Qualitative refers to what a sample is, while quantitative refers to how much of that materal is present.
Quantitative means that it is concerned with how much. Qualitative means that it is only concerned with the kind. And example of quantitative would be the number of trees in a park, and an example of qualitative would be whether you have blue eyes or brown eyes.
Quantitative is quantity, like how many there is. like the number of peanuts. qualitative is quality, like how much something is worth. like the platinum watch.
In assays, or medical tests, both qualitative and quantitative tests occur. The qualitative test identifies the presence or absence of the pathogen or toxin (or other molecule) being tested for, while the quantitative test hopes to measure how much of that particular substance is in the body.
I'm going to make a guess you're asking the difference between qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative means what kind of and quantitative means how much of. It's easiest to explain this in chemical terms. Starting with a glass of salty water, you can taste it and say it contains salt -- that's qualitative. If you evaporate the water and measure how much salt remains -- that's quantitative .
qualitative = how good something is quantitative= how much of it there is
Quantitative data is quantity - how much. Qualitative data is quality - is it good? what is it like?

A qualitative experiment is one where you determine WHAT happens, as opposed to a quantitative experiment where you measure how much of something happens.
You have to be more specific. Every lab test is either qualitative or quantitative. What is the test specifically for?

Quantitate is how things are measured: height, length, volume while qualitative is the amount of something in something else. How much iron is in steel? How much silver in sterling silver?
Quantitative measures are numerical data that can be measured and expressed in terms of quantity. Qualitative measures are non-numerical data that are observed and described based on characteristics or attributes. Quantitative measures are used to quantify and analyze data objectively, while qualitative measures provide insight into quality, emotions, perceptions, or behaviors.
