The standard addition analysis is a method to determine the concentrationof an analyte in an unknown sample via adding a proper quantity of thevolume of a known-concentration standard solution of the analyte to thesample. The added sample and the sample are measured individually byan analytical method. The concentration of the analyte in the sample canthen be calculated by using a simple formula with the information of themeasured analytical signals collected from the analytical method, thesample volume, the concentration and the added volume of the standardsolution. Besides reviewing the standard addition analysis, this articlepresents the minor volume standard addition analysis, in which a minorquantity of the volume of the standard solution is added to the sample.The minor quantity of the added volume is defined as one percent or less ofthe sample volume. The minor volume standard addition analysis is capableof not only determining the concentration of the analyte in the sample,but also identifying the interference from the matrix of the sample on theanalytical method. This article also discusses the types of matrix inter- ference on the analytical method and the effect of matrix interference onthe concentration of an analyte as determined by the minor volume standardaddition analysis. |
