Although the validation process necessary to ensure that an analytical method is fit for purpose is universal, the emphasis
placed on different aspects of that process will vary according to the end use for which the analytical procedure is designed.
It therefore becomes difficult to produce a standard method validation protocol which will be totally applicable to all analytical
methods. It is probable that far more than 30% of the methods in routine laboratory use have not been validated to an appropriate
level to suit the problem at hand. This situation needs to change and a practical assessment of the degree to which a method
requires to be validated is the first step to a reliable and cost effective analytical industry.

There are a wide variety of spectrophotometric devices nowadays used in health services with various qualities of manufacture
methods of measurement and metrological characteristics for performing the necessary measurements. Therefore, to meet the
accuracy and repeatability requirements needed in medical diagnosis and treatment, the validation of the performance of such
systems by clinical chemistry laboratories is essential. However, the validation of a spectrophotometric system for clinical
analyses requires several reference materials, according to the end use of the measurement results. This paper discusses some
characteristics required of the clinical reference materials needed and used by Romanian Institute of Metrology for validation
work. Types of clinical reference materials developed in the national area for this purpose are also presented.

Beltest, the Belgian accreditation body, has investigated flexibilization of the scope of accreditation for chemistry laboratories
and food and water microbiology laboratories. This flexibilization, synonymous with test-type accreditation, allows a laboratory
to add new test methods or retry previous test methods without having to undergo a new audit by Beltest. It has been used
for nearly ten years by German and Swiss accreditation bodies. Flexibilization permits the validation of methods and results,
given that the competence of the particular laboratory is already well established. This new concept in microbiology allows
client’s needs to be adequately met, and facilitates the quick establishment of a method in several laboratories at once in
case of a public health crisis. The first laboratory to participate at this investigation on the flexibilization concept,
as a test of the concept, was the Belgian reference laboratory for food microbiology. 相似文献

The determination of dichlorobenzene and naphthalene in commercial repellents used in Spain has been validated. This was
done using an isocratic regime, to test the reverse -phase HPLC system with acetonitrile: water 65 : 35 (v: v) as the mobile
phase, at 20 °C. This technique is proposed for the modular validation of the HPLC system . The results obtained with this
method show good agreement with the results provided by the manufacturers of the mothrepellents.

The fact that various definitions and terminology applied to measurements in analytical chemistry are not always consistent
and straightforward, by not only answering the question ”what”, but also ”how”, leads to their various interpretations. This
results in non-uniform implementation of very basic and essential metrological principles in chemistry. Such a diverse situation
is not conducive to the endorsement of harmonised measurements all across the world, to serve as a tool for improving the
quality of life in its broadest sense for all its citizens. The discussion in this paper is focused on problems associated
with terminology and definitions of ’reference material’ and ’validation’. The role of reference materials in measurement
processes for purposes other than calibration and validation principles in analytical chemistry are also discussed in this
paper. Where possible, potential solutions are proposed, but more often, questions of essential importance are raised in order
to initiate international discussion which will hopefully lead to equally understandable answers.

Working group 5 of EuraChem Nederland has developed a framework for the implementation of reference materials in analytical
chemistry. In this discussed paper, the framework is proposed as a tool for the development of standard operation procedures
(SOPs) in laboratories. The implementation of (certified) reference materials in these SOPs is of major importance in establishing
comparability and traceability in measurement results, which in turn play a crucial role in measurement in support of trade,
environmental issues, and characterisation of materials. Recent developments in the field of uncertainty analysis require
the application of reference materials. It is recognised that the calculation of the combined measurement uncertainty becomes
almost impossible without the use of certified reference materials with a stated uncertainty.

