A mathematical model based on the limit dilution method to obtain linear calibration curves which eliminate the matrix effect in quantitative analysi…
1995
Abstract We propose a mathematical model from an analytical application viewpoint inspired in the limit dilution method. The theoretical development of the model and its results are given. The model shows that there is a linear relation between the inverse of fluorescence intensity and the inverse of the dilution factor; each analytic system (sample, diluent and analyte) is characterised by a general linear function which is easily obtained. The analytical applications arising from this linearity are of great importance in X-ray fluorescence analysis. The following immediate applications are proposed: direct procurement of the total correction factor Y/H, rapid calculation of the fluorescen…
Quantitative electron probe microanalysis of metallic oxide mixtures applying an empirical calibration technique
1997
Abstract An analytical procedure is proposed for the independent quantitative chemical analysis of each element in the presence of other elements in the matrix of a sample by Energy Dispersive Electron Probe Microanalysis. For this purpose, an empirical calibration technique (which we shall call here the JABO method), which studies the variation of the X-ray intensities in terms of the analyte concentration in a chemical system with a complex matrix, is established. The methodology consists of the modification of the unknown sample by addition of a diluent, an internal standard and the analyte itself (dilution-addition method). A mathematical model is proposed to calculate the K parameters …
Science based calibration for the extraction of 'analyte-specific' HPLC-DAD chromatograms in environmental analysis
2010
Multivariate science based calibration (SBC) has been applied to the resolution of overlapped peaks in liquid chromatography with diode array detection (LC-DAD). Complex river water samples spiked with 11 pharmaceutical substances resulted in poorly resolved chromatograms containing additional peaks from interfering matrix compounds and a change in the background absorbance due to the mobile phase gradient. Applying the present multivariate approach it was possible to resolve all 11 analytes from overlapping peaks, obtaining linear calibration lines (R2 > 0.96). Recovery percentages on spiked samples ranged between 74.6 and 113.5%, which are quite satisfactory taking into account the low co…
Comparison between micellar liquid chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis for the determination of hydrophobic basic drugs in pharmaceutic…
2007
[EN] The determination of highly hydrophobic basic compounds by means of conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatographic methods has several drawbacks. Owing to the characteristics of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), these techniques could be advantageous alternatives to reversed-phase chromatographic methods for the determination of these kinds of compounds. The objective of this study was to develop and compare MLC and CE methods for the determination of antipsychotic basic drugs (amitryptiline, haloperidol, perphenazine and thioridazine) in pharmaceutical preparations. The chromatographic determination of the analytes was performed on a Kromasil…
The H-point and generalized H-point standard additions methods for flow injection procedures.
1997
This paper establishes the fundamentals of the H-point standard additions method (HPSAM) and generalized H-point standard additions method (GHPSAM) in the flow injection technique. Two kinds of analytical signals can be employed, FIA peaks and spectra. Different analytical problems have been studied: determinations of one analyte in the presence or absence of matrix effect when different blank features are present, and determination of two analytes in the presence of blank bias error affecting the development of one of them. The determination of chloride with mercury thiocyanate which presents a matrix effect, and the determinations of calcium and/or magnesium with arsenazo III are examined…
Curve resolution procedure for isolating the spectra of unknown interferences from the sample spectrum in analyte determinations
1998
The method described is based on the selection of a wavelength in the sample spectrum that is called ‘reference wavelength’, all measured wavelengths are previously assayed in order to select this reference wavelength. Several wavelengths can be used as the reference. The interferent spectrum is calculated as a function of the interferent absorbance at this wavelength, making use of the ratio between the absorbance of the analyte at the selected wavelength and at every measured wavelength. The proposed methodology can estimate the unknown interferent spectrum from the sample and pure analyte spectra. As a quality guarantee of the estimated spectrum, its shape is also estimated in spiked sam…
Ferromagnetic gyroscopes for tests of fundamental physics
2020
A ferromagnetic gyroscope (FG) is a ferromagnet whose angular momentum is dominated by electron spin polarization and that will precess under the action of an external torque, such as that due to a magnetic field. Here we model and analyze FG dynamics and sensitivity, focusing on practical schemes for experimental realization. In the case of a freely floating FG, we model the transition from dynamics dominated by libration in relatively high externally applied magnetic fields, to those dominated by precession at relatively low applied fields. Measurement of the libration frequency enables in situ measurement of the magnetic field and a technique to reduce the field below the threshold for w…
Determination of low-molecular-mass aliphatic carboxylic acids and inorganic anions from kraft black liquors by ion chromatography.
2007
An ion chromatographic (IC) method with suppressed conductivity detection (CD) was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of several low-molecular-mass aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids as their carboxylate anions together with some inorganic anions (chloride, sulfate, and thiosulfate) from kraft black liquors. To confirm the identification of some carboxylate anions which lack commercial model substances, a qualitative IC method with suppressed electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was also developed. The separations were performed on an IonPac AS 11-HC anion-exchange column operated at 25 degrees C within 25 min by a gradient elution with aqueous pota…
Aceites esenciales: productos antimicrobianos y antioxidantes naturales en la industria agroalimentaria
2020
[ES] Los consumidores son conscientes del peligro derivado del uso de antioxidantes y antimicrobianos sintéticos en la industria agroalimentaria, demandando alternativas más seguras y ecológicas. En este estudio, se ha determinado la actividad antioxidante de aceites esenciales comerciales mediante el método DPPH y su efecto antimicrobiano frente a la bacteria Pseudomonas syringae y el hongo fitopatógeno Fusarium oxysporum a través del empleo del método estandarizado de disco. Los aceites esenciales de clavo, ajedrea, canela y orégano, así como carvacrol, mostraron la máxima actividad antioxidante, comparable a antioxidantes establecidos. El aceite esencial de gaulteria fue el más potente i…
Sixfold improved single particle measurement of the magnetic moment of the antiproton
2017
Our current understanding of the Universe comes, among others, from particle physics and cosmology. In particle physics an almost perfect symmetry between matter and antimatter exists. On cosmological scales, however, a striking matter/antimatter imbalance is observed. This contradiction inspires comparisons of the fundamental properties of particles and antiparticles with high precision. Here we report on a measurement of the g-factor of the antiproton with a fractional precision of 0.8 parts per million at 95% confidence level. Our value /2=2.7928465(23) outperforms the previous best measurement by a factor of 6. The result is consistent with our proton g-factor measurement gp/2=2.7928473…
