System Suitability and Introduction To Instrumental Methods of Analysis Flashcards
Based on the concept that the equipment, electronics,
analytical operations, and samples to be analyzed
constitute an integral systems that can be evaluated
SYSTEM SUITABILITY
Established for a particular procedure depending on the
type of procedure being evaluated
SYSTEM SUITABILITY
Important in the case of chromatographic procedures
SYSTEM SUITABILITY
System suitability parameters are established from
evaluation of _____________ and _____________ to ensure that
validity of the analytical procedure is maintained whenever
used
robustness and ruggedness
- Intermediate Precision
Ruggedness
T/f: System suitability is only performed on equipments
True
T/F: there is no fixed testing method
True
In this setting, Variations are pH of the mobile phase, the mobile phase
composition, different lots or suppliers of columns, the
temperature, and the flow rate
Liquid Chromatography
Variations are different lots/ suppliers of columns, the
temperature, and the flow rate
Gas Chromatography
This establishes universal guidelines
ICH - International Council for Harmonization
Analytical methods are usually classified as being either
classical or instrumental.
also known as wet-chemical
methods
classical methods
In classical methods the measurement depends on the
chemical
properties of the sample
is made to react completely with the analyte and
the relationship between the measured signal and the analyte concentration is determined by chemical
stoichiometry
reagent
(Classical methid) Separation of components of interest in a sample is by
precipitation, extraction or distillation
Qualitative analyses (classical methods) of the separated components are
performed based on
Colors, boiling or melting points, solubility in different
solvents, odors, optical activities or refractive indices
of products formed upon treatment with reagents
Quantitative analysis (classical method) is done using
gravimetric or
volumetric measurements.
Based on the measurement of physical or chemical
properties of the analyte.
INSTRUMENTAL METHODS
In instrumental methods, separation of components of complex mixtures are
performed using
chromatography and electrophoretic
in instrumental methods, Quantitative analysis is based on measurements of
physical properties
conductivity, electrode potential,
light absorption or emission, mass-to-charge ratio and
fluorescence
Instrumental method quantitative analysis
More suitable for analysis of
major constituents
Classical
Used to certify analytical
standards
Classical
Generally cheaper
Classical
More accurate and precise
Classical
More robust and less
susceptible to
environmental fluctuations
Classical
