by a similar mechanism to the analyte,
which in the given procedure (including the apparatus used) can not be distinguished
from the signal given by the analyte. For example, in a colour reaction with an organic
ligand by also reacting with the ligand and producing a coloured compound absorbing
at the same wavelength as the compound produced by the analyte or in an atomic spectrochemical
analysis by absorbing or emitting at the same wavelength as the analyte.;
