RESUMO
Understanding instrumental analysis is essential for obtaining reliable analytical results required by chemists in a variety of research areas and industrial activities. All instrumental techniques involve undesirable background (BG) signals originated either from concomitants in the sample or by spurious (e.g. electrical or optical) effects intrinsically related to the measurement process. BG signals may affect accuracy, precision and detection limits. Techniques characterized by low BG stands out by high detectability even when they are based on processes with low efficiency (e.g. low quantum yields and low efficiency of thermal excitation). However, minor attention has been given to this topic in analytical chemistry courses hindering students' understanding of the BG concept and its impact on the analytical performance. Although in some analytical techniques BG is well-defined and successfully compensated, some of them still need further elucidation. Sources of BG and strategies for its minimization and correction are didactically discussed for a variety of analytical techniques, including molecular and atomic spectrometry, electroanalytical methods, and separation techniques. Historical aspects and recent approaches are also addressed.
