Quality editorial content

Spectroscopy is a discipline consisting of a wide range of techniques. Whilst

many scientists use a variety of techniques to achieve their analytical goals,

they will not have a detailed understanding of all spectroscopic technqiues.

The articles published in Spectroscopy Europe and Spectroscopy Asia are

commissioned by our Article Editor, John Chalmers, and carefully edited to

ensure that they are of high scientific quality but also will be of interest to a wide

range of our readers, whether they are experts in the technique covered or not.

Our regular columns, the Tony Davies Column and Quality Matters, are joined

in 2015 by a new column on representative sampling. The Tony Davies Column

alternates between chemometrics and data handling and standards, as well as

a wide range of EU and other initiatives across the whole of spectroscopy. Kim

Esbensen and Claas Wagner are our new column editors for the column on

representative sampling: a vital link in the analytical chain and one that is easy to

overlook: no more after you have read Kim and Claas’s contributions.

Quality Matters addresses the ever-increasing importance, and complexity, of

ensuring that our analyses are correct. Chris Burgess, John Hammond and

Peter Jenks guide readers through the minefield of ISO standards and how they

affect the spectroscopic community.

The diary of Future Events is probably the most detailed

listing available of conferences, courses and exhibitions

related to spectroscopy. It is appreciated by our readers and

frequently consulted by those needing to know “what’s on when”.

New Products are important to all readers and published

free of charge after editing. All companies with genuinely

new products in spectroscopy are invited to sent us press

releases. Make sure you include or provide a link to high-resolution images

in case we wish to use them. We are also pleased to receive details of new

application notes.

Our regular Product Focuses (see page 14 for schedule)

highlight products in particular techniques and are an opportunity for you to

promote your products to our wide readership.

IntroductionThiabendazole (TBZ), [2-(4-thiazolyl) benzimidazole, also known as E233], is a chemical fungicide and parasiticide largely used on vegetables and fruit in order to prevent mould, blight and other diseases resulting from long transportation and storage (Figure 1). TBZ is largely used as an ingredient in waxes applied to the skins of citrus fruits, being generally considered to have low acute dermal toxicity. It is neither irritating to the eyes or skin nor is it a dermal sensitiser. Among toxicity cate-gories, which range from 1 (most toxic) to 4 (least toxic), TBZ is designated as

4. Despite this low acute toxicity, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified TBZ as a slightly toxic pesti-cide while other sources have classified it as likely to be carcinogenic.1 Currently, EU regulations indicate maximum permitted levels for certain pesticides2 in products of plant origin; consequently, adequate and sensitive techniques are required to control them. Ideally, these methods would work in a non-destructive manner and operate fast at low cost. With regard to TBZ, the Romanian Directive, aligned to the EU regulation, specifies the maximum level as 6 mg kg–1 in the case of citrus

fruits. TBZ is not approved as a food addi-tive in the EU.3

SERS combines fingerprint specific-ity with a signal enhancement which is several orders of magnitude greater than conventional Raman spectro-scopy and has, for example, been used to investigate the vibrational proper-ties of adsorbed molecules on noble metal nanosurfaces. This has yielded rich information on the adsorbate at very low concentrations.5 SERS uniquely identifies molecules and enables the detection of individual species and their functional groups involved in adsorption processes. The enhancement factor can be as high as 1014–1015, which allows the technique to be sensitive enough

The last furlong (2) Data Compression by waveletsA.M.C. Daviesa and Tom Fearnb

aNorwich Near Infrared Consultancy, 10 Aspen Way, Cringleford, Norwich NR4 6UA, UK. E-mail: [email protected] of Statistical Science, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK.

Historical introductionI first heard of “Wavelets” at the “Chambersburg” (International Diffuse Reflection) Conference in 1996. I did not understand it but thought it might be an important topic so I asked the lecturer to try to explain it again. He tried hard but I still did not get it. He said he would send me some papers. He did, but I did not understand them. Two years later at the next IDRC, Tom and I ran our “Introduction to NIR and chemometrics” short course (which we had been doing for several IDRCs) but we were also asked to present a one-day course on “Advanced Chemometrics”. We organ-ised this by e-mail and telephone. One of the topics was to be data compres-sion, I would talk about Fourier and Tom would cover wavelets (I still did not understand wavelets so I was espe-cially looking forward to this part of the course). At Chambersburg, I did my bit on Fourier (very similar to the previous TD column1) and Tom began his expla-nation of wavelets. In less than 10 minutes, I understood! We hope you will also understand when you have read this article!—Tony Davies

