Title: Critical Assessment of Spectrochemical Procedures in
Hyphenated Techniques for Chemical Analysis
Coordinator(s): N.H.
Velthorst, T. Vo-Dinh,
D. Moore, and T.
Imasaka
Remarks: Coord. with V.2 (R. Lobinski) and V.3 (R.M. Smith)
Completion Date: 1999
Objective:
The number of developed hyphenated techniques combining
sample treatment procedures, chromatographic or other separation systems,
and spectrochemical and mass spectrometric analysis methods has generated
a bewildering proliferation of acronyms and competing claims of technological
superiority. This project seeks to clarify the definitions of terms
used and to critically assess these hyphenated technologies according
to specific applications.
Progress:
Partial draft revised at Geneva. Completed draft to be circulated
by Velthorst to V.4 members by e-mail by end of 1997.
