Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table contains 15N NMR chemical shifts of various organic nitrogen compounds. Chemical shifts are expressed relative to different standards (NH 3, NH 4Cl, CH 3NO 2, NH 4NO 3, HNO 3, etc.) and are interconvertible. Chemical shifts are

Analytical Standardization and Calibration

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno
Most modern instrumental techniques used in analytical chemistry produce an output or signal that is not absolute; the signal or peak is not a direct quantitative measure of concentration or target analyte quantity. Thus, to perform quantitative analysis

Common Mass Spectral Fragments Lost

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table gives a list of neutral species that are most commonly lost when measuring the mass spectra of organic compounds. The list is suggestive rather than comprehensive, and should be used in conjunction with other sources [1-5]. The listed

Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides some of the common potential sources of spurious infrared absorptions that might appear on a spectrum.

Common Spurious Signals Observed in Mass Spectrometers

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides guidance in the recognition and interpretation of spurious signals (m/z peaks) that will sometimes be observed in measured mass spectra [1]. Often, the occurrence of these signals can be predicted by the recent history of the

Common Spurious Signals Observed in Mass Spectrometers

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides guidance in the recognition of spurious signals (m/z peaks) that will sometimes be observed in measured mass spectra, especially when the mass spectrometer is interfaced to a gas chromatograph [1]. Often, the occurrence of

Detection of outliers in measurements

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The field of outlier detection and treatment is considerable, and a rigorous mathematical discussion is well beyond any treatment that is possible here. Moreover, the practice in the treatment of analytical results is usually simplified, since the number

Detectors for Gas Chromatography

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides some comparative data for the selection and operation of the more common detectors applied to capillary and packed column gas chromatography [1-8]. For more detailed information regarding operation and interpretation of results

Eluotropic Values of Solvents on Octadecylsilane and Octylsilane

Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table provides, for comparative purposes, eluotropic values on bonded octadecyl silane (ODS) and octyl silane (OS) for common solvents.[1-3] For additional information on common, specific and chiral stationary phases for HPLC, and for

Indicators for Acids and Bases

June 22, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Paris D. Svoronos
The following table lists the most common indicators together with their pH range and colors in acidic and basic media. Since the color change is not instantaneous at the pKa value, a pH range is given where a combination of colors is present. This pH

Middle-Range Infrared Absorption Correlation Charts
