C472 Analytical Chemistry
I. Definitions
An ANALYTE is the substance which is to be identified, detected, or separated in some manner. A MATRIX is the sample or medium in which the analyte is analyzed.
II. CA/CAPlus
a. CAS Roles
- ANST Analytical Study
- ANT Analyte
- AMX Analytical Matrix
- ARG Analytical Reagent Use *
- ARU Analytical Role, Unclassified
b. The roles function like field tags: =>s fullerenes/ANT
c. Roles also used in CASREACT and MARPAT databases.
III. Analytical Abstracts
Also online with DataStar, DIALOG, Orbit, and STN International and on CD-ROM.
Database coverage is from 1980 to present. Index terms are assigned from an analytical perspective, making it easy to locate information about the precise analyte (the substance being determined), matrix (the material being analysed), or concept (techniques, physico-chemical parameters, instruments, and more).
The following areas are covered comprehensively:
- General analytical chemistry
- Chromatography and electrophoresis
- Spectrometry and radiochemical methods
- Inorganic, organic and organometallic analysis
- Applied and industrial analysis
- Clinical and biochemical analysis
- Pharmaceutical analysis, including drugs in biological fluids
- Environmental analysis
- Agricultural analysis
- Food analysis.
More than 260 international journals in 12 languages, manufacturers' application notes, and Australian and British Standards are abstracted and new books are reported allowing you to scan the worldwide analytical literature rapidly.
IV. Standards
- ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
- ASTM International Directory of Testing Laboratories
V. Spectral Databases (or Databases that include spectra) in the Chemistry Library
a. NIST Mass Spectral Database (April 1992 edition) on CD-ROM RESERVE Search on the DOS computer at the south end of the Reference Room
Can search for IR, UV, Raman, H NMR, C NMR, Mass Specta peaks as well as ranges or exact values of other physical properties.
c. Properties of Organic Compounds (version 5.0, 1996) on CD-ROM RESERVE Search on the DOS computer at the south end of the Reference Room
d. The Merck Index Twelfth Edition (version 12.3 2000) on CD-ROM RESERVE
VI. Other Sources of Spectral Data Accessible Through IU.
