A
Drift Correction Procedure ![PDF Logo](images/pdf.gif)
A procedure is introduced that can mitigate the deleterious effect
of low-frequency noises often termed drifts on the precision of
an analytical experiment. This procedure offers several performance
benefits over traditional designs based on the periodic measurement
of standards to diagnose and correct for variation in instrument
response. Using repeated measurements of every sample as a drift
diagnostic, as opposed to requiring the periodic measurement of
any given sample or standard, the analyst can better budget the
measurement time to be devoted to each sample, distributing it
to optimize the uncertainty of the analytical result. The drift
is diagnosed from the repeated measurements, a model of the instrument
response drift is constructed, and the data are corrected to a
"drift-free" condition. This drift-free condition allows data
to be accumulated over long periods of time with little or no
loss in precision due to drift. More than 10-fold precision enhancements
of analytical atomic emission results have been observed, with
no statistically significant effects on the means. The procedure
is described, performance data are presented, and matters regarding
the procedure are discussed.

The Independent Method Concept for Certifying Chemical-Composition
Reference Materials
Certified values for chemical-composition reference materials
are often derived from results generated by two or more independent
and reliable measurement methods. This paper examines the concept
of method independence from both philosophical and practical standpoints,
drawing examples from actual certification data. Methods are compared
based on specific criteria and an attempt is made to define the
degree of independence necessary to qualify methods as independent.

Definitive Measurement Methods
This paper describes the use of "definitive" methods in the
certification of reference materials. The definitions, variations,
and limitations of definitive methods are considered and related
to analytical methods considered to be definitive.

Classical
Analysis: A Look at the Past, Present, and Future ![PDF Logo](images/pdf.gif)
The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the scope
of classical analysis, and to explore why its renewal is important.
The histories of gravimetry and titrimetry are traced, including
biographical sketches of some of the important personalities in
the development of classical analysis in Europe and the United
States. The significance of the events surrounding the Karlsruhe
Congress of 1860 is discussed, and the importance of the application
of physical chemistry to the development of classical analysis
is examined. Some reasons for the present bleak condition of classical
analysis in the United States are discussed, together with the
consequences for industrial, governmental, and private analytical
laboratories. Possibilities for the future of classical analysis
are discussed, with particular emphasis on the renewal of chemical
separations and the combined use of instrumental and classical
determinations. The paper is concluded with a proposal for the
renewal of education in classical analysis.

Practical Wavelength Calibration Considerations for UV-visible
Fourier-Transform Spectroscopy
The intrinsic wavelength scale in a modern reference laser-controlled
Michelson interferometer -- sometimes refered to as the Connes
advantage -- offers excellent wavelength accuracy with relative
ease. Truly superb wavelength accuracy, with total relative uncertainty
in line position of the order of several parts in 10^8, should
be within reach with single-point, multiplicative calibration.
The need for correction of the wavelength scale arises from two
practical effects: the use of a finite aperature, from which off-axis
rays propagate through the interferometer, and imperfect geometric
alignment of the sample beam with the reference beam and the optical
axis of the moving mirror. Although an analytical correction can
be made for the finite-aperature effect, calibration with a trusted
wavelength standard is typically used to accomplish both corrections.
Practical aspects of accurate calibration of an interferometer
in the UV-visible region are discussed. Critical issues regarding
accurate use of a standard external to the sample source and the
evaluation and selection of an appropriate standard are addressed.
Anomalous results for two different potential wavelength standards
measured by Fabry-Perot interferometry (Ar II and 198Hg I) are
observed.

Toward a Revival of Classical Analysis
Among the analytical methods used to determine chemical composition,
there are two special methods based on reaction chemistry. These
are gravimetry and titrimetry, and taken together they are called
classical analysis. They are special because they lead directly
to independent values of chemical quantities expressed in SI units.
Gravimetry and titrimetry can be performed in such a way that
their operation is completely understood, and all significant
sources of error in the measurement process can be evaluated and
expressed in SI units together with a complete uncertainty budget.
Such chemical measurements are metrologically valid and stand
alone. They have no need to be compared with a reference material
of the quantity being measured and therefore are called definitive
or primary methods. In this paper the basic equations and terms
of gravimetry and titrimetry are discussed, together with detailed
examples of each. This is followed by a discussion of the errors
associated with gravimetry and titrimetry, and instrumental techniques
that can be used for evaluating these errors. There is also a
discussion of the uncertainties associated with both systematic
and random errors in gravimetry and titrimetry. The paper is underpinned
by historical sketches of several important issues and scientists
connected with the development of classical analysis. A case is
made for a revival of the use of classical analysis in chemical
metrology, together with some suggestions as to how such a revival
might be implemented.