WaveletsCompared to Fourier, wavelets in their current form are a very recent devel-opment, in the late 1980s. They were invented by the Belgian mathematician Ingrid Daubechies and are described in a paper in 1992.2

In some ways wavelets are simi-lar to the sine and cosine waves we use in Fourier transformation: they have the same mathematical proper-ties that allow them to be used to fit spectra but they are different in two important ways. First, wavelets are not smooth curves, some have quite jagged features, and second, they are locally weighted. There are an infinite number of possible wavelet shapes but because they are difficult to invent* there are not very many. Three of those invented by Daubechies, are shown in Figure 1, they are known by the names, Daubechies extremal phase, Coiflet and Symmlet. Each of these waveforms has been subjected to minor changes and are distinguished by a number, D2–D10, C2–C5 and S2–S8, shown in Figure 2.

*The majority of mathematicians prefer the word “discover” on the grounds that all mathematics is either possible (waiting to be discovered) or not possible (cannot be discovered or invented). This may be so but it is sometimes obvious that “invent” is the appropriate word. Interestingly, after I wrote this note I discovered a website containing an interview with Ingrid Daubechies in which she said that she believes that all mathematics is “constructed” not discovered!]

QUALITY MATTERS

Looking back in anger?Peter Jenksa and John Hammondb

aThe Jenks Partnership, Newhaven House, Junction Road, Alderbury, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5 3AZ, UKbStarna Scientific Ltd, 52–54 Fowler Road, Hainault Business Park, Hainault, Essex, IG6 3UT, UK

Back in 1956 John Osborne wrote his play “Look Back in Anger”, about a love triangle involving an intelligent and educated but disaffected young man of working class origin, his upper-middle-class, impassive wife and her haughty best friend. The play, which went on to great success on the “silver screen”, gave rise to the phrase “angry young men” used to describe those who employed harsh realism in the theatre to contrast to the more escapist style of theatre in the early years of the 20th century.

In this edition of Quality Matters I will look at the triangular relationship between ISO/IEC 17025, together with its parent the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and not forgetting the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), the Laboratory Accreditat ion Services that audit conformity and the laboratory quality manager (QM). In doing so, I wonder if we are building a generation of angry young QMs, who are comfortable in the structured, unforgiving and increasingly regimented world of quality in the 21st century, truly “angry young managers”!

We shall start at the very beginning: a long time ago, back in 1978 with the publication of ISO Guide 25. ISO Guide 25 set out a framework which advised on the procedures that might be used to accredit testing laboratories. Back then the PC and the internet were but a distant dream and the laboratory computer, if there was one, was a terminal to a mainframe! Indeed back in 1978 this paper was still set using linotype generated hot lead!

From 1978 ISO Guide 25 went through a number of iterations until in 1999 it was withdrawn with the release of ISO/IEC 17025. But ISO/IEC 17025 was much more than ISO Guide 25, it was the result of more than three years of work

which had started with a simple revision to ISO Guide 25 but ended up being a total rethink, with input from many other sources including ILAC and others. There is a good overview of the transformation of ISO Guide 25 into ISO/IEC 17025 by Marie C. Walsh in Accred. Qual. Assur. 4(8), 365–368 (1999).

It was at this point that the relative virtues of “Guide” vs “Standard”, even now frequently debated in relation to the accreditation of Reference Material Producers now provided the regulatory shift from guidance to enforcement.

It may be thought that the biggest dif ference was that as a Standard it was prescriptive rather than an advisory Guide, but I would argue that there was a more significant change. For the very first time, the new standard clearly differentiated between Management requ i rements and Technical requirements in an analytical laboratory. Separating these functions made responsibilities clear and laid the foundation for a robust and properly managed quality system. The additional Technical requirement also differentiated it from the purely Quality Management standard requirements of ISO 9000.

Unfortunately ISO/IEC 17025:1999 did not have much of an impact as in parallel with the work to migrate ISO Guide 25 to ISO Standard 17025 work had been proceeding on a major revision of ISO 9000, this concluded with publication in 2000 of a new version that encompassed what were then thought to be radical changes in thinking by bringing the concept of process management to the fore. “Process management” can be defined as the monitoring and optimisation of an organisations activity, rather than simply inspecting the final product. ISO 9000:2000 also required involvement of senior management so as

to integrate quality into an organisation’s process system and in so doing stop delegation of quality functions to junior administrators. Another key objective was to improve effectiveness using clear performance metrics with numerical measurement of the effectiveness of tasks and activities. Finally, the standard made it very clear that continual process improvement and tracking customer satisfaction were a journey for the long haul.

