Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview01:02

Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview

Ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible or UV–Vis) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that investigates the interaction between matter and UV–Vis light within the electromagnetic spectrum. This method is widely used for its versatility, simplicity, and relatively quick data acquisition, making it valuable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. When UV–Vis radiation passes through a material,  molecules absorb light depending on the energy required for electronic transitions. As a result...
UV–Vis Spectrometers01:14

UV–Vis Spectrometers

The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell. Samples for...
UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Woodward–Fieser Rules01:29

UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Woodward–Fieser Rules

UV–Visible absorption spectra of conjugated dienes arise from the lowest energy π → π* transitions. The light-absorbing part of the molecule is called the chromophore, and the substituents directly attached to the chromophore are called auxochromes. A strong correlation exists between the absorption maxima, λmax, and the structure of a conjugated π system. The Woodward–Fieser rules predict the value of λmax for a given structure by adding the contributions...
Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares01:20

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...
Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient01:10

Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient

In a linear calibration curve, there is a value called the calibration coefficient, denoted by 'r,' which measures the strength and the direction of association between two variables. The correlation coefficient value ranges from −1 to +1. A value of +1 indicates a perfect positive linear correlation, −1 denotes a perfect negative correlation, and 0 implies no correlation between the two variables. A positive correlation value establishes that as one variable increases, the other increases, and...
Instrument Calibration01:12

Instrument Calibration

Instrument calibration is essential for ensuring that instruments produce accurate and consistent results. It is vital in manufacturing, healthcare, testing laboratories, and scientific research. Calibration processes are specific to each instrument and help enhance data accuracy. Each instrument has a unique calibration process tailored to its design and function to improve data accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Chemometrics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Data analysis

Background:

  • Multivariate calibration relies on effective variable selection.
  • Identifying equivalent and complementary variables can enhance model robustness and predictive power.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel strategy for variable selection using equivalent variables (EVs) and complementary variables (CVs).
  • To assess the effectiveness of this strategy in improving multivariate calibration models across various spectral data types (NIR, MIR, UV-vis).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized three variable selection algorithms: Stability Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (SCARS), Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS), and Monte Carlo and Uninformative Variable Elimination (MC-UVE).
  • Screened for EVs and CVs from NIR, MIR, and UV-vis spectral datasets.
  • Evaluated model performance using Root Mean Square Error of Calibration (RMSEC) and Root Mean Square Error of Prediction (RMSEP).

Main Results:

  • Identified 54 EVs from corn NIR spectra using SCARS, demonstrating comparable modeling performance to basic variables (BVs) with minimal prediction error deviation (<0.003 RMSEP).
  • Screened 15 CVs from the EVs of CARS and MC-UVE, which significantly improved SCARS models when combined with BVs (RMSEC decreased from 0.0207 to 0.0109, RMSEP from 0.0290 to 0.0136).
  • Consistent performance improvements were observed across other spectral datasets.

Conclusions:

  • The developed strategy of using EVs and CVs offers an effective approach to optimize variable selection in multivariate calibration.
  • Screening CVs from EVs of different algorithms and combining them with BVs demonstrably enhances model performance and predictive accuracy.
