Section 6.4 deals with other EI-MS analyses of samples, i.e. analyses using direct introduction methods (reservoir or reference inlet system and direct insertion probe). Applications of hyphenated electron impact mass-spectrometric techniques for poly-mer/additive analysis are described elsewhere GC-MS (Section 7.3.1.2), LC-PB-MS (Section 7.3.3.2), SFC-MS (Section 13.2.2) and TLC-MS (Section 7.3.5.4). 

As this chapter aims at explaining the basics, operational principles, advantages and pitfalls of vibrational spectroscopic sensors, some topics have been simplified or omitted altogether, especially when involving abstract theoretical or complex mathematical models. The same applies to methods having no direct impact on sensor applications. For a deeper introduction into theory, instrumentation and related experimental methods, comprehensive surveys can be found in any good textbook on vibrational spectroscopy or instrumental analytical chemistry1"4. 

Very few, if any, recent biomedical publications describe the use of ion-impact mass spectrometry without the use of GC or some other separation method because most biological samples are chemically complex. The production of clean and useful El mass spectrometric signals requires the substance of interest to be very pure, and thus direct El experiments are usually confined to preliminary studies of highly purified biomolecules or to studies on the metabolism of pure materials. Two publications that describe direct El methods applicable to biochemical analysis and neuropharmaceutical studies are those of Costa et al. (1992) and Karminski-Zamola et al. (1995). 

Zeolites have an enormous impact on our daily lives, both directly and indirectly. For example, upstream hydrocarbons such as aromatics and olefins are produced using zeolite catalysts. The aromatics or olefins are then separated from the reaction mixtures using zeolite adsorbents. The purified components produced by these zeolite-based methods are then used in downstream processes to produce products that we use daily, such as clothes, furniture, foods, construchon materials and materials to build roads, automobile parts, fuels, gasoline, etc. In addihon to the indirect impacts mentioned above, zeolites also have a direct impact on our daily lives. For example, zeolites are used as builders in detergent formulations. 

Figure 13(b) shows the predicted force-deflection relationship, compared with the experimental impact data. For this simple product shape, the simple method is as good as FEA. However the errors are greater for 3-dimensional truncated pyramids, and the method cannot consider more complex shapes. FEA shows that the stresses are not constant across a layer of the rib however a number of errors, caused by the approximations, must cancel. The author s FEA (unpublished) shows that only the directly impacted portions of complex mouldings are under significant stress, so above approximate approach is justified. 

Since the S5(R2) document is relatively short (24 pages in PDF version available for download at http //www.ich.org) readers, especially those who are directly impacted by this guideline, are encouraged to take the time to thoroughly read the document. The present chapter outlines the essential points and highlights methods that are often utilized. Readers interested in the practical implementation of S5(R2) and adequate study designs are referred to a series of papers on each study type published in Birth Defects Research (Part B) volume 86, number 6, 2009, and other reviews (2). 

The process of method development and validation has a direct impact on the quality of the final method. Performing a thorough method validation can be a tedious process, but die quality of the data generated with the method is directly linked to the quality of this process. Time constraints often do not allow for sufficient metliod validation. However, many researchers have experienced the consequences of invalid methods and realized that the amount of time and resources required to solve problems discovered later exceeded what would have been expended initially if the validation studies had been performed properly (1).
