There are a number of difficulties dif culties encountered with<br />

quantification<br />

quanti cation after employing derivatization. derivatization.<br />

These<br />

include the fact because derivatization is another<br />

h<strong>and</strong>ling stage in the analytical process, there is<br />

always the risk of sample contamination.<br />

Furthermore, the assumption is made that the<br />

derivatization reactions are ‘complete complete’ <strong>and</strong> that the<br />

corresponding derivatives are stable for the period<br />

between derivative formation <strong>and</strong> analysis. Further<br />

factors are that dilutions need to be extremely<br />

accurate <strong>and</strong> precise to obtain reliable numerical data<br />

<strong>and</strong> that derivatization can potentially lead to<br />

increases in numerical errors for such data .<br />
