Almost 40 years since its discovery,
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS), one of the most rapidly-growing techniques, has gained an increased
interest from various analytical fields.
SERS combines fingerprint specificity with a signal enhancement which
is several orders of magnitude greater
than conventional Raman spectroscopy and has, for example, been used
to investigate the vibrational properties of adsorbed molecules on noble
metal nanosurfaces. This has yielded
rich information on the adsorbate at
very low concentrations.5 SERS uniquely
identifies molecules and enables the
detection of individual species and their
functional groups involved in adsorption
processes. The enhancement factor can
be as high as 1014–1015, which allows
the technique to be sensitive enough

6 SPECTROSCOPYEUROPE
Spectroscopy is a discipline consisting of a wide range of techniques. Whilst
many scientists use a variety of techniques to achieve their analytical goals,
they will not have a detailed understanding of all spectroscopic technqiues.
The articles published in Spectroscopy Europe and Spectroscopy Asia are
commissioned by our Article Editor, John Chalmers, and carefully edited to
ensure that they are of high scientific quality but also will be of interest to a wide
range of our readers, whether they are experts in the technique covered or not.
Our regular columns, the Tony Davies Column and Quality Matters, are joined
in 2015 by a new column on representative sampling. The Tony Davies Column
alternates between chemometrics and data handling and standards, as well as
a wide range of EU and other initiatives across the whole of spectroscopy. Kim
Esbensen and Claas Wagner are our new column editors for the column on
representative sampling: a vital link in the analytical chain and one that is easy to
overlook: no more after you have read Kim and Claas’s contributions.

QUALITY MATTERS
Looking back in anger?

Back in 1956 John Osborne wrote
his play “Look Back in Anger”, about a
love triangle involving an intelligent and
educated but disaffected young man of
working class origin, his upper-middleclass, impassive wife and her haughty
best friend. The play, which went on to
great success on the “silver screen”, gave
rise to the phrase “angry young men”
used to describe those who employed
harsh realism in the theatre to contrast to
the more escapist style of theatre in the
early years of the 20th century.
In this edition of Quality Matters I
will look at the triangular relationship
between ISO/IEC 17025, together with
its parent the International Standards
Organisation (ISO) and not forgetting
the International Laboratory Accreditation
Cooperation (ILAC), the Laboratory
Accreditation Ser vices that audit
conformity and the laboratory quality
manager (QM). In doing so, I wonder
if we are building a generation of angry
young QMs, who are comfortable in the
structured, unforgiving and increasingly
regimented world of quality in the 21st
century, truly “angry young managers”!
We shall start at the very beginning:
a long time ago, back in 1978 with the
publication of ISO Guide 25. ISO Guide
25 set out a framework which advised
on the procedures that might be used
to accredit testing laboratories. Back
then the PC and the internet were but
a distant dream and the laboratory
computer, if there was one, was a
terminal to a mainframe! Indeed back
in 1978 this paper was still set using
linotype generated hot lead!
From 1978 ISO Guide 25 went through
a number of iterations until in 1999 it
was withdrawn with the release of ISO/
IEC 17025. But ISO/IEC 17025 was much
more than ISO Guide 25, it was the
result of more than three years of work
which had started with a simple revision
to ISO Guide 25 but ended up being a
total rethink, with input from many other
sources including ILAC and others. There
is a good overview of the transformation
of ISO Guide 25 into ISO/IEC 17025 by
Marie C. Walsh in Accred. Qual. Assur.
4(8), 365–368 (1999).
It was at this point that the relative
virtues of “Guide” vs “Standard”, even
now frequently debated in relation to
the accreditation of Reference Material
Producers now provided the regulatory
shift from guidance to enforcement.
It may be thought that the biggest
difference was that as a Standard
it was prescriptive rather than an
advisory Guide, but I would argue
that there was a more significant
change. For the very first time, the new
standard clearly differentiated between
M a n a g e m e n t re q u i re m e n t s a n d
Technical requirements in an analytical
laboratory. Separating these functions
made responsibilities clear and laid the
foundation for a robust and properly
managed quality system. The additional
Technical requirement also differentiated
it from the purely Quality Management
standard requirements of ISO 9000.
Unfortunately ISO/IEC 17025:1999
did not have much of an impact as
in parallel with the work to migrate
ISO Guide 25 to ISO Standard 17025
work had been proceeding on a major
revision of ISO 9000, this concluded with
publication in 2000 of a new version that
encompassed what were then thought to
be radical changes in thinking by bringing
the concept of process management
to the fore. “Process management”
can be defined as the monitoring and
optimisation of an organisations activity,
rather than simply inspecting the final
product. ISO 9000:2000 also required
involvement of senior management so as
to integrate quality into an organisation’s
process system and in so doing stop
delegation of quality functions to junior
administrators. Another key objective
was to improve effectiveness using clear
performance metrics with numerical
measurement of the effectiveness of
tasks and activities. Finally, the standard
made it very clear that continual process
improvement and tracking customer
satisfaction were a journey for the long
haul.
ISO 9000 had been about for some
time, although first published in 1987, 10
years after ISO Guide 25, it was based
on the BS 5750 series of standards
from the British Standards Institute
(BSI). So its lineage goes back further
to the publication of the United States
Department of Defence MIL-Q-9858
Standard in 1959. Ten years later MIL-Q9858 was revised into the NATO AQAP
series of standards which in turn in 1974
were revised into the BS 5179 series of
guidance standards, and finally revised
into the BS 5750 series of standards.
So in 2000 it was clear that there was
considerable overlap between ISO/IEC
17025:1999 and ISO 9000:2000 but
the wording was not always congruent.
Accordingly the ISO groups involved set
to bring ISO/IEC 17025 into line with
ISO 9000 so that wherever possible
normative reference could be made to
each standard with identical wording.
This all took time and it was not until
2005 that the next version of ISO/IEC
17025 appeared. Most labs had adopted
a “wait for the next version” approach,
but from 2005 accreditation to the new
Standard became the new dawn of
Quality Management.
ISO/IEC 17025 was written in a
general way and covers all types
of laboratories including chemical,
biological, environmental, materials and