The techniques of matrix dressing for configuration-interaction (CI)-type or coupled-electron-pair-approximation (CEPA)-type
correlation treatments are reviewed with respect to the application to periodic systems. All methods ranging from canonical
second-order M?ller–Plesset perturbation theory over CI of single and double excitation, CEPA-0 or the averaged-coupled-pair-functional
to self-consistent size-consistent CI can be formulated completely equivalently as an eigenvalue problem or as a solution
to a system of linear equations. The size consistency of each method is obtained in a natural way, and invariance under orbital
rotations is clearly assessible. A remark on the size consistency of the Davidson correction is presented. Additionally, the
direct generation of localized Hartree–Fock orbitals as basic ingredients for the correlation calculations are addressed,
as well as selected results on ring molecules, polymers, and 3D cubic beryllium as a model crystal.

Bioanalytical method validation and its implications for forensic and clinical toxicology – A review
The reliability of analytical data is very important to forensic and clinical toxicologists for the correct interpretation
of toxicological findings. This makes (bio)analytical method validation an integral part of quality management and accreditation
in analytical toxicology. Therefore, consensus should be reached in this field on the kind and extent of validation experiments
as well as on acceptance criteria for validation parameters. In this review, the most important papers published on this topic
since 1991 have been reviewed. Terminology, theoretical and practical aspects as well as implications for forensic and clinical
toxicology of the following validation parameters are discussed: selectivity (specificity), calibration model (linearity),
accuracy, precision, limits, stability, recovery and ruggedness (robustness).

Chromatographic separation techniques and data handling methods for herbal fingerprints: a review 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
As herbal medicines have an important position in health care systems worldwide, their current assessment and quality control are a major bottleneck. Over the past decade, major steps were taken not only to improve the quality of the herbal products but also to develop analytical methods ensuring their quality. Nowadays, chromatographic fingerprinting is the generally accepted technique for the assessment and quality control of herbal products. This paper briefly considers the evolution of the regulations and guidelines on the quality control of herbal medicines, and reviews the established analytical techniques for herbal fingerprinting with an emphasis on the most recent developments, such as miniaturized techniques, new stationary phases, analysis at high temperatures and multi-dimensional chromatography. Accessory to the new analytical techniques, the chemometric data handling techniques applied are discussed. Chemometrics provide scientists with useful tools in understanding the huge amounts of data generated by the analytical advances and prove to be valuable for quality control, classification and modelling of, and discrimination between herbal fingerprints. 相似文献

Some problems of validation of computerised instruments are reviewed briefly, taking essential standards and guides into
account. The significant role of certified standard reference materials is underlined. An attitude of suppliers towards the
validation of instruments is presented, and producers' responsibilities and obligations are discussed. The "black-box" concept
is recommended as a preliminary step for the validation of computerised instruments. Two examples for gel permeation chromatography
are given that illustrate a bad manufacturer's practice (BMP) and good manufacturer's practice (GMP). In the case of BMP,
a need is expressed for a guide and for regulations that should be implemented into the quality assurance system. It has been
proposed that the EURACHEM/VAM draft of guidance for qualification/validation of instruments should be amended by incorporating
the "black-box" approach as a preliminary procedure for validation of computerised instruments, a retrospective validation
procedure if the need for current validation was not foreseen or not specified, and a procedure (or selection rules) for qualification
of the supplier. Moreover, the mechanisms of inspection to control the observance of the standardised rules and commonly recognised
recommendations should also be considered by international quality organisations.

DACH, the German accreditation body of chemistry, which was founded in 1992, has introduced a new model for the flexibilization
of the scope of accreditation. This ensures that the accreditation of a laboratory also guarantees flexibility. Flexibilization
of the scope of accreditation is of great importance, in particular if a great number of similar routine tests (standard methods)
or non-routine tests are to be accredited. The main tool of flexibilization is the accreditation of types of tests. The accreditation
of types of tests entitles laboratories to include additional test methods within the type of test accredited without informing
the accreditation body immediately. Such information is provided at fixed surveillance intervals. The conditions for the accreditation
of types of tests are described below. 相似文献

