Guidelines for Calibration in Analytical Chemistry Part 1: Fundamentals and Single Component Calibration

(IUPAC Recommendation 1998)

K. Danzer and L. A. Currie

Synopsis: This IUPAC nomenclature document has been prepared to establish a uniform and meaningful approach to terminology, notation, and formulation for calibration in analytical chemistry. In this first part, general fundamentals of calibration are presented, namely for both relationships of qualitative and quantitative variables (relations between variables characterizing certain types of analytes and measured signals in certain positions of a measured function on the one hand and between variables characterizing the amount or concentration of the chemical species and the intensities of the measured signals, on the other hand). On this basis, the fundamentals of the common single component calibration which models the relationships y = f(x) between the signal intensities y and the amounts or concentration are represented. Additional papers will be prepared dealing with extensive relationships between several signal intensities and analyte contents, namely with multivariate calibration and with optimization and experimental design.
