Methods • Sensitivity – ability to discriminate between small differences in analyte concentration Signal Amount
Methods • Detection Limit – minimum concentration or mass of analyte that can be detected at the known confidence level • Signal have to be 5 times bigger than background noise
Methods • Dynamic Range (DR) Signal DR Concentration
Analytical Process • Systematic Error • Random Error • Standards, Blanks
Results • Rounding Off (5 round to nearest even digit) • Significant digits (Error of measurement) • 0.1% - 0.001 x value • Accuracy of measurement steps – defines significant digits
Samples and Results • Sampling • Representative • Homogeneous (Particles Size) • Number of Samples – Error of measurement
Solid – Liquid Extraction • Matrix, solvent and analyte • Solubility of analyte • Interaction between solvent and analyte
Soxhlet Extractor1 – solvent flask2 – extractor3 – solvent collector4 - condenser
Extraction • Factors affecting extraction: • Interaction between solvent and analyte • Distribution coefficient: KD = (mi/V)Solvent /(mi/V)Matrix Where: mi – mass of analyte V – volume of solvent and matrix • Volume of solvent vs. multiple extraction
Extraction • Factors affecting extraction: • Interaction between solvent and analyte • Distribution coefficient: KD = (mi/V)Solvent /(mi/V)Matrix Where: mi – mass of analyte and V – volume of solvent • Volume of solvent vs. multiple extraction • Particles size
GC – Sample Extraction with Solvents Methylene Chloride Ethyl Ether Carbon Disulfide
SPME – Solid Phase Microextraction SPME - Fused silica fibres (1 to 2 cm long) coated with various polymeric phase Equilibrium forms between the three phases: • Fibre coating to sample phase • Headspace to sample phase • Fibre coating to headspace
SPME Fibres The commercial polymeric phases available are: • Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) • Polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene(PDMS/DVB) • Polyacrylate (PA) • Carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB) • Polydimethylsiloxane/carboxen (PDMS/CAR) • Polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene/carboxen1006 (PDMS/DVB/CAR) • Carbowax/Templated resin (CW/TPR)
