Direct solid sample analysis of geological samples with SS-GF-AAS and use of 3D calibration

These results from direct solid-sample trace-element analysis, with 3D calibration, follow those of earlier publications. Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn have been determined in complex inorganic powder samples, e.g. sediments, soils, rocks, and minerals. The measurements were performed with two SS-GF-AAS spectrometers which differ in the type of graphite furnace (transverse and longitudinal tube) and the background-correction technique (with and without the Zeeman system). The performance of the 3D calibration method was optimized by systematic investigation and the 2D- and 3D calibration techniques were compared. Another feature is the determination of confidence limits of the 3D calibration. This calibration error was calculated by the statistical bootstrap method. The results of calibration experiments and the precision and accuracy of the determination of trace elements in CRMs show that 3D calibration becomes increasingly essential as the refractory character of the analyte increases. Although there are large differences between the state of development and technical performance of the instruments used, 3D-calibration works with both SS-GF-AAS spectrometers.     

Determination of copper, lead, cadmium, zinc, and iron in calcium fluoride and other fluoride-containing samples by means of direct solid sampling GF-AAS

Direct solid sampling graphite furnace AAS (SS-GF-AAS) provides an advantageous alternative to the conventional AAS which requires wet digestion of the samples. This method is suitable for trace element determination in calcium fluoride and other fluoride-containing samples. Matrix effects were studied by using calibration standards, certified reference materials with different matrices and by means of three-dimensional calibration. 3D calibration is suitable for selection of calibration samples for more reliable analyses. Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, and Fe were determined by means of calibration with variation of sample weight using certified reference materials and suitable fluoride-containing calibration samples.

Direct solid sample analysis of sediments, soils, rocks and advanced ceramics by ETV-ICP-AES and GF-AAS

Methods for the direct solid sample trace element determination in complex composed inorganic powder samples, e.g. sediments, soils, rocks, minerals and similar technical materials, are systematically investigated by SS-ETV-ICP-AES and SS-GF-AAS. High-grade homogeneity of the sample powder even at milligram and sub-milligram levels is required due to small sample weights. All the investigations are carried out with CRMs and RMs. SS-ETV-ICP-AES, which has been improved by high temperature vapor halogenation, is used for the determination of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the trace element range < 10 to > 500 μg/g. No significant influence of matrix components is observed using this method. SS-GF-AAS is used for the determination of Cd, Pb, and Zn in the 0.006 to 150 μg/g range. Precision and accuracy of SS-GF-AAS are improved by application of 3D-calibration plots in comparison to conventional 2D-calibration. In this way, the two methods SS-ETV-ICP-AES and SS-GF-AAS complement one another concerning their analytical performance.

Improved calibration transfer between near-Infrared (NIR) spectrometers using canonical correlation analysis

The application of mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers in field measurements is growing. Calibration transfer techniques offer simple solutions for enabling models constructed on benchtop instruments for use on mobile spectrometers. Since different types of spectrometers with different components, scanning ranges and resolutions cause great differences in the spectral response, calibration transfer is difficult to apply. In this paper, we focus on calibration transfer among benchtop, portable and handheld spectrometers by a method of calibration transfer based on canonical correlation analysis (CTCCA). Its capability was illustrated by the example of a group of NIR spectra dataset for predicting reducing sugars, total sugar, and nicotine contents in tobacco leaves. The experimental results showed that the transferability of CTCCA was superior to other conventional calibration transfer methods, including piecewise direct standardization, spectral space transformation, calibration transfer based on independent component analysis, and calibration transfer based on the weight matrix. Moreover, the best transfer results were obtained in the three cases by canonical correlation analysis method executing transfer while the spectra were not interpolated, which shows that this approach has the advantage of easy implementation for calibration transfer. Therefore, CTCCA without interpolation calculation offers a new and simple solution for transferring the spectra acquired by mobile spectrometers to the optimized spectral models built on benchtop devices to improve the accuracy of the results. Additionally, the results show that the benchtop spectrometer is more suitable as the master instrument for calibration transfer with more accurate prediction than using a portable device as the master.

Abstract

A Partial Least Squares (PLS) calibration method was applied to the simultaneous determination of iprodione, procymidone and chlorothalonil in mixtures, by uv-vis absorption spectrophotometry and by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Signals and first-derivative (¹D) signals were used to optimize the calibration matrices by the PLS-1 method. Quantitative results are presented for synthetic mixtures and for extracts from soil and groundwater samples. Significant improvements were achieved by using the PLS-1 method built with first-derivative chromatograms, in the determination of iprodione, procymidone and chlorothalonil in environmental samples.

