The concentration of aqueous solutions of the acid can be deterrnined by titration with sodium hydroxide, and the concentration of formate ion by oxidation with permanganate and back titration. Volatile impurities can be estimated by gas—Hquid chromatography. Standard analytical methods are detailed in References 37 and 38. 

Many of these compounds ate highly colored and have found use as dyes and photographic chemicals. Several pharmaceuticals and pesticides are members of this class. An extremely sensitive analytical method for low hydrazine concentrations is based on the formation of a colored azine. They are also useful in heterocycle formation. Several reviews are available covering the chemistry of hydrazones (80,89) and azines (90). 

In general, however, reduction by ethanol is recommended only in cases where one has a reliable analytical method for distinguishing between products resulting from hydrogen- or ethoxy-substitution. For all other cases we recommend Kornblum s dediazoniation in an aqueous solution of hypophosphorous acid, in some cases in the presence of a catalyst, e.g., 0.05-0.10 mol% CuS04. The procedure is notable for its simplicity of operation. In Organic Syntheses the diazotization and hydro-de-diazoniation of 3,3 -dimethyl- and 3,3 -dimethoxybenzidine are described by Kornblum (1955) and the formation of 2,4,6-tribromobenzoic acid by Robison and Robison (1963).

A number of methods are available for following the oxidative behaviour of food samples. The consumption of oxygen and the ESR detection of radicals, either directly or indirectly by spin trapping, can be used to follow the initial steps during oxidation (Andersen and Skibsted, 2002). The formation of primary oxidation products, such as hydroperoxides and conjugated dienes, and secondary oxidation products (carbohydrides, carbonyl compounds and acids) in the case of lipid oxidation, can be quantified by several standard chemical and physical analytical methods (Armstrong, 1998 Horwitz, 2000). 

Reliable analytical methods are available for determination of many volatile nitrosamines at concentrations of 0.1 to 10 ppb in a variety of environmental and biological samples. Most methods employ distillation, extraction, an optional cleanup step, concentration, and final separation by gas chromatography (GC). Use of the highly specific Thermal Energy Analyzer (TEA) as a GC detector affords simplification of sample handling and cleanup without sacrifice of selectivity or sensitivity. Mass spectrometry (MS) is usually employed to confirm the identity of nitrosamines. Utilization of the mass spectrometer s capability to provide quantitative data affords additional confirmatory evidence and quantitative confirmation should be a required criterion of environmental sample analysis. Artifactual formation of nitrosamines continues to be a problem, especially at low levels (0.1 to 1 ppb), and precautions must be taken, such as addition of sulfamic acid or other nitrosation inhibitors. The efficacy of measures for prevention of artifactual nitrosamine formation should be evaluated in each type of sample examined. 

The format for analytical methods proposed as the regulatory method should be clear and should contain all necessary information needed successfully to perform the laboratory steps and calculate the results. The following is a recommended format for a determinative procedure ... 

A standard format for the presentation of analytical methods is not obligatory. However, each study should contain such information normally present in complete method descriptions. The list of key points presented in the SANCO Guidance Document d may serve as a guide ... 

A number of the previously cited investigators3->2>5 9 have employed UV spectroscopy as an analytical tool for following PC degradation. We have found the measurement of UV spectra of weathered PC films by difference from an unexposed reference sample to be an extremely simple and useful analytical method. This nondestructive analysis allows the repetitive return of a sample to the exposure conditions and thus enables one to essentially perform continuous analyses on the same sample. This technique, of course, will not detect the formation of non-chromophoric products such as aliphatic oxidation products which may form during the degradation.

The chemical world is often divided into measurers and makers of molecules. This division has deep historic roots, but it artificially impedes taking advantage of both aspects of the chemical sciences. Of key importance to all forms of chemistry are instruments and techniques that allow examination, in space and in time, of the composition and characterization of a chemical system under study. To achieve this end in a practical manner, these instruments will need to multiplex several analytical methods. They will need to meet one or more of the requirements for characterization of the products of combinatorial chemical synthesis, correlation of molecular structure with dynamic processes, high-resolution definition of three-dimensional structures and the dynamics of then-formation, and remote detection and telemetry. 

By today s standards of surface preparation, Will s procedures for surface preparation were crude, the surface structures were not characterized by use of surface analytical instrumentation (Which was neither widely available nor well developed at that time), and he employed extensive potentiodynamic cycling through the "oxide" formation potential region prior to reporting the quasi-steady state voltammetry curve, i.e., the potentiodynamic I-V curve. The studies employing surface analytical methods made a decade or more later were...
