Optimized sampling protocols and the development of new wipe materials can be facilitated by standardized measurements of collection efficiency from wipe-sampling. Our approach for sampling trace explosives uses an automated device to control speed, force, and distance during wipe-sampling followed by extraction of collected explosives.

This protocol describes a method for investigating the possibility of metamemory, or memory awareness, in rodents. The odor-based delayed-matching-to-sample paradigm is a novel, ecologically-relevant behavioral test useful for determining the extent to which rodents can adaptively respond based on cognitively monitoring the strength of their memory states.

Sign Test for Matched Pairs

The sign test for matched pairs offers a robust method for comparing two paired samples, often for the effects of an intervention in one of them. This method is very useful in situations where the underlying distribution of the data is unknown. The test compares two related samples—often pre- and post-treatment measurements on the same subjects—to determine if there are significant differences in their median values. To conduct the sign test, we first calculate the differences in value between...

Source: Laboratory of Dr. B. Jill Venton - University of Virginia The goal of many chemical analyses is a quantitative analysis, where the amount of a substance in a sample is determined. In order to accurately calculate the concentration of an unknown from a sample, careful sample preparation is key. Every time a sample is handled or transferred, some of the sample can be lost. There are strategies however, for minimizing sample loss. There are also strategies for coping with sample loss and...
FAQs
It compensates for matrix effects by making calibration standards and unknown samples respond similarly during measurement. When solvent, acidity, dissolved salts, and other matrix components are closely aligned, their influence on analyte signal becomes more comparable. This reduces the risk that signal suppression or enhancement will be mistaken for a change in analyte amount, supporting more accurate quantitative results.
The important characteristics include the solvent, acidity, dissolved salts, and other matrix components present in the unknown sample. These factors can alter how the analyte signal changes during analysis. Matching them helps ensure that standards and samples experience comparable measurement conditions, improving the comparability of the resulting calibration response and quantitative analysis.
Direct calibration can become unreliable when the standards and unknown samples have different matrix compositions. Their analyte signals may then experience different degrees of suppression or enhancement, so the calibration response does not represent the sample accurately. Matching the relevant matrix factors addresses this mismatch and helps distinguish changes caused by analyte amount from changes caused by sample composition.
First, identify the major composition factors in the unknown sample, such as its solvent, acidity, dissolved salts, and other matrix components. Prepare calibration standards so these factors closely resemble those of the sample. Measure the standards and unknown under the same analytical conditions, then use their comparable signal behavior to support quantitative interpretation.
The approach is useful in spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis, especially when complex sample matrices make direct calibration unreliable. In these settings, matrix composition can influence the measured analyte signal through suppression or enhancement. Preparing more representative standards helps improve the accuracy and comparability of quantitative results across these analytical measurements.
Sample Standard Matching is especially valuable when an unknown has a complex composition and matrix effects are likely to influence the measurement. It provides a practical way to account for differences caused by solvent, acidity, salts, or other matrix constituents. Researchers can therefore obtain quantitative results that are more reliable and more comparable with the calibration standards.
