Sampling steps

The Metrohm method may have the advantage that the residual current (iF effect) remains constant during the sampling steps, but the drop still grows (ic effect) both are miniscule effects. The PARC method can be combined with the PARC SMDE technique (see p. 136), which excludes ic alterations due to drop growth during sampling.

By knowing the history of the sample it is possible to act correctly during all of the sampling steps, in order to avoid contamination of the material either from the utensils used to collect the sample, or from the reagents, the laboratory atmosphere and even the laboratory personnel. The contamination risk is greatest in analysis for trace components. Trace analysis requires the use of specially acclimatized, sometimes over-pressurized laboratories, of very pure reagents and sensitive instruments, and of specialized personnel, who possess a broad range of...

Transfer 0.25 ml from each sample (step 5) and control (step 3) to separate 16 x 125-mm glass test tubes containing 2 ml of 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer. 

Perform TBA reaction and measure absorbance (steps 7 to 11) using the three TMP-spiked samples (step 15) and the three TMP dilutions (step 16). 

Use the absorbance of the original (unspiked) food sample (step 11) to correct for the endogenous malonaldehyde content and then compare the spiked values to those in the TMP dilutions. The percent recovery is calculated as follows ... 

Add 100 to 200 mg MgO or MgC03 to the sample (step 1) to neutralize plant acids and prevent pheophytin a formation. 

The sample may be prepared in advance. The internal standard should be added to the sample (step 8) before the sample is prepared (step 9) to control for losses during sample preparation. 

Figure H3.3.1 A creep experiment where a small constant stress (0) is applied to a food sample (step 1) for a period of time. Afterwards the applied stress is removed (step 2). The degree of deformation (strain, y) is measured during the experiment, and a typical response is shown. ...

The analogous strategy for synthesizing metal-metal bond-containing polymers also uses difunctional, cyclopentadienyl-substituted metal dimers. A sample step-growth polymerization reaction is shown in equation 3, which... 

If secondary sampling is required to provide a more detailed assessment of the problem under investigation, the analytical results from this second sampling step may be finally evaluated and interpreted together with the results from primary sampling ... 

The autocorrelation function of lead shows the most conspicuous decay in the investigated area. Consequently it follows that the estimated value of the lower limit of the confidence interval for the critical distance between the measuring points for lead is the limiting sampling step.
