  2. Calibration curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_curve

    A calibration curve plot showing limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), dynamic range, and limit of linearity (LOL).. In analytical chemistry, a calibration curve, also known as a standard curve, is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration.

  3. Evans balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evans_balance

    Calibration involves taking three readings: one with an empty tube R 0, one with a tube filled with the calibration reference material, and one with the tube filled with the sample R s. Some balances feature an auto-tare function that eliminates the need for the R 0 measurement. [11] The first two readings provide a calibration constant (C).

  4. Standard addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_addition

    Using the calibration curve method, the analyst can calibrate the spectrometer with a pure silver aqueous solutions, and use the calibration graph to determine the amount of silver present in the waste samples. This method, however, assumes the pure aqueous solution of silver and a photographic waste sample have the same matrix and therefore ...

  5. Custody transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custody_transfer

    Custody transfer measurements involve measurements in pipelines, storage tanks, transportation tanks (tankers, trailers or railway tanks) - whole fuel distribution process must be traceable. In order measurements can be made in a volume or mass units (or both), so various metering methods are commonly used. [3]

  6. Internal standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_standard

    The calibration curve that does not use the internal standard method ignores the uncertainty between measurements. The coefficient of determination (R 2 ) for this plot is 0.9985. In the calibration curve that uses the internal standard, the y-axis is the ratio of the nickel signal to the yttrium signal.

  7. Isotope dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope_dilution

    Owing to both of these advantages, the method of isotope dilution is regarded among chemistry measurement methods of the highest metrological standing. [1] Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom.

  8. Matrix (chemical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(chemical_analysis)

    In cases with complex or unknown matrices, the standard addition method can be used. [3] In this technique, the response of the sample is measured and recorded, for example, using an electrode selective for the analyte. Then, a small volume of standard solution is added and the response is measured again. Ideally, the standard addition should ...

  9. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]
