Types of analysis according to extent
proximate
complete
ultimate
Technique used to measure weight of pure analyte or compound of known stoichiometry
Gravimetry
Technique used to measure the volume of standard reagent solution reacting with the analyte
Titrimetry
Technique used to measure wavelength and intensity of radation emitted or absorbed by the analyte
Atomic and molecular spectroscopy
Measures mass of analyte or fragments of it
mass spectrometry
measures various physico-chemical properties of separated analytes
Chromatography and electrophoresis
Measures electrical properties of the analytenin solution
electrochemical analysis
component of interest in the sample
analyte
collection of all the components in the sample
matrix
set of written instructions on how to apply a method to a particular sample
procedure
set of written guidelines for the analysis of a sample specified by an agency
protocol
process of collecting a small amount of a material whose composition represents the bulk of the material being sampled
sampling
portion of a solution subjected to analysis
aliquot
sample that contains all the components of the matrix except the analyte
blank
experimental measurement that is proportional to analyte concn
signal
Chemicals that do not have established standards for purity levels or for products with <90% purity
Technical grade
high purity chemicals for which no established specs exist. They are often solutions or dilutions of ACS Reagent materials
Reagent
Chemicals manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practices. Meets the requirements of the US Parmacopeia
USP
Chemicals suitable for laboratory and general use.
AR (Analytical Reagent)
