For elements near carbon, gratings in vacuum are required for resolution of analytical lines. Work of this kind, though important in special cases, is outside the present realm of routine analytical chemistry. (See Appendix V.)... 

Sometimes for some very potent pollutants analytical methodologies provide limits of detection (LODs) higher than the concentrations that cause effects, as derived from ecotoxicological studies. Therefore efforts in the field of analytical chemistry (see Sect. 2) are focused on making available the necessary analytical capabilities to detect pollutants at the required low levels found in the environment. This was the case of pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), sunscreens/UV filters, etc. few years ago. However, this list is likely to increase with new family candidates.

In clinical chemistry and medical diagnostics the true positive rate is called sensitivity rate and the true negative rate specificity rate (O Rangers and Condon [2000]) without any relation to the general definition of the terms sensitivity and specificity and their use in analytical chemistry (see Sects. 7.2 and 7.3). 

Distribution analysis in atomic dimensions becomes structure analysis. But because of its specific methodology, it makes sense to consider structure analysis as a separate field of analytical chemistry see Sect. 1.2. Therefore, the information-theoretical fundamentals of structure analysis are different from that of element analysis and have been represented by Danzer and Marx [ 1979a,b].

Typical enzymes used in biosensors. Several hundred enzymes have been used in the demonstration of biosensor devices. Reviews have appeared in a number of books (see, e.g. [4]) and many research papers are published in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics (published by Elsevier). A biannual comprehensive review is published in Analytical Chemistry (see, e.g. [5]). 

Analytical applications of electrochemistry, where the objectives are well defined, have fared better. There is a long list of papers going back twenty years on the applications of computers and then microprocessors. Reviews of this subject appear in the Fundamental Reviews sction of Analytical Chemistry (see refs. 8 and 9). In general, the aim in electroanalytical methods is to avoid interfering effects, such as the ohmic loss and the double layer capacity charging, and to use the Faradaic response peak current-potential curve as an analytical tool. Identification of the electroactive species is achieved by the position of the response peak on the potential axis and "pattern recognition , and quantitative analysis by peak shape and height. A recent development is squarewave voltammetry [10]. 

Unlike with discrete or batch configurations, the nomenclature used with continuous configurations Is not quite correct taking into account the clear distinction between the terms analyeie and determination , establlehed by Pardue [9] in his hierarchical view of Analytical Chemistry (see Chapter 1). Thue, terms such as continuous-flow analysis , segmented-flow analysis or flow-injection analysis are not meant to describe the overall analytical process insofar as they do not include the preliminary sampling and sample treat-... 

On the other hand, electrochemical sensors are widely used as instruments in analytical chemistry (see Thble 15-4). 

The atoms have definite relative weights and upon an exact determination of these weights depends the entire science of quantitative analytical chemistry. (See stoichiometry, p. 44.)...

Radionuclides are used in many subdivisions of analytical chemistry (see Table 1). Of major importance are radiotracers in methodological and pathway studies, isotope dilution analysis (IDA), radioimmunoassay, and nuclear activation analysis (AA) (- Activation Analysis) [66]. They are all especially suited to analyze the extremely small amounts of substances encountered in ultra-trace analysis or in trace analysis of microsamples. 

Spectroscopic information is very important for analytical chemistry (see Spectroscopic Databases). The SPECiNFO database is an information system consisting of spectral data for a representative collection of organic substances, including organometallic compounds, and a set of tools to support chemical analysis of unknown substances. In SPECiNFO there are approximately 135000 substances with 100000 NMR, 18500 IR, 50000 mass, and 6000 other spectra. Searches can be done by structure or by numerical input. Analysis tools are available for identity and similarity search of chemical structures, estimation of coupling constants, and similarity searches of spectra. A typical record from the SPECiNFO database is shown in Figure 8.