ISO 9000 had been about for some time, although first published in 1987, 10 years after ISO Guide 25, it was based on the BS 5750 series of standards from the British Standards Institute (BSI). So its lineage goes back further to the publication of the United States Department of Defence MIL-Q-9858 Standard in 1959. Ten years later MIL-Q-9858 was revised into the NATO AQAP series of standards which in turn in 1974 were revised into the BS 5179 series of guidance standards, and finally revised into the BS 5750 series of standards.

So in 2000 it was clear that there was considerable overlap between ISO/IEC 17025:1999 and ISO 9000:2000 but the wording was not always congruent. Accordingly the ISO groups involved set to bring ISO/IEC 17025 into line with ISO 9000 so that wherever possible normative reference could be made to each standard with identical wording. This all took time and it was not until 2005 that the next version of ISO/IEC 17025 appeared. Most labs had adopted a “wait for the next version” approach, but from 2005 accreditation to the new Standard became the new dawn of Quality Management.

ISO/IEC 17025 was writ ten in a general way and covers all types of laboratories including chemical, biological, environmental, materials and

Article EditorJohn Chalmers is a consultant in vibrational spectroscopy, with many years experience in industry with ICI and in academia. John is a past recipient of the Williams–Wright Award presented by The Coblentz Society for outstanding contributions in the field of industrial infrared spectroscopy. His practical knowledge of a wide range of spectroscopic techniques ensures the high quality of our articles.

Tony Davies ColumnistTony (A.N.) Davies has been a columnist for Spectroscopy Europe since its inception. Together with Tony (A.M.C.) Davies he has produced the “Tony Davies” column until Tony’s retirement in 2014. Tony (A.N.) is Lead Scientist with AkzoNobel RD&I Expert Capability Group in Measurement and Analytical Science in Deventer, The Netherlands and is Professor of Analytical Science at the University of South Wales in the UK.

Quality Matters ColumnistsChris Burgess is an internationally recognised expert in the qualification and validation of instrumentation and systems, analytical method development & validation and the statistical interpretation of data. In addition he has extensive experience in quality systems design and development for the whole supply chain and has acted as a Qualified Person within the EU for more than 25 years.

John Hammond is an experienced analytical scientist, spectroscopist and technical marketing professional. John is internationally recognised in the field of Reference Material production and certification for use in the field of UV-Visible-NIR spectroscopy, currently Chair of ASTM International committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Separation Science, Convenor of Working Group 6—Information Services for ISO/REMCO, and a member of the USP General Chapters—Chemical Analysis Expert Committee.

Peter Jenks has over 30 years experience in analytical, environmental and pharmaceutical businesses. During this time he has promoted the use of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) in support in of ISO 17025 Accredited Laboratories and worked with suppliers to improve both availability of CRMs and their proper use. He has set up new businesses to produce and distribute CRMs and consulted for key industry stakeholders.

Representative Sampling ColumnistsKim H. Esbensen originally trained as a geologist/geochemist, but it was 30 years before he actually worked in a geoscience institution (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland). In-between he established two research groups dealing with PAT and chemometrics. He found a third love, scientifically speaking, some 15 years ago, when he met the Theory of Sampling (TOS), and the field of representative sampling has occupied his career ever since. Kim is specifically interested in the

interaction between process—and material heterogeneity, representative sampling and augmented measurement uncertainty.

Originally trained as an economist, Claas Wagner realised that his real interests were with environmental and energy related topics and therefore continued his education in this direction. Sustainable resource management, emission reduction procedures and energy efficiency issues have all one common ground: decisions need to be based on valid data. This led to Claas’ PhD on representative sampling and data analysis for quality monitoring in large-scale combustion plants. Currently Claas combines his

fields of interest, working as a consultant for various industries providing quality assurance approaches. Throughout all of this reigns representative sampling.

