Glossary


EVISA is providing a list of terms used in the area of speciation and fractionation analysis. Since speciation analysis is a field of analytical chemistry that is specified by a pronounced interdisciplinary cooperation between different sciences such as biochemistry, medicine, biology, environmental sciences, nutritional sciences and material sciences its terminology is a complex mixture of terms used in all these.

You may search for a term or browse the glossary alphabetically.

(In case that you cannot find the term you may consult more special glossaries or handbooks about nomenclature. For more details please consult EVISA's Link pages related to terminology,

Zeeman effect background correction
Zeeman-effect background correction is used in atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) to provide correction for background interferences that could produce analytical errors. Samples are atomized in the presence of a strong AC magnetic field, allowing true analyte atomic absorption to be distinguished from other non-specific species absorption.

zeta potential
 - the potential difference at any point within an electrical double layer.

zwitterion
A compound that carries positive and negative charges on different atoms, but is neutral overall.
