The calibration procedures adopted on-site must be agreed on with the customer and conform to recognized industry instrument calibration standards and the supplier s instructions. These procedures must be applied to all in-line instrumentation, loop instrumentation, local controllers, analyzers, and so on. Where the control and monitoring instrumentation is integrated with a computerized control system and where factory tests have been carried out, the installation calibration procedure should be agreed on with the customer. 

The Microtox equipment includes a self-calibrating analyzer which incorporates a photomultiplier tube, a data collection and reduction system, and software. The temperature-controlled analyzer maintains the test organisms and samples at a standard temperature of 15°C. It also detects the light intensity at 490 nm, the wavelength emitted by the bacteria. 

The small number of controls possible to assay conveniently in each batch will at best, when studied in isolation, only supply information that no serious change has occurred. More insidious changes will become evident only by studying results obtained from controls analyzed in successive batches. These insidious changes are best revealed by the maintenance of quality control charts giving a visual display of any changes that have taken place. 

Mass Spectrometer. The mass spectrometer used for this study was a Process Control Analyzer, Model 270, manufactured by the Aero Vac Corp. This residual gas analyzer is completely housed in a mobile cabinet and requires only electrical power for its operation. 

Analytical sensitivity may be significantly improved for samples from preclinical toxicology studies where samples are analyzed in batches with concurrent controls, in comparison with samples submitted for individual animals. This batch analysis reduces interassay variation due to differences in reagents, calibrators, controls, analyzers, and analysts.

Pipette 1.0 ml, 2.5 ml, 5.0 ml, 7.5 ml and 10.0 ml of the phthalate solution into five separate 100 ml measuring flasks and top them up to the 100 ml mark with water. Fill a sixth flask with plain water as a control. Analyze all the solutions, including the control, at least three times following the apparatus manufacturer s instructions. 

Probes usually have variable temperature control to run experiments at temperatures selected by the analyst. Cryogenically cooled probes can improve the resolution of a system, so that a 600 MHz spectrometer equipped with such a probe can provide resolution equivalent to a 700-800 MHz instrument. In some systems, samples can be heated up to 80°C. New probe designs with flowthrough sample holders are commercially available for use in coupled HPLC-NMR instruments, HPLC-NMR-MS instruments, and online process control analyzers. These hyphenated instruments and process instruments are discussed under applications later in the chapter. 

The controller analyzes the sensor s input and makes a comparison against the desired final condition—the set-point. The controller then outputs a signal to the controlled device assembly to maintain the set-point value. In networked systems, it is also responsible for reporting information to a higher level controller on the network, which then aggregates the information and interfaces to a higher-level information system. In turn, this information can be accessed on a personal computer interface or a dedicated display device.
