Calibration in Analytical Science

Designed to help analytical chemists save time and money by selecting the best calibration method in a quality control, substance monitoring, or research setting

Univariate analytical calibration is a vital step in every chemical procedure that involves determining the identity or concentration of a particular substance. Depending on the type of instrument and measurement, analytical chemists need to follow different calibration strategies and protocols to ensure their instruments yield accurate readings.

Calibration in Analytical Science systematically classifies and describes a wide range of calibration methods and procedures based on mathematical and empirical models for use in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Focusing on the chemical aspects of analytical calibration, this much-needed reference uses a set of equipment-independent terms and definitions that are easily transferable to the calibration strategies of any analytical process. The theoretical basis for calibration of each analytical mode is described and applied to common analytical tasks of increasing levels of difficulty and complexity. Throughout the book, the author illustrates how to combine different calibration approaches to create new calibration strategies with extended capabilities.

  • Describes different calibration methods and procedures for determining the nature and quantity of sample components in different ways
  • Classifies various calibration methods in both qualitative and quantitative analysis
  • Demonstrates how the random and systematic errors of an analytical method can be minimized by the proper calibration strategy
  • Discusses current theoretical and methodological questions in calibration research
  • Highlights how calibration approaches can diagnose, evaluate, and eliminate analytical errors
  • Includes a concluding chapter on the contribution of calibration to the greening of analytical chemistry
  • Calibration in Analytical Science: Methods and Procedures is a must-have reference for analytical chemists working in academia and industry, chemists of various specialties involved in chemical analysis, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in advanced analytical chemistry.
