DNA intercalating dye. Suitable for quantitative analysis. Differentially stains double-stranded and single-stranded nucleic acids. 

However, these absorption spectra can be employed as an aid to charaeterization, particularly when authentic reference substanees are ehromatographed on a neighboring track. The use of differential speetrometry yields additional information [64]. Quantitative analysis is usually performed by scanning at the wavelength of greatest absorbance (2m ). However, determinations at other wavelengths can sometimes be advantageous, e.g. when the result is a better baseline. An example is the determination of scopolamine at 2 = 220 nm instead of at =... 

The quantitative analysis procedure involves gravimetric detn of the HMX on a moisture-free basis after benzene extraction of, and differential detn of TNT. Moisture content is detd by conductometric titration of sample in an acetic-sulfuric acid suspension. Acetone insoluble matter is determined gravimetrically... 

Many analytical techniques are in use for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of monomers and oligomers extracted from PA6 (GC, differential refrac-tometry, IR, PC, SEC, HPLC, RPLC, etc.). FTIR has been used for quantitative analysis of caprolactam oligomer content (extract %) in polyamide-6 [113], The method, which involves a 3h extraction in boiling methanol, is suitable for process control and plant environment. Kolnaar [114] has used FTIR characterisation of fractional extracts with pentane, hexane, and heptane of HDPE for blow moulding applications. Vinyl acetate in packaging film has similarly been determined by quantitative FUR. 

The first question is what kind of information the chemical control can and should provide. Must it be a qualitative and/or quantitative analysis, is it based on a one- or two-dimensional measurement and should the latter consist of an analog and/or digital display The meaning of all this can be well illustrated by the example of the differential titration (see Fig. 5.1) of equivalent amounts of a strong acid (cf., Fig. 2.17, AA) and a weak acid (cf., Fig. 2.18, BA, pK, = 4).

Competitive immunoassays may also be used to determine small chemical substances [10, 11]. An electrochemical immunosensor based on a competitive immunoassay for the small molecule estradiol has recently been reported [11]. A schematic diagram of this immunoassay is depicted in Fig. 5.3. In this system, anti-mouse IgG was physisorbed onto the surface of an SPCE. This was used to bind monoclonal mouse anti-estradiol antibody. The antibody coated SPCE was then exposed to a standard solution of estradiol (E2), followed by a solution of AP-labeled estradiol (AP-E2). The E2 and AP-E2 competed for a limited number of antigen binding sites of the immobilized anti-estradiol antibody. Quantitative analysis was based on differential pulse voltammetry of 1-naphthol, which is produced from the enzymatic hydrolysis of the enzyme substrate 1-naphthyl phosphate by AP-E2. The analytical range of this sensor was between 25 and 500pg ml. 1 of E2. 

Total flavonoid content. Quantitative analysis of flavonoids depends on the objective of the study. Colorimetric estimation of total flavonoid content is measured by the aluminum chloride colorimetric assay (Jia and others 1999 Chang and others 2002). The total flavonoid content measured in this way is normally expressed in equivalent values of a standard flavonoid, often catechin or quercetin equivalents. Not all subgroups of flavonoids can be quantified by colorimetric methods however, total anthocyanin content is determined using the pH-differentiation method (Boyles and others 1993). 

Differential thermal analysis proved to be a powerful aid in a detailed study that fully explained the polymorphism and solvates associated with several sulfonamides [19]. For instance, three solvate species and four true polymorphs were identified in the specific instance of sulfabenzamide. Quantitative analysis... 

Difficulties are encountered in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of carbohydrate mixtures because of the structural and chemical similarity of many of these compounds, particularly with respect to the stereoisomers of a particular carbohydrate. As a consequence, many chemical methods of analysis are unable to differentiate between different carbohydrates. Analytical specificity may be improved by the preliminary separation of the components of the mixture using a chromatographic technique prior to quantitation and techniques such as gas-liquid and liquid chromatography are particularly useful. However, the availability of purified preparations of many enzymes primarily involved in carbohydrate metabolism has resulted in the development of many relatively simple methods of analysis which have the required specificity and high sensitivity and use less toxic reagents. 

Molecular spectroscopic techniques have been widely used in pharmaceutical analysis for both qualitative (identification of chemical species) and quantitative purposes (determination of concentration of species in pharmaceutical preparations). In many cases, they constitute effective alternatives to chromatographic techniques as they provide results of comparable quality in a more simple and expeditious manner. The differential sensitivity and selectivity of spectroscopic techniques have so far dictated their specihc uses. While UV-vis spectroscopy has typically been used for quantitative analysis by virtue of its high sensitivity, infrared (IR) spectrometry has been employed mainly for the identihcation of chemical compounds on account of its high selectivity. The development and consolidation of spectroscopic techniques have been strongly influenced by additional factors such as the ease of sample preparation and the reproducibility of measurements, which have often dictated their use in quality control analyses of both raw materials and finished products. 

Thermal analysis is a term used to cover a group of techniques in which a physical property of a substance and/or its reaction product(s) is measured as a function of temperature. This experiment is confined to the area of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and, more specifically, its quantitative development, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) [1-15]. 

A more quantitative analysis of the batch reactor is obtained by means of mathematical modeling. The mathematical model of the ideal batch reactor consists of mass and energy balances, which provide a set of ordinary differential equations that, in most cases, have to be solved numerically. Analytical integration is, however, still possible in isothermal systems and with reference to simple reaction schemes and rate expressions, so that some general assessments of the reactor behavior can be formulated when basic kinetic schemes are considered. This is the case of the discussion in the coming Sect. 2.3.1, whereas nonisothermal operations and energy balances are addressed in Sect. 2.3.2. 

Vibrational Spectroscopy [Infrared (mid-IR, NIR), Raman]. In contrast to X-ray powder diffraction, which probes the orderly arrangement of molecules in the crystal lattice, vibration spectroscopy probes differences in the influence of the solid state on the molecular spectroscopy. As a result, there is often a severe overlap of the majority of the spectra for different forms of the pharmaceutical. Sometimes complete resolution of the vibrational modes of a particular functional group suffices to differentiate the solid-state form and allows direct quantification. In other instances, particularly with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, the overlap of spectral features results in the need to rely on more sophisticated approaches for quantification. Of the spectroscopic methods which have been shown to be useful for quantitative analysis, vibrational (mid-IR absorption, Raman scattering, and NIR) spectroscopy is perhaps the most amenable to routine, on-line, off-line, and quality-control quantitation.
