Quantitative chemometrics

Two Aroclor 1260 standards and A2) were included in these analyses. One standard was from the Columbia National Fisheries Research Laboratory, and the other from the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Laurel, MD.) A difference in the concentration of one constituent of about 30% was responsible for the small difference observed between the two Aroclor 1260 standards (Figure 5.) Use of a quantitative chemometric method to describe compositional residue differences measured in environmental samples may prove helpful in correlating residue profiles and concentrations with observed biological effects, such as decreased survival of young birds. 

The methods of quantitative chemometrics have been widely applied to the field of multivariate calibration, where some excellent reviews and books have been published recently We have found some applications to the study of the relationships... 

This section discusses common methods for building quantitative chemometric models in PAC. In this field, the user most often desires to build a model that converts values generated by an analytical instrument into values of properties or concentrations of interest for use in process control, quality control, industrial hygiene, safety, or other value-adding purposes. There are several chemometric techniques that can be used to build quantitative models, each of which has distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Precision of a chemometric method refers to the reproducibility of the method. For quantitative chemometric methods, it is important to test both the instrument and method precision. Instrument precision is done by repeating measurements on the same sample method precision is the closeness of replicate sample measurements while intermediate precision can be evaluated by running the same samples with different analysts on different days.

To illustrate the PLSR method, we shall examine data from a laboratory experiment performed by participants in a course in quantitative chemometrics. The course was held by the authors at 0stfold College of Engineering, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Norway, Autumn 1987. The purpose of the experiment was to determine ethanol in mixtures with two similar compounds (methanol and n-propanol) by fiberoptic NIR spectrophotometry. Mixtures of the three different alcohols were prepared, where the concentrations were varied between 0 and 100% of each of the three alcohols. Two different mixture sets were made. One of them will be used as a calibration set and the other as a test set, in other words, mixtures where the concentration of the analyte are unknown. ...

For many applications, quantitative band shape analysis is difficult to apply. Bands may be numerous or may overlap, the optical transmission properties of the film or host matrix may distort features, and features may be indistinct. If one can prepare samples of known properties and collect the FTIR spectra, then it is possible to produce a calibration matrix that can be used to assist in predicting these properties in unknown samples. Statistical, chemometric techniques, such as PLS (partial least-squares) and PCR (principle components of regression), may be applied to this matrix. Chemometric methods permit much larger segments of the spectra to be comprehended in developing an analysis model than is usually the case for simple band shape analyses.

We will explore the two major families of chemometric quantitative calibration techniques that are most commonly employed the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) techniques, and the Factor-Based Techniques. Within each family, we will review the various methods commonly employed, learn how to develop and test calibrations, and how to use the calibrations to estimate, or predict, the properties of unknown samples. We will consider the advantages and limitations of each method as well as some of the tricks and pitfalls associated with their use. While our emphasis will be on quantitative analysis, we will also touch on how these techniques are used for qualitative analysis, classification, and discriminative analysis. 

Because of peak overlappings in the first- and second-derivative spectra, conventional spectrophotometry cannot be applied satisfactorily for quantitative analysis, and the interpretation cannot be resolved by the zero-crossing technique. A chemometric approach improves precision and predictability, e.g., by the application of classical least sqnares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR), partial least squares (PLS), and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ITTFA), appropriate interpretations were found from the direct and first- and second-derivative absorption spectra. When five colorant combinations of sixteen mixtures of colorants from commercial food products were evaluated, the results were compared by the application of different chemometric approaches. The ITTFA analysis offered better precision than CLS, PCR, and PLS, and calibrations based on first-derivative data provided some advantages for all four methods. ... 

Quantitative Vibrational Spectroscopy on Pectins. Prediction of the Degree of Esterification by Chemometrics... 

The importance of the degree of esterification (%DE) to the gelation properties of pectins makes it desirable to obtain a fast and robust method to determine (predict) the %DE in pectin powders. Vibrational spectroscopy is a good candidate for the development of such fast methods as spectrometers and quantitative software algorithms (chemometric methods) becomes more reliable and sophisticated. Present poster is a preliminary report on the quantitative performance of different instrumentations, spectral regions, sampling techniques and software algorithms developed within the area of chemometrics.

The amount of information, which can be extracted from a spectrum, depends essentially on the attainable spectral or time resolution and on the detection sensitivity that can be achieved. Derivative spectra can be used to enhance differences among spectra, to resolve overlapping bands in qualitative analysis and, most importantly, to reduce the effects of interference from scattering, matrix, or other absorbing compounds in quantitative analysis. Chemometric techniques make powerful tools for processing the vast amounts of information produced by spectroscopic techniques, as a result of which the performance is significantly... 

Until fairly recently, IR spectroscopy was scarcely used in quantitative analysis owing to its many inherent shortcomings (e.g. extensive band overlap, failure to fulfil Beer s law over wide enough concentration ranges, irreproducible baselines, elevated instrumental noise, low sensitivity). The advent of FTIR spectroscopy, which overcomes some of these drawbacks, in addition to the development of powerful chemometric techniques for data processing, provides an effective means for tackling the analysis of complex mixtures without the need for any prior separation of their components. 

If we consider only a few of the general requirements for the ideal polymer/additive analysis techniques (e.g. no matrix interferences, quantitative), then it is obvious that the choice is much restricted. Elements of the ideal method might include LD and MS, with reference to CRMs. Laser desorption and REMPI-MS are moving closest to direct selective sampling tandem mass spectrometry is supreme in identification. Direct-probe MS may yield accurate masses and concentrations of the components contained in the polymeric material. Selective sample preparation, efficient separation, selective detection, mass spectrometry and chemometric deconvolution techniques are complementary rather than competitive techniques. For elemental analysis, LA-ICP-ToFMS scores high. 

The NIR spectra contain less structural information than the corresponding IR spectra, since only the overtone absorptions of X-Fl (X = C, N, O) are detected. Using chemometric approaches has, however, enlarged the applications of this method, particularly for quantitative and classification analyses. 

So, overall the chemometrics bridge between the lands of the overly simplistic and severely complex is well under construction one may find at least a single lane open by which to pass. So why another series Well, it is still our labor of love to deal with specific issues that plague ourselves and our colleagues involved in the practice of multivariate qualitative and quantitative spectroscopic calibration. Having collectively worked with hundreds of instrument users over 25 combined years of calibration problems, we are compelled, like bees loaded with pollen, to disseminate the problems, answers, and questions brought about by these experiences. Then what would a series named Chemometrics in Spectroscopy hope to cover which is of interest to the readers of Spectroscopy ...

To highlight and explain the quantitative chemical differences between the pitches found in the two archaeological sites, a chemometric evaluation of the GC/MS data (normalized peak areas) by means of principal component analysis (PCA) was performed. The PCA scatter plot of the first two principal components (Figure 8.6) highlights that the samples from Pisa and Fayum are almost completely separated into two clusters and that samples from Fayum form a relatively compact cluster, while the Pisa samples are...
