INTRODUCTION

OUTLINE:

CLASSIFICATION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

INSTRUMENTS FOR ANALYSIS

SELECTING AN ANALYTICAL METHOD

CALIBRATION OF AN INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

Problem set:

1-4, 1-9, 1-10, 1-11

CLASSIFICATION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS

Classical vs Instrumental

Qualitative instrumental analysis is that measured property that indicates presence of analyte in matrix

Quantitative instrumental analysis is that magnitude of measured property that is proportional to concentration of analyte in matrix

Species of interestAll constituents including analyte.

Often need pretreatment - chemical extraction, distillation,separation, precipitation

INTRODUCTION

CLASSICAL:Qualitative - identification by color, indicators, boiling points,odors

Quantitative - mass or volume (e.g. gravimetric, volumetric)

INSTRUMENTAL:Qualitative - chromatography, electrophoresis and identification by measuring

physical property (e.g. spectroscopy, electrode potential)

Quantitative - measuring property and determining relationship to concentration (e.g. spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry). Often, same instrumental method used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

PROPERTY EXAMPLE METHOD

Radiation Emission Emission spectroscopy - fluorescence,phosphorescence, luminescence

Radiation Absorption Absorption spectroscopy -spectrophotometry, photometry, nuclearmagnetic resonance, electron spinresonance

Radiation Scaterring Turbidity, Raman

Radiation Refraction Refractometry, interferometry

Radiation Diffraction X-ray, electron

Radiation Rotation Polarimetry, circular dichroism

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

PROPERTY EXAMPLE METHOD

Electrical Potential Potentiometry

Electrical Charge Coulometry

Electric Current Voltammetry - amperometry, polarography

Electrical Resistance Conductometry

Mass Gravimetry

Mass-to-charge Ratio Mass spectrometry

Rate of Reaction Stopped flow, flow injection analysis

Thermal Characteristics Thermal gravimetry, calorimetry

Radioactivity Activation, isotope dilution

Often combined with chromatographic or electrophoretic methods

INSTRUMENTS FOR ANALYSIS

Example: spectrophotometryInstrument: spectrophotometerStimulus: monochromatic light energyAnalytical response: light absorptionTransducer: photocellData: electrical currentData processor: current meterReadout: meter scale

Block diagram for the overall process of instrumental measurement.

INSTRUMENTS FOR ANALYSIS

DATA DOMAINS: way of encoding analytical response in electrical or non-electrical signals.

Interdomain conversions transform information from one domain to another.

Detector : device that indicates change in environmentTransducer : device that converts non-electrical to electrical dataSensor : device that converts chemical to electrical data

INSTRUMENTS FOR ANALYSIS: DOMAINS

NON-ELECTRICAL DOMAINS ELECTRICAL DOMAINS

Physical (light intensity, color) Current (Analog)

Chemical (pH) Voltage (Analog)

Scale Position (length) Charge (Analog)

Number (objects) Frequecy (Time)

Pulse width (Time)

Phase (Time)

Count (Digital)

Serial (Digital)

Parallel (Digital)

Time: vary with time (frequency, phase, pulse width)Analog: continuously variable magnitude (current, voltage, charge)Digital: discrete values (count, serial, parallel, number*)

Advantages: (1) easy to store (2) not susceptible to

noise

DIGITAL BINARY DATA

What accuracy is required?

How much sample is available?

What is the concentration range of the analyte?

What components of the sample will cause interference?

What are the physical and chemical properties of the sample matrix?

How many samples are to be analyzed?

DEFINING THE PROBLEM

Performance Characteristics: Figures of Merit

How to choose an analytical method? How good is measurement?How reproducible? - Precision

How close to true value? - Accuracy/BiasHow small a difference can be measured? - Sensitivity

What range of amounts? - Dynamic RangeHow much interference? - Selectivity

SELECTING AN ANALYTICAL METHOD

INDETERMINATE OR RANDOM ERRORS

FIGURES OF MERIT: PRECISION

FIGURES OF MERIT: ACCURACY

DETERMINATE ERRORS (operator, method, instrumental)

FIGURES OF MERIT: SENSITIVITY

(larger slope of calibration curve m, more sensitive measurement)

Signal must be bigger than random noise of blank

FIGURES OF MERIT: DETECTION LIMIT

At detection limit we can say confidently analyte is present but cannot perform reliable quantitation

Level of quantitation (LOQ): k=10Limit of linearity (LOL): when signal is no longer proportional to concentration

FIGURES OF MERIT: DYNAMIC RANGE

No analytical method is completely free from interference by concomitants. Best method is more sensitive to analyte than interfering species (interferent).

k's vary between 0 (no selectivity) and large number (very selective).

FIGURES OF MERIT: SELECTIVITY

Basis of quantitative analysis is magnitude of measured property is proportional to concentration of analyte

CALIBRATION METHODS

CALIBRATION CURVES (WORKING or ANALYTICAL)

SAMPLE PROBLEM:

SAMPLE PROBLEM

SAMPLE PROBLEM

Calibration Curves:several standards containing exactly known

concentrations of the analytes are introduced into the instrument and the response is recorded.

CALIBRATION OF INSTRUMENTAL METHODS

STANDARD ADDITION METHOD

An internal standard is added in constant amount to samples, blanks, and calibration.

The analyte to internal standard signal as a function of the analyte concentration is determined.

The ratio for the samples is then used to obtain their analyte concentrations from a working curve.