Insect Protein Content Analysis in Handcrafted Fitness Bars by NIR Spectroscopy. Gaussian Process Regression and Data Fusion for Performance Enhancement of Miniaturized Cost-Effective Consumer-Grade Sensors

Future food supply will become increasingly dependent on edible material extracted from insects. The growing popularity of artisanal food products enhanced by insect proteins creates particular needs for establishing effective methods for quality control. This study focuses on developing rapid and efficient on-site quantitative analysis of protein content in handcrafted insect bars by miniaturized near-infrared (NIR) spectrometers. Benchtop (Büchi NIRFlex N-500) and three miniaturized (MicroNIR 1700 ES, Tellspec Enterprise Sensor and SCiO Sensor) in hyphenation to partial least squares regression (PLSR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) calibration methods and data fusion concept were evaluated via test-set validation in performance of protein content analysis. These NIR spectrometers markedly differ by technical principles, operational characteristics and cost-effectiveness. In the non-destructive analysis of intact bars, the root mean square error of cross prediction (RMSEP) values were 0.611% (benchtop) and 0.545–0.659% (miniaturized) with PLSR, and 0.506% (benchtop) and 0.482–0.580% (miniaturized) with GPR calibration, while the analyzed total protein content was 19.3–23.0%. For milled samples, with PLSR the RMSEP values improved to 0.210% for benchtop spectrometer but remained in the inferior range of 0.525–0.571% for the miniaturized ones. GPR calibration improved the predictive performance of the miniaturized spectrometers, with RMSEP values of 0.230% (MicroNIR 1700 ES), 0.326% (Tellspec) and 0.338% (SCiO). Furthermore, Tellspec and SCiO sensors are consumer-oriented devices, and their combined use for enhanced performance remains a viable economical choice. With GPR calibration and test-set validation performed for fused (Tellspec + SCiO) data, the RMSEP values were improved to 0.517% (in the analysis of intact samples) and 0.295% (for milled samples).

Construction of global and robust near-infrared calibration models based on hybrid calibration sets using Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) models built on a particular instrument are often invalid on other instruments due to spectral inconsistencies between the instruments. In the present work, global and robust NIR calibration models were constructed by partial least square (PLS) regression based on hybrid calibration sets, which are composed of both primary and secondary spectra. Three datasets were used as case studies. The first consisted of 72 radix scutellaria samples measured on two NIR spectrometers with known baicalin content. The second was composed of 80 corn samples measured on two instruments with known moisture, oil, and protein concentrations. The third dataset included 279 primary samples of tobacco with known nicotine content and 78 secondary samples of tobacco with known nicotine concentrations. The effect of the number of secondary spectra in the hybrid calibration sets and the methods for selecting secondary spectra on the PLS model performance were investigated by comparing the results obtained from different calibration sets. This study shows that the global and robust calibration models accurately predicted both primary and secondary samples as long as the ratios of the number of primary spectra to the number of secondary spectra were less than 22. The models performance was not influenced by the selection method of the secondary spectra. The hybrid calibration sets included the primary spectral information and also the secondary spectra; information, rendering the constructed global and robust models applicable to both primary and secondary instruments.

Determination of Parabens and their Degradation Product p-Hydroxy-Benzoic Acid in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms by Hptlc Densitometry

Abstract

HPTLC densitometry has been developed for the determination of parabens and their degradation product p-hydroxybenzoic acid in pharmaceutical preparations. The method was used for simultaneous determination of parabens in combination:methylparaben - propylparaben, propylparaben - butylparaben and for the determination their stability in dosage forms (suspensions, ointment). The substances were separated on silica gel with fluorescence indicator in system n-pentane - glacial acetic acid (88:12, v/v). Absorbance measurements(detection of reflectance) of separated parabens was carried out “in situ” at 256 nm using single-level calibration (external standard). For the determination of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, a five-level calibration curve (external standard) was used in the concentration range of 20–100 ng/band. The results were evaluated by linear regression analysis. The relative standard deviation values (R.S.D.%) were in range 1.24–1.89 %.     

Laser ablation molecular isotopic spectrometry of water for 1D2/1H1 ratio analysis

Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry (LAMIS) has been investigated for optical isotopic analysis of the deuterium to protium ratio in enriched water samples in ambient air at atmospheric pressure. Multivariate PLSR (Partial Least Squares Regression) based calibrations were carried out and validated using multiple statistical parameters. Comparisons of results are reported using two spectrometers having two orders of magnitude difference in spectral resolution. The accuracy and precision of isotopic analysis depends on the spectral resolution and the inherent isotope shift of the elements. The requirements for spectral resolution of the measurement system can be significantly relaxed when the isotopic abundance ratio is determined using chemometric processing of the spectra. Large isotopic shifts in the individual rotational branches of OH/OD molecular emission spectra were measured. Optimized temporal conditions for LAMIS measurements were established. Several sub-regions of spectra were used for PLSR calibration and the results demonstrate that both the emission intensity and degree of spectral differentiation affect the quality of the PLSR calibration. LAMIS results also were compared with traditional LIBS results obtained using PLSR and a spectral deconvolution method, demonstrating the advantages of LAMIS over LIBS with respect to isotopic composition determination.

Assessment of calibration parameters for gamma-ray spectrometry systems

The Gamma-ray spectrometers are complex instruments and the quality of the data they provide depends strongly on their proper calibration. This paper describes the energy and efficacy calibration of two gamma-ray spectrometers in order to validate the method for measuring the activity of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides. The punctiform standard sources ⁶⁰Co, ¹³³Ba, ¹³⁷Cs and ²⁴¹Am were used in this study. Minimum Detectable Activity, Peak to Compton Ratio and the peak shape parameters were determinate. An inter-comparison of the results obtained with both systems was done. The results demonstrated that the activity values are comparable with low errors respecting with those for conventionally true activities.