Historical introduction
I first heard of “ Wavelets” at the
“Chambersburg” (International Diffuse
Reflection) Conference in 1996. I did
not understand it but thought it might
be an important topic so I asked the
lecturer to try to explain it again. He tried
hard but I still did not get it. He said he
would send me some papers. He did,
but I did not understand them. Two years
later at the next IDRC, Tom and I ran our
“Introduction to NIR and chemometrics”
short course (which we had been doing
for several IDRCs) but we were also
asked to present a one-day course on
“Advanced Chemometrics”. We organised this by e-mail and telephone. One
of the topics was to be data compression, I would talk about Fourier and
Tom would cover wavelets (I still did
not understand wavelets so I was especially looking forward to this part of the
course). At Chambersburg, I did my bit
on Fourier (very similar to the previous
TD column1) and Tom began his explanation of wavelets. In less than 10
minutes, I understood! We hope you
will also understand when you have read
this article!—Tony Davies
Wavelets
Compared to Fourier, wavelets in their
current form are a very recent development, in the late 1980s. They were
invented by the Belgian mathematician
Ingrid Daubechies and are described in
a paper in 1992.2
www.spectroscopyeurope.com
The majority of mathematicians prefer the word “discover” on the grounds that all mathematics is either possible (waiting to be discovered) or not
possible (cannot be discovered or invented). This may be so but it is sometimes obvious that “invent” is the appropriate word. Interestingly, after I
wrote this note I discovered a website containing an interview with Ingrid Daubechies in which she said that she believes that all mathematics is
“constructed” not discovered!]

