Abstract:
A method of determining a constituent related sample property of a multi-constituent sample comprising: subjecting the sample to a perturbation selected to induce a time dependent change in measurement data associated with a constituent related to the sample property to be determined; recording a time-series of measurement data following subjecting the sample to the perturbation; and determining the sample property from the application to the recorded time-series of measurement data of a calibration correlating the sample property with time-series of measurement data, said calibration being empirically derived from chemometric time-series modelling of time-series measurement data recorded for each of a plurality of reference samples following subjecting each reference sample to the perturbation, each reference sample having a different known values of the sample property.
Abstract:
A method of determining an indication of enzymatic kinetics of a monitored enzymatic reaction comprises: originating temporal evolution data, particularly FTIR spectral fingerprint evolution data, of one or both of a substrate and a product of an enzymatic reaction for different known enzymatic activities; establishing in a data processor a calibration correlating enzymatic kinetics with temporal evolution data by applying a chemometric multi-way model to data representative of the originated temporal evolution data; originating corresponding temporal evolution data for a monitored enzymatic reaction of unknown kinetics; providing to the data processor data representing the provided temporal evolution data; and applying to that data the calibration to determine thereby in the data processor a quantitative and/or qualitative indication of enzymatic kinetics of the monitored enzymatic reaction.