Limits of detection, identification and determination: a statistical approach for practitioners 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
For the estimation of the limits of detection, identification and determination, considerations from analytical practice
were applied to the statistics of the calibration line and its prediction interval. The detection limit was the concentration
calculated from the maximum height of the prediction interval at zero spiking concentration. The identification limit was
twice the detection limit and was the lowest concentration that could safely be detected. The determination limit was the
lowest concentration fulfilling three criteria: 1. None of the signals resulting from determination limit concentration should
interfere with any signal from detection limit concentration, thus providing an unambiguous separation between the two limits.
2. Recovery should be between 70% and 120%. 3. Lowest and highest predictable signal at determination limit concentration
should not deviate more than ± 30% from the average. Practical analytical guidance and the necessary mathematical formulae
are presented.

This paper reports a new AM1/d model for phosphorus that can be used to model nucleophilic attack of phosphates relevant
for biological phosphate hydrolysis reactions. The parameters were derived from a quantum dataset calculated with hybrid density-functional
theory [B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)] of phosphates and phosphoranes in various charge states, and on transitions
states for nucleophilic attacks. A suite of non-linear optimization methods is outlined for semiempirical parameter development
based on integrated evolutionary (genetic), Monte Carlo simulated annealing and direction set minimization algorithms. The
performance of the new AM1/d model and the standard AM1 and MNDO/d models are compared with the density-functional results.
The results demonstrate that the strategy of developing semiempirical parameters specific for biological reactions offers
considerable promise for application to large-scale biological problems.

Aristolochic acids (AAs) are a mixture of structural-related compounds, in which aristolochic acid I (AA I) and aristolochic acid II (AA II) are reported to be correlated with Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). In this work, a rapid and sensitive ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to determine AA I and AA II in herbal products and biological fluids. By using gradient elution with a mobile phase composed of a mixture of 10 mM ammonium formate buffer (pH 3.0) and acetonitrile, AAs could be determined within 10 min. Under optimum UHPLC-MS/MS conditions, the limit of detections was 0.14 and 0.26 ng mL−1 for AA I and AA II, respectively. Run-to-run repeatability and intermediate precision of peak area for AA I and AA II were less than 5.74% relative standard deviation (RSD). Accuracy was tested by spiking 10, 100 and 1000 ng mL−1 in rat serum and the recoveries were within 76.5-92.9%. Matrix effects were within 78.8-127.7%. The developed method was successfully applied to determine AA I and AA II in several herbal products and to investigate their pharmacokinetic behavior in female Wister rats. The result shows that the developed UHPLC-MS/MS method is efficient, sensitive, and accurate for the determination of AA I and AA II in herbal products and biological samples. 相似文献

The primary objective of proficiency testing (PT) is in the provision of information and support to participating laboratories,
to enable them to monitor and improve the quality of their measurements. However, other benefits can be obtained from PT.
These include the comparison of data for a given measurement by different methods, the validation of new methods, and the
provision of information for laboratories' customers and accreditation bodies. This paper considers the subject of method
comparison, and highlights some of the approaches which can be followed, as well as the practical use to which this can be
put, to benefit the analytical community more widely. This is illustrated by a case study concerning the measurement of haze
in beer. In this study the United Kingdom Institute of Brewing (IoB) conducted a survey of participants in the Brewing Analytes
Proficiency Scheme (BAPS). From the survey data taken together with data from the BAPS scheme, the IoB is now in a position
to give guidance on the use of particular instruments and procedures, as well as consider changes to the scope of the BAPS
scheme to provide greater benefits for participants concerned with measuring haze.

A strategy is presented for applying existing data and planning necessary additional experiments for uncertainty estimation.
The strategy has two stages: identifying and structuring the input effects, followed by an explicit reconciliation stage to
assess the degree to which information available meets the requirement and thus identify factors requiring further study.
A graphical approach to identifying and structuring the input effects on a measurement result is presented. The methodology
promotes consistent identification of important effects, and permits effective application of prior data with minimal risk
of duplication or omission. The results of applying the methodology are discussed, with particular reference to the use of
planned recovery and precision studies.
