Single standard method

El 1. Assume you are to determine the blood serum level of cholesterol by the single standard method. The absorbance data obtained are standard = 0.350 (250 mg/100 mL) Asample = 0.390 and correctlon = 0.02. Calculate the concentration of cholesterol in mg/100 mL. What would be the % error if A. . were not used ... 

For the single standard method to be valid, there must be a linear relationship between absorbance and cholesterol concentration. The cholesterol assay is linear up to about 500 mg/100 mL.

One frequently overlooked issue when using multivariate analysis methods is the calibration method used to obtain the proportionality constants. Thus, the single standard method scans a standard and calculates constants from the following expression ... 

The normalized standard method uses the same procedure as the single standard method but several concentrations of each standard have to be scanned. This allows average proportionality constants to... 

Quantitative Analysis for a Single Analyte The concentration of a single analyte is determined by measuring the absorbance of the sample and applying Beer s law (equation 10.5) using any of the standardization methods described in Chapter 5. The most common methods are the normal calibration curve and the method of standard additions. Single-point standardizations also can be used, provided that the validity of Beer s law has been demonstrated. 

Analysis for Single Components The analysis of samples containing only a single electroactive analyte is straightforward. Any of the standardization methods discussed in Ghapter 5 can be used to establish the relationship between current and the concentration of analyte. 

The analysis of trihalomethanes in drinking water is described in Method f2.i. A single standard gives the following results when carried through the described procedure. 

Numerous examples of standard methods have been presented and discussed in the preceding six chapters. What we have yet to consider, however, is what constitutes a standard method. In this chapter we consider how a standard method is developed, including optimizing the experimental procedure, verifying that the method produces acceptable precision and accuracy in the hands of a single analyst, and validating the method for general use. 

Surface Area. The most important features influencing the performance of carbon blacks are aggregate size and surface area. Surface area is measured by gas- and Hquid-phase adsorption techniques, and depends on the amount of adsorbate required to form a surface monolayer. If the area occupied by a single-adsorbate molecule is known, a simple calculation will yield the surface area. A low temperature nitrogen absorption method, based on the original method of Bmnauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) (30), has been adopted by ASTM as standard method D3037-86 (2). 

Determinarion of MW and MWD by SEC using commercial narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene as calibration standards is an ASTM-D5296 standard method for polystyrene (11). However, no data on precision are included in the 1997 edition of the ASTM method. In the ASTM-D3536 method for gel-permeation chromatography from seven replicates, the M of a polystyrene is 263,000 30,000 (11.4%) for a single determination within the 95% confidence level (12). A relative standard deviation of 3.9% was reported for a cooperative determination of of polystyrene by SEC (7). In another cooperative study, a 11.3% relative standard deviation in M, of polystyrene by GPC was reported (13). 

As stated above, the most important missing piece in protein folding theory is an accurate all-atom potential. Recently there has been much effort in this direction, and much more is needed [48,55,72-77]. The existence of a potential satisfying minimal criteria such as folding and stability for a single protein was demonstrated in [73]. It is not a realistic potential by any means, but its existence validates the all-atom, implicit solvent, Monte Carlo approach as a serious candidate for theory. The method used to derive this potential was ad hoc, and has recently been compared with other standard methods in a rigorous and illuminating study [77]. 

The pH differential method was described as a fast and convenient assay for the quantitation of monomeric anthocyanins by Giusti (2001). It was approved by the Association of OfQcial Analytical Chemists (AOAC) in 2005 as a standard method to evaluate total monomeric anthocyanin pigment content in fruit juices, beverages, natural colorants, and wines. The degradation index is the ratio between total and monomeric anthocyanins (Table 6.3.1). The content of total anthocyanins can be obtained by the single pH method and the monomeric anthocyanin by the pH differential method. ...

This approach proved accurate and convenient for the analysis of the narrow resonances the results presented in this work have been obtained without employing this trick because the limited dimensions of this single-channel problem are easily handled by the standard method. 

Occasionally, an additional derivatization step would allow the application of a multi-residue approach. Provided that this derivatization can be done after the standard cleanup, applicants are invited to present those methods. In most cases, for monitoring purposes a supplementary derivatization will be much simpler than a completely separate single-residue method.
