Abstract. The differential nucleus concentration defined in Vali (1971) is re-examined and methods are given for its application. The purpose of this document is to facilitate the use of differential spectra in describing the results of drop freezing, or similar, experiments and to thereby provide additional insights into the significance of the measurements. The additive nature of differential concentrations is used to show how the background contribution can be accounted for in the measurements. A method is presented to evaluate the confidence limits of the spectra derived from given sets of measurements.

Abstract Measurements of molar absorptivities in methanol were carried out by two laboratories on samples of anatoxins Bi and Gi prepared and purified independently in four laboratories and on samples of aflatoxins B2 and G2 prepared and purified independently in three laboratories. Molar absorptivities of pure aflatoxins Bi, B2, G1, and G2 in benzene-acetonitrile (98 + 2) were determined at two laboratories. With the exception of aflatoxin G2, no significant difference between aflatoxin samples could be demonstrated. Molar absorptivity values and absorbance ratios for each aflatoxin, based on these data, are given. Statistical 95% confidence limits were established for a single determination of molar absorptivity. A statistical study was made of the components of variance which contribute to the accuracy of the determination of molar absorptivity. A comparison of the fluorescence intensities of spots of various aflatoxin preparations, developed on silica gel-coated thin layer plates, with the amount of aflatoxin in each spotting solution as determined by absorbance measurements, demonstrated the validity of using absorbance and fluorescence comparison measurements for aflatoxin quantitation.
