title: Some remarks on the information power and selectivity of analytical processes.
abstract: The consistency of the equation given by Shannon for the transfer of maximum amount of information in one channel, and the equation deduced by Kaiser for the expression of the information power of analytical methods is shown. The fundamental difference between the maximum amount of information obtainable by an instrument and that by an analytical procedure is reported. In the second case the selectivity of the analytical procedure also has to be taken into consideration.
