Math is greener than chemistry: Assessing green chemistry impact of chemometrics
Q1 Mikhail Saveliev, Vitaly Panchuk, Dmitry Kirsanov
Chemometric modeling is an important part of the modern analytical chemistry allowing reliable qualitative and quantitative analysis in numerous practically important tasks. Besides significant simplification and cost reduction of analytical procedures achieved through the application of chemometrics, there is a considerable green impact from the use of these methods. However, not so many reports evaluate the particular impact of the chemometric procedures on making the analysis green. Here we evaluate this impact using the popular Eco-Scale greenness score. A combination of chemometric methods with inexpensive spectroscopic, electroanalytical and other techniques eliminates the need in applying dangerous and environmentally unfriendly reagents and procedures. Based on the literature data from several representative case studies we have demonstrated that the EcoScale score in addressing particular analytical tasks can be improved up to 40 points through the use of chemometric-based methods.

Quantification of elements in spent nuclear fuel using intrinsic radioactivity for sample excitation and chemometric data processing
Q1Vitaly Panchuk, Yuriy Petrov, Valentin Semenov, Dmitry Kirsanov
Quantitative analysis of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is a very challenging task. High radioactivity, complex chemical composition and personnel safety requirements severely limit the number of analytical tools suitable for this problem. There is an urgent need for the methods that would provide for remote on-line quantification of elements in spent nuclear fuel and its reprocessing technological solutions. Here we propose a novel approach based on the registration of X-ray fluorescence radiation from SNF samples induced by fission products radioactivity. In this case the X-ray excitation conditions will obviously vary from sample to sample; moreover the resulting spectra will be a complex superposition of numerous signals from soft gamma emitters and X-ray fluorescence of various nature. These complex spectra can be effectively treated with chemometric data processing for quantification of particular elements. We have demonstrated the validity of this approach for direct analysis of U, Zr and Mo in SNF raffinate.

Validation of classification models in cancer studies using simulated spectral data – A “sandbox” concept
Q2Ekaterina Boichenko, Andrey Panchenko, Margarita Tyndyk, Mikhail Maydin, Stepan Kruglov, Viacheslav Artyushenko, Dmitry Kirsanov
Spectroscopy has become a popular method in research devoted to cancer diagnostics, therapy, and surgery –anywhere we need to detect tumor cells surrounded by non-cancerous ones. Usually, chemometrics methods are applied to classify cancerous and non-cancerous sites, so proper validation of classification models is required to ensure the reliability of the obtained results. In this study, we suggest using real data for simulation of spectral sets with varying characteristics (size, distribution of classes) – an analog of “sandbox” used in software development – and to validate the models in different conditions. Near-infrared spectra (939–1796 nm) measured from breast tumors and healthy tissues of laboratory mice (152 spectra) were used for simulation of spectral data sets of different sizes (50, 100, 150 spectra). We proposed a simple simulation method based on a singular value decomposition of the real spectral dataset and rearrangement of the calculated residuals. Several algorithms of training and test set selection have been applied to the simulated data (Kennard-Stone, DUPLEX, random, Monte-Carlo cross-validation), and corresponding Support Vector Machines classification models have been trained, optimized, and validated by using a series of test sets with varying “healthy: tumor” classes distribution (1:1,3:1,1:3) and size (10%, 30%, and 50% of the training data set). Performance of the classification models, expressed in values of accuracy, sensitivity, and selectivity, has been compared, and a validation strategy has been proposed.

A Simple Contactless High-Frequency Electromagnetic Sensor: Proof of Concept
Q1Ekaterina Yuskina, Nikodim Makarov, Maria Khaydukova, Tatiana Filatenkova, Olga Shamova, Valentin Semenov, Vitaly Panchuk, Dmitry Kirsanov
We report on the development of a very simple and inexpensive sensor device based on an inductance coil connected to a high-frequency electric field generator. The working principle of this sensor is as follows: liquid sample in a plastic tube is placed inside the inductance coil as its core and this core changes the properties of high-frequency electric current passing through the coil; these changes depend on sample conductivity, dielectric constant, magnetic properties, and capacitance. The electric signal registered after the coil represents a kind of a spectrum that can be effectively treated with chemometric tools. Our studies have shown that such a sensor can be used to distinguish between substances with different physical and chemical properties; different concentrations of ions in aqueous solutions with a linear response in a broad concentration range from 10–3 M to 10–1 M; can quantify the fat content in milk and cream samples with about 2% accuracy; and can distinguish between bacterial cultures and cell line cultures. The measurements are very fast and contactless, and the results show good promise for developing a number of applications of this sensor system.
