Abstract:
The multicomponent linear additive model is frequently used in analytical chemistry for the analysis of several components in a single sample. The pressure of unsuspected components in the mixture, which affect the measured response, results in a volume dependent sample background. A method has been developed to test for the presence of a background interferent during the quantitation step of a multicomponent analysis. If a background is detected, quantitative estimates of the desired analyte concentrations can be obtained by applying several chemically and physically meaningful constraints. Two distinct quantitation methods, which are known as the perpendicular projection and the extreme vertex projection techniques, have been proposed. Author
