  • CHAPTER 13 WET DIGESTION METHODS Henryk Matusiewicz
    CHAPTER 13 WET DIGESTION METHODS Henryk Matusiewicz Politechnika Poznańska, Department of Analytical Chemistry, 60-965 Poznań, Poland ABSTRACT Sample preparation is the critical step of any analytical protocol, and involves steps from simple dilution to partial or total digestion. The present review focuses on wet digestion methods used for solid and liquid sample pre-treatment. The methods include wet decomposition and dissolution of the organic and inorganic samples, in open and closed systems, using thermal and radiant (ultraviolet and microwave) energy. The present and future tendencies for sample preparation also involve on-line decomposition and vapor-phase acid digestion. The intent is not to present the procedural details for the various samples, but rather to highlight the methods which are unique to each instrumental technique exist for the elemental analysis. The advantages and disadvantages of the various wet digestion methods have been emphasized. The bibliography accompanying this review should aid the analytical chemist in his/her search for the detailed preparation protocols. Chapter 13 1 INTRODUCTION AND BRIEF HISTORY Sample (matrix) digestion plays a central role in almost all analytical processes, but is not often recognized as an important step in analytical chemistry, with primary attention being directed to the determination step. This sense of priorities is reflected all too conspicuously in the equipment and investment planning of many analytical laboratories. However, a welcome trend in recent years points toward fuller recognition of the true importance of sample digestion (decomposition, dissolution) in the quest for high-quality analytical results and valid conclusions. Wet digestion with oxidizing acids is the most common sample preparation procedure.

  • NIRS White Paper.Indd
    NIRS WHITE PAPER NNeare a r IInfran f r a rrede d SSpecp e c ttrosr o s ccopyo p y for forage and feed testing History and utility Initially described in the literature in 1939, NIRS was fi rst applied to agricultural products in 1968 by Karl Norris and co-workers. They observed that cereal grains exhibited specifi c absorption bands in the NIR region and suggested that NIR instruments could be used to measure grain protein, oil, and moisture. Research in 1976 demonstrated that absorption of other specifi c wavelengths was correlated with chemical analysis of forages. John Shenk and his research team utilized a custom designed spectro-computer system in 1977 to pro- vide rapid and accurate analysis of forage quality. Early in 1978, this group developed a portable instrument for use in a mobile van to deliver nutrient analysis of forages directly on-farm and at hay auctions. This evolved into the use of university extension mobile NIR vans in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. In 1978, the USDA NIRS For- age Network was founded to develop and test computer software to advance the science of NIRS grain and forage testing. By 1983, several commercial companies had begun mar- keting NIR instruments and software packages for forage and feed analysis. Application of this scientifi c technique today allows laboratories and equipment manufac- turers to serve the livestock industry by providing rapid, highly reproducible and cost-ef- fective analysis of grain and forage via a non-destructive method requiring minimal sample preparation. Perhaps the greatest contribution of NIR-based analysis is that it reduces the total analytical error (sampling and laboratory) because a larger number of sub-samples or sequential samples can be assayed with a limited analytical budget than is possible using the more expensive wet chemistry approaches.

To this end, a selective adsorption-detection approach relied on adsorptive transfer stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdTDPV) was devised, where the high adsorption capacity and the electrochemical properties of ERGO were simultaneously exploited. The approach was very simple, fast (6 min.), highly selective by combining the adsorptive and the electrochemical features of tetracyclines, and it used just 10 µL of the sample. The electrochemical sensor applicability was demonstrated in the analysis of environmental and food samples.

  • Sample Preparation for Atomic Spectroscopic Analysis: an Overview
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2012, 3 (3): 1733-1737 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Sample preparation for atomic spectroscopic analysis: An overview Nabil Ramadan Bader a and Barbara Zimmermann b aChemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Benghazi University, Benghazi, Libya bDepartment of Water Technology, IWW Water-Centre, Muelheim A.D. Ruhr, Germany _____________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Sample preparation is an important step in chemical analysis, from time and reagent consuming point of view and from the probability of errors. In the present article, types of samples, problems associated with sample preparation, and sample preparation for most used atomic spectroscopic techniques, FAAS, GFAAS, ICP, and XRF have been discussed. Keywords: Sample preparation, Atomic spectroscopy, decomposition, separation, pre-concentration. _____________________________________________________________________________ Analysis by atomic spectroscopic methods practically always necessitates a simple or more complex preparation of the sample. These steps of sample preparation are generally the most critical part of analysis because they are responsible for the most errors.[1-3] In an analytical method sample preparation is followed by a separation and detection procedure. Only a few direct methods allow the introduction of the sample without any preparation. In these cases the lack of reliable calibration is the major problem. On the other hand, sample preparation allows the separation and/or pre-concentration of analytes and makes possible the use of several determination methods. Sample preparations involve digestion, extraction and preparation of the analytes before the analysis, so this step is time limiting, requiring ca . 61% of the total time to perform the complete analysis, and is responsible for 30% of the total analysis error.

  • 14 Validation of Analytical Methods Based on Chromatographic Techniques: an Overview Juan Peris-Vicente, Josep Esteve-Romero, and Samuel Carda-Broch
    CH14V6 05/14/2015 3:1:17 Page 1 1 14 Validation of Analytical Methods Based on Chromatographic Techniques: An Overview Juan Peris-Vicente, Josep Esteve-Romero, and Samuel Carda-Broch 14.1 What Validation Is? The purpose of any analytical method is to provide consistent, reliable, and accu- rate data. For this reason, the performances and the limitations of the method, as well as the external influences which may modify these features, must be deter- mined prior to its use. Validation plays a major role in achieving this goal [1,2]. The word “validation” comes from the Latin term validus, meaning worth/strong, thus suggesting that something is true, useful, and reliable [3]. The most accurate definition of validation is that provided by ISO 9000:2000 as the confirmation, by means of a thorough examination and obtaining realistic and unequivocal evidences, that the procedure is effectively applicable for its indented purpose [4]. Validation is the act of proving that any approach, strategy, experimental pro- cedure, process, laboratory staff, instrumentation, reagents, and room conditions selected for the method will function in a proper way under a fixed set of condi- tions. Besides, it can be used to individually evaluate the appropriateness of these factors [5]. The validation evaluates the range and conditions of applicability, and checks if every future measurement in routine analysis will provide a con- centration of the analyte close enough to the true value [6]. In addition, it can also quantify the degree of coincidence of a measured concentration and the true value, by the calculation of the bias and the uncertainty associated with the result [7].

Received: 30 September 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: Although most plastic pollution originates on land, current research largely remains focused on aquatic ecosystems. Studies pioneering terrestrial microplastic research have adapted analytical methods from aquatic research without acknowledging the complex nature of soil. Meanwhile, novel methods have been developed and further refined. However, methodical inconsistencies still challenge a comprehensive understanding of microplastic occurrence and fate in and on soil. This review aims to disentangle the variety of state-of-the-art sample preparation techniques

It is estimated Food authenticity that global food fraud costs approximately $US49b annually. In relation to testing for this malpractice, analytical Spectroscopy technologies exist to detect fraud but are usually expensive and lab based. However, recently there has been a Chemometric model move towards non-targeted methods as means for detecting food fraud but the question arises if these techniques Non-targeted will ever be accepted as routine.
