Preparation of standards

Carfentrazone-ethyl, C-Cl-PAc, C-PAc, DM-C-Cl-PAc and HM-C-Cl-PAc stock solutions of 1000 xg mL were prepared by dissolving the appropriate amounts of the analytical standards in acetonitrile. Working solutions were prepared in volumetric flasks by appropriate dilutions of the stock solutions for each analyte or combination of analytes. Working solutions containing the parent were prepared only in acetonitrile and working solutions containing acid metabolites were prepared in acetonitrile (underivatized) or hexane (derivatized). Underivatized solutions (containing the parent and/or metabolites in acetonitrile) were used for fortification. Solutions of derivatized esters were prepared simultaneously with the samples. Standard solutions 

The amounts of carfentrazone-ethyl, C-Cl-PAc, C-PAc, DM-C-Cl-PAc and HM-C-Cl-PAc were quantitated by the external standard calibration method. 

The amount of sample injected was determined using the following equation  

Amount of sample injected (mg) initial aliquot weight (mg) final sample extract volume ( xL) 

An equation representing area versus concentration was determined using a standard linear regression analysis applied to the injection standards, yielding a slope m and an intercept b. The following equation was then used to calculate the concentration of the sample injected from the area measured  

Another is a so-called serial dilution procedure. In this procedure, the second solution is prepared by diluting the first, the third by diluting the second, the fourth by diluting the third, etc. Once again, volumetric flasks and suitable solution transfer devices are required. 

How would you prepare 50.00 ml each of a series of standards that have analyte concentrations of 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 ppm from a stock standard that is 100.0 ppm  

We use the dilution equation (Equation (4.2)) for each solution to be prepared. The dilution equation is 

The solutions are prepared by pipetting the calculated volumes of the 100.0 ppm solutions into separate 50.00-mL volumetric flasks. Each is then diluted to the mark and made homogeneous by thorough mixing.

Full quantitation is accomplished in the same manner as for most analytical instrumentation. This involves the preparation of standard solutions and matching of the matrix as much as possible. Since matrix interferences are usually minimized in ICPMS (relative to other techniques), the process is usually easier. 

Hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid are widely employed in the preparation of standard solutions of acids. Both of these are commercially available as concentrated solutions concentrated hydrochloric acid is about 10.5- 12M, and concentrated sulphuric acid is about 18M. By suitable dilution, solutions of any desired approximate concentration may be readily prepared. Hydrochloric acid is generally preferred, since most chlorides are soluble in water. Sulphuric acid forms insoluble salts with calcium and barium hydroxides for titration of hot liquids or for determinations which require boiling for some time with excess of acid, standard sulphuric acid is, however, preferable. Nitric acid is rarely employed, because it almost invariably contains a little nitrous acid, which has a destructive action upon many indicators. 

For the preparation of standard iodine solutions, resublimed iodine and iodate-free potassium iodide should be employed. The solution may be standardised against pure arsenic(III) oxide or with a sodium thiosulphate solution which has been recently standardised against potassium iodate. 

For most purposes it is not necessary to follow the procedures given above for the preparation of standard buffer solutions the buffer tablets which are available from laboratory suppliers, when dissolved in the specified volume of distilled (de-ionised) water, produce buffer solutions suitable for the calibration of pH meters. 

For the preparation of standard cobalt solutions, use analytical grade cobalt(II) chloride or spectroscopically pure cobalt dissolved in hydrochloric acid subject solutions containing 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 jug of Co to the whole procedure. 

Preparation of standard titanium solution. Weigh out 3.68 g potassium titanyl oxalate K2Ti0(C204)2,2H20 into a Kjeldahl flask add 8g ammonium sulphate and 100 mL concentrated sulphuric acid. Gradually heat the mixture to boiling and boil for 10 minutes. Cool, pour the solution into 750 mL of water, and dilute to 1 L in a graduated flask 1 mL = 0.50 mg of Ti.

Certain disadvantages of this method of analysis should be enumerated. The preparation of standards becomes a major task if a large variation in concentrations of multicomponent samples is expected. The cost of preparing standards for expensive elements is a major consideration however, recovery and purification are possible. 

Option (Valid) presents a graph of relative standard deviation (c.o.v.) versus concentration, with the relative residuals superimposed. This gives a clear overview of the performance to be expected from a linear calibration Signal = A + B Concentration, both in terms of (relative) precision and of accuracy, because only a well-behaved analytical method will show most of the residuals to be inside a narrow trumpet -like curve this trumpet is wide at low concentrations and should narrow down to c.o.v. = 5% and rel. CL = 10%, or thereabouts, at medium to high concentrations. Residuals that are not randomly distributed about the horizontal axis point either to the presence of outliers, nonlinearity, or errors in the preparation of standards.

The accuracy of any quantitative assay depends on the use of standards that have been thoroughly characterized by accepted and independent methods. Without careful preparation of standards, the reported values for samples will be systematically higher or lower than the true value. Chiron has devoted considerable effort to the development of gold standard preparations of RNA from HIV-1 and HCV and DNA from HBV for use in the bDNA assays. These standards have been made available to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. 

To evaluate compound solubility, a /.iPLC system equipped with a cartridge containing 24 parallel columns (80 x 0.5 mm (inner diameter equivalent)) was employed. Sets of calibration standards were prepared for 24 compounds at different concentrations (in a 50 50 CH3CN H20 solvent). A maximum standard concentration of 500 jt/M was selected to maintain the amount of DMSO co-solvent in all samples and standards below 5% v/v to minimize possible solubility enhancements due to the presence of DMSO when working with stock solutions provided at 10 mM in DMSO. Standards were added to the appropriate wells of a 384-well plate. The plate was covered with a heat seal foil and transferred to the /./PI.C system for analysis. Figure 6.26 depicts the process for preparation of standards 95 /./I. of a buffer of desired pH were added to the appropriate wells. An additional 5, uL of each compound at a concentration of lOmM (in DMSO) was added to the corresponding wells. The plate was shaken for 90 min and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 3 min. 

Quantitative analysis procedures using infrared spectrometry utilize Beer s law. Thus only sampling cells with a constant pathlength can be used. Once the percent transmittance or absorbance measurements are made, the data reduction procedures are identical with those outlined in Chapter 7 (preparation of standard curve, etc.). 

Matrix matching refers to the preparation of standards in such a way that their matrices match that of the sample as closely as possible. It is important because there may be a component in the sample that affects the reading in some way, and unless that component is present in the standards at the same concentration level, it may affect the results in a negative way.
