Abstract
In order to perform high accuracy analytical measurements most analytical techniques require some form of calibration using standards of the same quantity as that being measured. The highest accuracy calibration standards are those prepared by mass (gravimetrically) as opposed to by volume (volumetrically). The use of gravimetrically prepared standards to calibrate analytical techniques that rely on fixed volume injections can cause systematic errors, even when the analytical technique does not suffer from a chemical matrix interference. The origin of these errors is explained and is demonstrated experimentally for the analysis of sulphate in synthetic seawater samples, and the measurement of the anionic content of particulate matter following extraction with water and wetting agents; where average measurement biases of +2.7 and β3.2%, respectively, were observed. Proposals are offered for methods to overcome this βphysical matrix effectβ.

The effect of static loading on matrix synthesis was measured in intact bovine coccygeal discs. The discs were maintained at 37Β°C in a humid atmosphere and were perfused across their upper and lower surfaces for as long as 8 hours with media containing radioisotopes (3H-proline and 35S-sulphate) via
