Analytical Data Treatment: Calibration Curves and Internal Standards

📊 The video discusses the importance of calibration curves in instrumental analysis.

🧪 Calibration curves are constructed using standard solutions and help determine the concentration of an analyte in a sample.

📈 Different types of calibration curves, such as external calibration and addition calibration, can be used to account for interferences.

📊 The video discusses the process of data treatment in analytical chemistry.

🧪 The speaker explains the concept of calibration curves and their importance in analyzing samples.

🔬 Different types of calibration curves are mentioned, including external calibration and addition of analyte.

🔑 The video discusses the treatment of data in analytical chemistry.

🧪 The process involves creating standard solutions and comparing signals in the presence and absence of a sample to check for interference.

🔬 Dilution is a useful technique to minimize matrix interference and find the best dilution factor for accurate analysis.

🔍 There are different techniques for data treatment, such as calibration curves with matrix compatibility and internal standards.

🔬 Calibration curves with matrix compatibility involve the use of synthetic matrices that mimic the sample composition, while calibration curves with internal standards use a substance with similar characteristics to the analyte.

⚖️ The calibration curves normalize the signals between the analyte and the internal standard, correcting for interferences and allowing for the determination of analyte concentration in the sample.