Pike Technologies has expanded temperature control options of the GladiATR
accessory, which can now be configured for heating up to 300°C and used
for high temperature kinetic or material
degradation studies. It features reflective optics and a monolithic diamond
that delivers high throughput across
the full mid-IR and far-IR spectral range.
The diamond crystal provides a durable
and chemically resistant sampling interface. The accessory is controlled by the
company’s TempPRO software.
AB Sciex has announced the launch of
SelexION technology for their TripleTOF
4600 system, which provides more
confident identification and quantification of molecules by delivering an additional level of separation between the LC

In some ways wavelets are similar to the sine and cosine waves we
use in Fourier transformation: they
have the same mathematical properties that allow them to be used to fit
spectra but they are different in two
important ways. First, wavelets are
not smooth curves, some have quite
jagged features, and second, they are
locally weighted. There are an infinite
number of possible wavelet shapes
but because they are difficult to invent*
there are not very many. Three of those
invented by Daubechies, are shown in
Figure 1, they are known by the names,
Daubechies extremal phase, Coiflet

Our editorial team
Article Editor
John Chalmers is a consultant in vibrational spectroscopy, with many years experience in industry
with ICI and in academia. John is a past recipient of the Williams–Wright Award presented by The
Coblentz Society for outstanding contributions in the field of industrial infrared spectroscopy. His practical
knowledge of a wide range of spectroscopic techniques ensures the high quality of our articles.
Tony Davies Columnist
Tony (A.N.) Davies has been a columnist for Spectroscopy Europe since its inception. Together with
Tony (A.M.C.) Davies he has produced the “Tony Davies” column until Tony’s retirement in 2014. Tony
(A.N.) is Lead Scientist with AkzoNobel RD&I Expert Capability Group in Measurement and Analytical
Science in Deventer, The Netherlands and is Professor of Analytical Science at the University of South
Wales in the UK.
Quality Matters Columnists
Chris Burgess is an internationally recognised expert in the qualification and validation of instrumentation
and systems, analytical method development & validation and the statistical interpretation of data. In
addition he has extensive experience in quality systems design and development for the whole supply
chain and has acted as a Qualified Person within the EU for more than 25 years.
John Hammond is an experienced analytical scientist, spectroscopist and technical marketing
professional. John is internationally recognised in the field of Reference Material production and
certification for use in the field of UV-Visible-NIR spectroscopy, currently Chair of ASTM International
committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Separation Science, Convenor of Working Group 6—
Information Services for ISO/REMCO, and a member of the USP General Chapters—Chemical Analysis
Expert Committee.
Peter Jenks has over 30 years experience in analytical, environmental and pharmaceutical businesses.
During this time he has promoted the use of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) in support in of ISO
17025 Accredited Laboratories and worked with suppliers to improve both availability of CRMs and
their proper use. He has set up new businesses to produce and distribute CRMs and consulted for key

Representative Sampling Columnists
Kim H. Esbensen originally trained as a geologist/geochemist, but it was 30 years before he actually
worked in a geoscience institution (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland). In-between
he established two research groups dealing with PAT and chemometrics. He found a third love,
scientifically speaking, some 15 years ago, when he met the Theory of Sampling (TOS), and the field
of representative sampling has occupied his career ever since. Kim is specifically interested in the
interaction between process—and material heterogeneity, representative sampling and augmented measurement
uncertainty.
Originally trained as an economist, Claas Wagner realised that his real interests were with environmental
and energy related topics and therefore continued his education in this direction. Sustainable resource
management, emission reduction procedures and energy efficiency issues have all one common
ground: decisions need to be based on valid data. This led to Claas’ PhD on representative sampling
and data analysis for quality monitoring in large-scale combustion plants. Currently Claas combines his
fields of interest, working as a consultant for various industries providing quality assurance approaches. Throughout all
of this reigns representative sampling.

