Importance of instrumental Analysis
Presented By
Mr N P Badgujar
Obtaining information in diverse areas of science andtechnology
A modern well-educated scientist is one who is capableof solving problems with an analytical approach and whocan apply modern instrumentation to problems
1) Fundamental principles of instrumental measurements
2)Applications of these principles to specific types ofchemical measurements (types of samples analyzedfigures of merit strengths and limitations)
3) Examples of modern instrumentation
4) Use of instruments to solve real analytical problem
Importance of instrumental methods in conjunctions with conventional analytical methods
What is the the difference between an analytical technique and an analytical method
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analytical technique is considered to be a fundamental scientificphenomenon that has been found to be useful to provide informationabout the composition of a substance
An analytical method involves the use of an analytical techniqueoperated within specific and appropriate measurement parameters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Differentiate the terms procedure and protocol
PROCEDURE represents a set of written instructions for carrying outthe steps of an analytical method Organizations such as the AmericanSociety for Testing Materials (ASTM)
PROTOCOL contains a much more rigidly defined description of the steps of the analytical method Generally a protocol is used to meet the demands of a government regulatory agency or to provide information for legal purposes
Terms instrument and machine are important to clarify
INSTRUMENT A measuring device for determining the presentvalue of a quantity under observation
MACHINE should be reserved for use in describing a device usedto perform work or change the direction of motion of an object
Instruments may often contain components that are machines butultimately the instrument has the purpose of making a chemicalmeasurement and should be recognized accordingly
Methods of Chemical Analysis
The objective of a chemical analysis whether the measurement isperformed using classical (wet chemical) or instrumental methodsis to provide information in order to solve a problem or to make adecision
Instruments are important but solid scientific proceduresthroughout a method of analysis are necessary in order toproduce valid
A scientistrsquos role in a method of analysis is more thanunderstanding and making measurements
Designing a method of analysis appropriate to the problemrequires experience broad knowledge and the problem solvingskills
The analyst must deal with the nature and origin of the samplethe desired accuracy and precision limitations in costs and timefor the analysis and the selection of appropriate techniques
Significant interactions with collaborating investigators aretypically required not only for the analyst to acquire thenecessary information to solve the problem
To communicate the information that can realistically beprovided given the nature of the sample and measurementtechniques available
When the concepts of quality are applied to a chemicalmeasurement the term quality assurance is more commonlyused
Quality assurance in a chemical measurement involves theactions within the method of analysis that provide satisfactorymeasurements with appropriate confidence high dependabilityand in a cost-effective manner
Define the Problem
The intent of the measurement
The necessary considerations in sampling and sample preparation
The best technique for making the measurement
Evaluation of the data
Reporting the results
The resources needed to accomplish the analysis
The method chosen may provide either qualitative or quantitativeinformation
Qualitative method data may include the composition oxidationstates structural information or the isotopic distributions ofelements contained in a sample
An understanding of the instrumentation used to make thequalitative measurement also leads one to a rough approximation ofthe concentration of the species being measured
Whether the substance is a major (gt1) minor (001-1) trace (10-2 ndash 10-6) or ultra-trace (10-6- 10-9) component
Quantitative methods the analyst needs to plan tasks associatedwith sampling sample preparation and calibration moremeticulously than a qualitative analysis

aspect in the role of an analyst however it is insufficient in gaining accurateand precise results
Proper consideration of the sampling and sample handling are equallyimportant
Even with the best quality instrumental measurement a poorly selected orimproperly handled sample will give erroneous or inappropriate results
Sample Preparation
The samples must also be treated to make them compatible withthe instrumental technique
Transformation of the sample into a form that can be measuredusing the selected technique is termed sample preparation
Sample selection and preparation usually represent the largestinvestment of time in the implementation of an analytical method
It is important to realize that the majority of instrumentaltechniques require the sample to be in a liquid phase
For solid samples several techniques are taken to transfer theanalyte into the liquid phase
Care must be taken in these steps to preserve the integrity of theanalyte by considering the possibility of contamination loss orchemical and physical changes to the analyte
Perform Measurements
Once the sample has been prepared it is necessary to measurereplicate samples to establish the precision of the method
The measurement depends upon the interaction of the techniquewith a unique chemical or physical property of the analyte
Consider the example involving the use of IR spectrophotometryto measure the residual styrene and acrylonitrile monomersremaining in a copolymer sample
The measurement relies on the fact that the aromatic carbon-carbon bonds in the styrene monomer absorb infrared radiation atapproximately 1600 cm-1 while the cyano group of theacrylonitrile monomer absorbs at 2275 cm-1
An accurate analysis will assure minimal or no absorbance of thestyrene monomer at the frequency of the acrylonitrile monomer
Compare Results with Standards
Reliable and convincing analytical results must involve a propercareful comparison of the analytersquos signal to that of appropriatestandards of known analyte concentration as well as a calibrationblank solution This is known as calibration or standardization
Calibration establishes the mathematical relationship between theanalytical signal and the concentration of analyte in the calibrationstandards The most common approach is to develop a ldquoworkingrdquocurve

aspect in the role of an analyst however it is insufficient in gaining accurateand precise results
Proper consideration of the sampling and sample handling are equallyimportant
Even with the best quality instrumental measurement a poorly selected orimproperly handled sample will give erroneous or inappropriate results
Sample Preparation
The samples must also be treated to make them compatible withthe instrumental technique
Transformation of the sample into a form that can be measuredusing the selected technique is termed sample preparation
Sample selection and preparation usually represent the largestinvestment of time in the implementation of an analytical method
It is important to realize that the majority of instrumentaltechniques require the sample to be in a liquid phase
For solid samples several techniques are taken to transfer theanalyte into the liquid phase
Care must be taken in these steps to preserve the integrity of theanalyte by considering the possibility of contamination loss orchemical and physical changes to the analyte
Perform Measurements
Once the sample has been prepared it is necessary to measurereplicate samples to establish the precision of the method
The measurement depends upon the interaction of the techniquewith a unique chemical or physical property of the analyte
Consider the example involving the use of IR spectrophotometryto measure the residual styrene and acrylonitrile monomersremaining in a copolymer sample
The measurement relies on the fact that the aromatic carbon-carbon bonds in the styrene monomer absorb infrared radiation atapproximately 1600 cm-1 while the cyano group of theacrylonitrile monomer absorbs at 2275 cm-1
An accurate analysis will assure minimal or no absorbance of thestyrene monomer at the frequency of the acrylonitrile monomer
Compare Results with Standards
Reliable and convincing analytical results must involve a propercareful comparison of the analytersquos signal to that of appropriatestandards of known analyte concentration as well as a calibrationblank solution This is known as calibration or standardization
Calibration establishes the mathematical relationship between theanalytical signal and the concentration of analyte in the calibrationstandards The most common approach is to develop a ldquoworkingrdquocurve
