Determination of 36 elements in plant reference materials with different Si contents by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry: comparison of microwave digestions assisted by three types of digestion mixtures

Closed-vessel microwave digestion of nine standard reference plant materials (NIST, BCR, IAEA) and a laboratory standard of plant material with different Si contents assisted by HNO₃ + H₂O₂ (procedure A), HNO₃ + H₂O₂ + HF + H₃BO₃ (procedure B) and HNO₃ + H₂O₂ + HBF₄ (procedure C) were used to determine the recovery of 36 elements by ICP-MS: Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, In, La, Li, Mn, Mo, Nd, Ni, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Th, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn. Additions of HF + H₃BO₃ and HBF₄ in procedures B and C exceeded by 10% (B1, C1) and 100% (B2, C2) the equivalent concentrations of Si in the samples determined by ICP-OES. Most recoveries of certified elements (e.g., Al^*, Cu, Mo^*, Rb^*, Sb^*, Th) decreased significantly (^*p ≤ 0.05) with increasing Si content in plant reference materials digested by procedure A, while the recoveries from procedures B and C decreased insignificantly only for Mo and Sb. Digestions B and C gave significantly higher recoveries of Al, Sb, W and REEs, which were tighter to the reference values of these elements. A similar effect was found for Cu, Fe, Li, Ni, Sn, Th, Tl, V, Zn, Ba, Rb and Sr recoveries in samples with Si contents exceeding 2000 μg g⁻¹. If the Si content in plant samples is less than 10 mg g⁻¹, digestion of 0.5 g of plant samples through 0.05 mL of HF and 0.5 mL of 4% H₃BO₃ or 0.1 mL of HBF₄ is recommended to get satisfactory results for most of the elements. For materials with Si content exceeding 10 mg g⁻¹ the weight of the sample for digestion should be reduced to 0.25 g. However, the operation of potential interferences should be taken into account and eliminated through correction equations and adequate dilution of the samples.     

THE ANALYSIS OF COMPATIBLE SYSTEM OF AMTI AND SAR

Based on the analysis of Adaptive Moving Target Indication(AMTI) and the signal processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR), a complete compatible system of AMTI and SAR is put forward. The compatibility and effectiveness of this system is prcved in theory. The results of simulation show that this system not only has good ability in stationary targets imaging but also has ability in detecting moving targets under the background of strong clutter.     

A need for clearer terminology and guidance in the role of reference materials in method development and validation

 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.

Integration of metrological principles in a proficiency-testing scheme in the field of water analysis

Measurement traceability is universally recognised as one of the basic prerequisites for comparability of results obtained in different laboratories and is a basic aspect of metrological sciences such as analytical chemistry. This requirement is underscored by the increasing adoption of standards and measurement quality systems, such as laboratory accreditation against ISO/IEC 17025. Testing laboratories ensure traceability of their measurement results by using appropriate reference standards for calibration of instruments and control of measurement processes. For routine work in the field of water analysis, these standards are usually commercial solutions or in-house solutions prepared from pure products. Therefore, laboratories should demonstrate that their use of reference standards is appropriate and sufficient, which can be done by participation in an appropriate proficiency-testing scheme. The paper reports how measurement traceability of results from field laboratories (nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, chloride and sulphate; all in water) can be demonstrated by participation in a proficiency-testing scheme based on reference values.     

Matrix effect on the detection limit and accuracy in total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis of trace elements in environmental and biological samples

The effect of matrix contents on the detection limit of total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis was experimentally investigated using a set of multielement standard solutions (500 ng/mL of each element) in variable concentrations of NH₄NO₃. It was found that high matrix concentration, i.e. 0.1–10% NH₄NO₃, had a strong effect on the detection limits for all investigated elements, whereas no effect was observed at lower matrix concentration, i.e. 0–0.1% NH₄NO₃.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">A priori</Emphasis> evaluation of the adequacy of reference materials

The concept of adequacy of reference materials (RMs) to samples under analysis is discussed. It is emphasized that effectiveness of RM as a measurement standard can depend dramatically on assessment of the RM adequacy. A score is proposed for quantitative adequacy evaluation that formalizes the existing analytical knowledge. The score is based on the comparison of the compositions and physico-chemical parameters of RM with those of a sample, choosing the parameters influencing the analytical results. The score allows us to find the most adequate RM before analysis, using RM catalogues and prior information about the sample and analytical method.

Reference material needs in clinical laboratory science

In 1968, clinical chemistry was considered to be the field most in need of certified reference materials (CRMs). While significant progress has been made in this area, new diagnostic assays are continually being developed that create a need for new CRMs. Members of the clinical laboratory community help to identify reference material needs. Professional and governmental organizations, such as IFCC, AACC, NCCLS, CDC, and the national metrological institutes (NMIs), respond to develop protocols and materials. Several measurands are presented as examples. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, in response to a need for standardization of lipid and lipoprotein measurements, CDC developed a reference system that included secondary reference materials. Over the years, the process of preparation of these materials was refined, eventually leading to the development of NCCLS guideline for preparation of commutable frozen serum pools for use as secondary reference materials (C37-A). This protocol was used for the preparation of NIST SRM 1951a (lipids in frozen (liquid) human serum). In the 1980s, a need for a reference material for blood lead was identified. CDC and NIST cooperated to develop SRM 955 (lead in bovine blood). More recently, efforts have been initiated to standardize high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) assays. In this case, a CRM for CRP existed (CRM 470, developed by IFCC and available from IRMM), but at concentrations in the acute phase reactant range and not in the low range needed for hsCRP assays. CDC coordinated a study to evaluate diluted CRM470 and other candidate materials as secondary reference materials for hsCRP assays.Presented at BERM-9—Ninth International Symposium on Biological and Environmental Reference Materials, June 15–19, 2003, Berlin, Germany.
