Analytical reliability

Fischers table, published in 1803 as an accompaniment to his translation of Berthollet s Recherches sur les lois de laffinitey finally gave these data an appropriate conception. However, a comparison of the values in this table will show that they significantly deviate from those calculated from modern atomic weights, indicating the lack of analytic reliability. They also differ considerably from those of earlier workers. Analytical chemistry was still very much in its infancy.

Traceability concepts are just some of the many means to foster quality assurance as a drive for analytical reliability. They are heavily centred on the measurement part of the overall analytical process. Their application is hampered by the adoption of a number of strict rules so that truly traceable CRMs relying on primary methods are only available in exceptional circumstances. 

The combination of two different methods of separation and measurement, e.g. HPLC and immunoassay, or GC and mass spectrometry, will increase specificity but is rarely required in therapeutic drug monitoring. Such methods must, however, be used for assessing the analytical reliability of an immunoassay under varying conditions of clinical usage. 

Besides the requirement for adequate analytical reliability, crucial for routine use are robustness and the possibility of substantial automation. For these reasons, we used a HS 40 headspace sampler (Perkin-Elmer) directly coupled to an HP 5890 series II gas chromatograph (Hewlett-Packard) This combination avoids adsorptive and reactive surfaces in the sample path and allows the temperature to be controlled from cleavage to detection. This makes even trace analysis very reliable and reproducible. 

At the end of an extensive survey of hospital laboratories in the UK, Duncan (unpublished report of the CUnical Resource and Audit Group, Scottish Office, Edinburgh 1997) concluded that .., the current utilization of the test, with no control of dietary fat intake, no correction for incomplete fecal collections and misgivings over analytical reliability, makes it a highly unsatisfactory investigation and probably of little clinical value. ... 

The present saturation index module considers only minerals common in carbonate aquifers and assumes that water residence times are sufficient to assure mineral-water equilibria. The next step might consider geothermal systems of simple mineralogy. For this step the expert system might include various chemical geothermometers as indicators of analytical reliability. While high temperatures would promote the attainment of mineral-water equilibria, they would also add to the uncertainty in the thermochemical data used for modeling those equilibria. 

A preeminent question in CP/MAS work on fossil fuels, of course, concerns the analytical reliability of the results. That is, to what extent does the 13c magnetization generated and observed in a cross polarization experiment reflect the relative concentrations of different types of carbons in the sample This question has been addressed in various ways in different laboratories during the past four years. 

Analytical reliability A (between-day) coefficient of variation below 1.5% should be achieved in routine laboratory work with a bias of less than 2% from the target value to meet clinical requirements. All the methods are adequately sensitive and specific for physiological samples however, some ISEs are less robust and more susceptible to interference than FAES. 

Analytical reliability The coefficient of variation (between days) should be less than 2% and the deviation from the target value should be less than 4% in a routine clinical laboratory to meet clinical requirements. 

Analytical reliability In routine clinical laboratories, imprecision between days for total calcium concentration measurements should be below a coefficient of variation of 3.0%, and deviation from the target value should not exceed 5% to meet clinical requirements. 

Analytical reliability It has been proposed that deviations from the target value must be lower than the following pH +0.03 pCOx 3 mmHg (or 7.5%) (College of American Pathologists). 

Any quantitative experiment at a particular A (obtained from an HPLC technique and confirmed by a spectrophotometer) and absorbance ratio should be confirmed after a blank run of the mobile phase this is illustrated in Fig. 3. Non-ideal blanks always exhibit accenmated baseline drift. This requirement is sufficient to provide analytical reliability in terms of the basic criteria for the determination of LOD and LOQ in order to validate the procedure. In addition, increase in units of absorbance from 1 to 2000 milli-units depends on an isolated threshold. If the solubility of the solvents involved in the mobile phase is good, then care should be taken with maximum wavelength when minor changes are performed using both HPLC and spectrophoto-mettic assays.

There is no way to judge fairly the analytical reliability of a chemical sensor, since this depends strongly upon the expert ability of the analyst to choose a suitable sensor and a suitable sample preparation routine in order to circumvent predictable problems. 

Furthermore, analytical reliable studies have been developed in order to evaluate the quality of Polygala japonica Houtt, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine from different locations in China. An HPLC method using an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) has been developed allowing the simultaneous quantification of six triterpenoid s aponins in the drug [10]. The separation has been achieved on a Discovery C-18 analytical column. The authors concluded that the total content of the six saponins could be used as chemical markers to assess the quality of P. japonica. 

In a more recent extracorporeal application, a PVC lithium ISE housed in an oxygenator circuit allowed measurement of cardiac output via continuous tracking of post-injection Li+ dilution in the peripheral circulation [69]. The technique has been validated for clinical use and exeplifles the inherent analytical reliability of an ISE [70]. The sensor is disposable, sterihsable and used within a flow-through cell, the active sensor surface here electrolyti-cally connected to the requisite reference electrode using a saline bridge [71]. 

It Is shown that, for the two types of non-linear systems under Investigation, the response processes to high level random loading may show considerable non-6ausslan properties. For this reason It Is necessary to apply non-6ausslan closure methods Instead of equivalent linearization procedures (Gaussian closure). In particular If accurate analytical reliability estimates are of major concern.

The use of blood as an indicator of body lead does not constrain the age of the sample studied. It also has the advantage of being an analytically reliable measure in a competent laboratory, with an error of measurement of about 2 jUg/dl.
