1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computer system, data from at least one analytical instrument monitoring at least one liquid sample;
executing, by the computer system, a set of logical operations segmenting the received data into data segments for three characteristics of at least one of the at least one analytical instrument, the at least one liquid sample, and at least one operating environment of the at least one analytical instrument,
wherein the three characteristics are noise, wander, and drift, and
wherein the data segments comprise
0-second to 30-second data segments for noise,
30-second to 5-minute data segments for wander, and
5-minute to n-minute data segments for drift, wherein n is a number less than or equal to 10;
executing, by the computer system, a set of logical operations analyzing each of the data segments for the three characteristics, resulting in analyzed data segments;
retrieving, by the computer system, threshold values for the three characteristics from a computer data source;
calculating, by the computer system, at least one status of at least one of the at least one analytical instrument, the at least one liquid sample, and the at least one operating environment, with respect to the analyzed data segments and the threshold values;
displaying, by the computer system, the at least one status on at least one display of the at least one analytical instrument; and
executing, by the computer system, a set of logical operations changing at least one operational state of the at least one analytical instrument with respect to the at least one status.