When you host a webinar, you will:
■■ Obtain several hundred qualified and relevant sales leads.
■■ Improve brand awareness and encourage webinar registrations through focused marketing to
our readers.
■■ Communicate with a new audience. Questions may be asked, and answered by the
presenters, at any time during the presentation. All participant questions from both the live and
archived versions of the webinar will be directly accessible to you.
We will promote your webinar through a number of channels. Provided you meet our
recommended lead time of 2 months, you will receive:
■■ Full-page print advertisement promoting the webinar
■■ Three e-blasts to selected readers
■■ Listing in at least one table of contents e-newsletter
■■ Listing in the diary of Future Events
■■ Online promotion on www.spectroscopyeurope.com

Company description
Shimadzu is one of the worldwide leading
manufacturers of analytical instrumentation. Its equipment and systems are used
as essential tools for quality control of
consumer goods and articles of daily use,
in health care as well as in all areas of
environmental and consumer protection.
For more than 135 years, Shimadzu has
been at the service of science ensuring
precise, reliable diagnoses and analyses
in medicine, chemistry and pharmacy. In
1934, Shimadzu developed Japan’s first
spectrograph. The first UV-VIS spectrophotometer was presented in 1952.
These events were followed by numerous other world premières, such as capillary electrophoresis on a single chip in
the year 2000. In 2002 the Shimadzu
engineer Koichi Tanaka was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Spectroscopy,
chromatography, environmental analysis,
balances, biotechnology and material
testing make up a homogeneous yet
versatile offering. Customers may select
16 SPECTROSCOPYEUROPE
from a wide range in order to obtain
the solution which has been tailored
to their individual needs. In this way,
Shimadzu has become the only supplier
of the whole range of analytical instruments whose product offering has grown
constantly. At the same time, Shimadzu
is the market- or technological leader in
almost all areas. Shimadzu is focussed on
top quality when developing products,
including ease of operation, optimum
service and an appropriate price/performance ratio. Shimadzu manufactures
according to internationally renowned
quality standards, e.g. Pharmacopeia,
ISO, FDA, GLP and GMP.
As a Global Player, Shimadzu operates production facilities and distribution centres in 70 countries. Shimadzu’s
success is based on more than 8,000
employees worldwide. For over 40
years the European headquarter has
been located in Germany, operating 41
subsidiaries and agencies in 64 cities
located in 34 countries.

From the very beginning, Shimadzu has
been involved in the development of
analytical methods related to European
regulations and following guidelines
focussing environmental protection on
a global scale. The common goal is to
avoid contamination of air, water and
soil in order to protect the health and
safety of the European population. This is
achieved by preparing limits of maximum
allowable concentrations of hazardous
substances. Recent examples are the
European drinking water regulation, the
electrical and electronic equipment act
(ElektroG) and the numerous norms and
guidelines for controlling biofuels.
In all of those applications it is essential to provide the right “tool sets” in
order to support the accurate monitoring
of harmful substances (such as mercury,
cadmium and lead) in our environment.
These tool sets consist of one or more
analytical systems. Elemental analysis is
obviously the most important tool for
quantitative analysis and requires precise
systems such as X-ray fluorescence, ICPand atomic absorption spectrometers,
e.g. the new AA-7000 series. These
instruments are able to detect trace
concentrations of hazardous components. Determination of hexa valent
chromium can be carried out quickly
and easily using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer such as the UV-1800. For the
specific identification of analytes from
the near to the far infrared range, FT-IR
spectrometers such as the IRAffinity-1
are used.
Shimadzu offers state-of-the-art hardware and software solutions for the accurate determination of samples in various
application segments. The company
provides the competence and knowhow of a market leader in manufacturing
analytical instruments.

We can offer a wide range of ways to make your message stand out.
Belly band
An increasingly popular option. Belly bands enclose the entire issue and readers cannot help
noticing them!
Costs are from £5520 plus handling and postage at £2500 (under 10 g).
Print specials
Spot varnish, metallic inks, a reply card attached to your advertisement with low-tack glue, or even
personalised covers can all be provided. Contact us with details of your requirements and we’ll
provide a custom quotation.
Inserts
Inserts bound into the magazine or inserted loose are a very cost-effective way of reaching our
readership. Inserts can be targeted by country and techniques of readers if required (extra fees
apply).
