Another method for the determination of salicylic acid in aspirin powder by second derivative ultra-violet spectrometry was done by Kitamura et al. (28). A differentiator with electronic derivative circuit and incorporating three circuits with differencial time constants of 27, 82 and 22 was connected to a double beam spectrophotometer derivative spectra were recorded with a slit width of 1 mm and scanning speed f 120 nm min 1. The second derivative spectrum of salicylic acid showed a trough at 292 nm and a satellite peak at 316 nm, in the presence of large amounts of aspirin, the trough disappeared, but the peak was unaffected. The relationship between the height of this peak and the concentration of salicylic acid was rectilinear for 1 to 10 //g ml 1.

In modern times, most analyses are performed on an analytical instrument for, e.g., gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-violet/visible (UV) or infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), mass spectrometry. Each of these instruments has a limitation on the amount of an analyte that they can detect. This limitation can be expressed as the IDL, which may be defined as the smallest amount of an analyte that can be reliably detected or differentiated from the background on an instrument. 

The conventional approach to solvent extraction is the batch method. Early work with this method was hampered by the low concentration of the compounds present and the relative insensitivity of the methods of characterization. Thus lipids and hydrocarbons have been separated from seawater by extraction with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The fractionation techniques include column and thin-layer chromatography with final characterisation by thin-layer chromatography, infrared, and ultra-violet spectroscopy and gas chromatography. Of these techniques, only gas chromatography is really useful at levels of organic matter present in seawater. With techniques available today such as glass capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, much more information could be extracted from such samples [20].

The oil shale of the Julia Creek deposit has been shown to contain a very complex mixture of vanadium porphyrin compounds. Several groups of compounds were isolated by column chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography and examined by ultra-violet-visible spectroscopy, insertion probe, fast atom bombardment and field desorption mass spectrometry. These groups of compounds were found to consist of several homologous series, and included some compounds tentatively identified as phylloerythrin and chlorin derivatives.

A reference standard batch of the drug substance is used to conduct structure elucidation and confirmation studies. The elucidation and confirmation of structure should include physical and chemical information derived from applicable analyses, such as (1) elemental analysis (2) functional group analysis using spectroscopic methods (i.e., mass spectrometry, nuclear mag netic resonance) (3) molecular weight determinations (4) degradation stud-ies (5) complex formation determinations (6) chromatographic study methods using HPLC, GC, TLC, GLC (7) infrared spectroscopy (8) ultra-violet spectroscopy (9) stereochemistry and (10) others, such as optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) or x-ray diffraction. 

Complete MCP s can be stacked to provide even higher gains. For response in the vacuum ultra-violet spectral region (50-200 nm) a SSANACON, self-scanned anode array with microchannel plate electron multiplier, has been used (36). This involves photoelectron multiplication through two MOP S, collection of the electrons directly on aluminum anodes and readout with standard diode array circuitry. In cases where analyte concentrations are well above conventional detection limits, multi-element analysis with multi-channel detectors by atomic emission has been demonstrated to be quite feasible (37). Spectral source profiling has also been done with photodiode arrays (27.29.31). In molecular spectrometry, imaging type detectors have been used in spectrophotometry, spectrofluometry and chemiluminescence (23.24.26.33). These detectors are often employed to monitor the output from an HPLC or GC (13.38.39.40). 

The photochemical destruction of ortho, meta and para-nitrophenols induced by ultra-violet light illumination of aqueous slurries of titanium dioxide has been monitored by electronic absorption spectroscopy the products are said to have been identified as dihydroxynitrobenzene isomers by coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry although no details are supplied. Nitrophenols have also been identified in the fog shrouding the University of Bayreuth. They are presumed to be the products of photochemical nitration and the possible precursors (phenol, cresol and nitrate) were also detected. 

Most optical detection methods for biosensors are based on ultra-violet (UV) absorption spectrometry, emission spectroscopic measurement of fluorescence and luminescence, and Raman spectroscopy. However, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has quickly been widely adopted as a nonlabeling technique that provides attractive advantages. Fueled by numerous new nanomateiials, their unique, SPR-based or related detection techniques are increasingly being investigated [28-31]. 

Procyanidins can usually not be completely separated from each other, from phenolic acids and from accompanying flavonoids by sample clean up and/or chromatographic procedures. The differentiation between these individual compounds can therefore only by accomplished by the selectivity of a suitable detection method. UV-DAD (ultra violet diode array detection), electrochemical and mass spectrometry detection have been used for the identification and quantitative determination of procyanidins. 

Spectrophotometric (colorimetric, photometric or absorptiometric) methods of analysis are based on the absorption of visible and near ultra-violet radiation. In atomic absorption spectrometry a solution of the sample is sprayed into a flame where it is vapourized and atomized. An external light beam is passed through the flame and spectral lines are obtained corresponding to electronic transitions of the vapourized species. The line intensity is proportional to the amount of P present.

High-performance liquid chromatography especially the reversed-phase mode is widely used for separation of lipophilic, non-volatile compounds in complex matrices. However, the sensitivity and the selectivity of the detection methods may be improved, when compared with some detection methods in gas chromatographic procedures. It is obviously easier to detect compounds in a nearly empty stream such as a gas stream, than to determine compounds in a bulky stream of a solution. Electrochemical processes seem to be very promising for the analysis of compounds in a stream of solute, as these methods need an excess of ions in the solution to facilitate the electrochemical reactions. With respect to other detection methods, such as ultra-violet and fluorimetric spectrometry, a completely different type of selectivity can be achieved by electrochemical reactions. 

Because of the use of TATP by terrorists, a rehable and fast detection of this material is desirable. In addition to conventional analytical methods such as mass spectrometry and UV (ultra violet) spectroscopy specially trained explosive detection dogs (FDD) play an important role in the detection of organic peroxides. Although the high vapor pressure helps the dogs to detect the material, it is also a disadvantage because of the limited time-span in which the dog is able to find it (traces may sublime and disappear forever). Matrices in which the compounds can... 

There are so many techniques in spectroscopy, that I could spend the whole afternoon telling you about them. I have chosen 5 common ones. Mass spectrometry, Raman Spectroscopy, Ultra Violet/ Visible Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. The date beside them gives you an idea of when these techniques came into acceptance. Generally the data that you might find prior to the 40s and 50s will be of questionable quality. Because of many advancements in techniques in the 60s and 70s the best data can be found in the last 30 years. 

Among the chromatographic techniques, LC with octadecyl silica (Cig) columns and ultra-violet/visible (UVA IS) spectrometry detection or by using a diode-array detector (DAD) has been widely employed. It is worth mentioning the paper published by Zhou et al. (2004), in which the inhibition effect on luminol-dimethylsulfoxide chemiluminiscence was exploited as a detection system.