Shimadzu_SpectroEurope_0909.qxd 31.08.2009 13:06 Uhr Seite 1


COMPANY PROFILEDIRECTORY 2010

Company descriptionShimadzu is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of analytical instrumenta-tion. Its equipment and systems are used as essential tools for quality control of consumer goods and articles of daily use, in health care as well as in all areas of environmental and consumer protection. For more than 135 years, Shimadzu has been at the service of science ensuring precise, reliable diagnoses and analyses in medicine, chemistry and pharmacy. In 1934, Shimadzu developed Japan’s first spectrograph. The first UV-VIS spectro-photometer was presented in 1952.

These events were followed by numer-ous other world premières, such as capil-lary electrophoresis on a single chip in the year 2000. In 2002 the Shimadzu engineer Koichi Tanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Spectroscopy, chromatography, environmental analysis, balances, biotechnology and material testing make up a homogeneous yet versatile offering. Customers may select

from a wide range in order to obtain the solution which has been tailored to their individual needs. In this way, Shimadzu has become the only supplier of the whole range of analytical instru-ments whose product offering has grown constantly. At the same time, Shimadzu is the market- or technological leader in almost all areas. Shimadzu is focussed on top quality when developing products, including ease of operation, optimum service and an appropriate price/perfor-mance ratio. Shimadzu manufactures according to internationally renowned quality standards, e.g. Pharmacopeia, ISO, FDA, GLP and GMP.

As a Global Player, Shimadzu oper-ates production facilities and distribu-tion centres in 70 countries. Shimadzu’s success is based on more than 8,000 employees worldwide. For over 40 years the European headquarter has been located in Germany, operating 41 subsidiaries and agencies in 64 cities located in 34 countries.

Customer support on a global scaleFrom the very beginning, Shimadzu has been involved in the development of analytical methods related to European regulations and following guidelines focussing environmental protection on a global scale. The common goal is to avoid contamination of air, water and soil in order to protect the health and safety of the European population. This is achieved by preparing limits of maximum allowable concentrations of hazardous substances. Recent examples are the European drinking water regulation, the electrical and electronic equipment act (ElektroG) and the numerous norms and guidelines for controlling biofuels.

In all of those applications it is essen-tial to provide the right “tool sets” in order to support the accurate monitoring of harmful substances (such as mercury, cadmium and lead) in our environment. These tool sets consist of one or more analytical systems. Elemental analysis is obviously the most important tool for quantitative analysis and requires precise systems such as X-ray fluorescence, ICP- and atomic absorption spectrometers, e.g. the new AA-7000 series. These instruments are able to detect trace concentrations of hazardous compo-nents. Determination of hexa valent chromium can be carried out quickly and easily using a UV-VIS spectropho-tometer such as the UV-1800. For the specific identification of analytes from the near to the far infrared range, FT-IR spectrometers such as the IRAffinity-1 are used.

Shimadzu offers state-of-the-art hard-ware and software solutions for the accu-rate determination of samples in various application segments. The company provides the competence and know-how of a market leader in manufacturing analytical instruments.

PROFILE


The Optical Sensor Systems Division of Carl Zeiss offers a compre-hensive line of individual optical components and dedicated solu-tions in process analysis.

The following products are offered:

SpectrometersWe offer a wide range of spectral sensors, suitable for industrial appli-cations, for spectrometers with fibre optic coupling and a spectral range from 190 nm to 2200 nm. Depending on application and require-ments, the sensors in the MMS, MCS or PGS family will be used. Thanks to the special design, extremely good temperature stability and sturdiness is achieved, making the sensors ideal for industrial applica-tions. The CCD and diode array technologies ensure short measuring times and high sensitivity.

Spectrometer systemsCarl Zeiss offers the MCS 600 and the CORONA PLUS for measure-ments in the UV/visible and NIR spectral range. The MCS 600 is espe-cially suitable for measurements in the UV range, offering versatility and a very high degree of flexibility.

The CORONA PLUS is an industrial reflection/transmission head for measuring applications in the VIS/NIR range. A spectral sensor and micro-computer are already integrated. A combination of modern diode array technology, high-precision optics, fast and high-resolution electronics have resulted in a measuring head for different measuring tasks in process monitoring, quality control and in the laboratory.

The total elimination of moving mechanical components offers a very high degree of reliability and permanent correctness of the spec-tral wavelength. And all this in combination with a scanning time in the milliseconds range and simultaneous detection of a wavelength range from 340 nm to more than 2200 nm.

The option of parallel detection and evaluation of the visible wave-length range and the Near Infrared also enables the CORONA PLUS to tackle new types of measuring concepts. Application-specific measur-ing geometry and accessories allow the performance of a wide variety of measuring tasks.
