Find the minimum detectable concentration if the average of the blanks is 1.05nAand 0.63nA.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The minimum detectable concentration was calculated as 8.3μM.

Step by step solution

01

Concept used.

Detection limit: -

The concentration of an analyte that gives a signal with a standard deviation three times that of a blank signal.

=3sm

Minimum detectable concentration

Where,

S=Standard deviation.

m=Slope of linear calibration curve.

02

Find the angle θ.

Given,

Standard deviation=s=0.63nA.

Slope of the calibration curve for higher concentrationrole="math" localid="1663342361783" =m=0.229nA/μM

=3sm

Minimum detectable concentration

Minimum detectable concentration

=30.630.229

=8.3μM

Hence, the minimum detectable concentration was calculated as =8.3μM.

Correcting for matrix effects with an internal standard. The appearance of pharmaceuticals in municipal wastewater (sewage) is an increasing problem that is likely to have adverse effects on our drinking water supply. Sewage is a complex matrix. The drug carbamazepine can be measured at low levels in sewage by liquid chromatography with mass spectral detection. When carbamazepine was spiked into sewage at a concentration of 5,
chromatographic analysis gave an apparent spike recovery of 154%16Deuterium (D) is the hydrogen isotope 154%16. Deuterated carbamazepine can be used as an internal standard for carbamazepine. The deuterated compound has the same retention time as undertreated material in chromatography, but is distinguished by its higher mass in the mass spectrum. When deuterated carbamazepine was used as an internal standard for the analysis, the apparent recovery was 98%Explain how the internal standard is used in this analysis and rationalize why it works so well to correct for matrix effects.5,
